"Fun night celebrating with this one!!! @lisaamkup Happy Birthday to ya," wrote hairstylist Lisa Davey. Makeup artist Lydia Barnes added another snap with the words: "Celebrating the beautiful Lisa Armstrong's birthday. Love her."

The birthday celebrations come just a week after Lisa and Ant officially ended their marriage. The former couple were granted a decree nisi at a Central Family Court hearing in London which lasted just 30 seconds on Tuesday 16 October. They confirmed their split in January after months of speculation; they had been together for 23 years and married in 2006. The TV presenter has since found love with his new girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett, who was the former couple's PA.
Lisa has worked as chief makeup and hair designer on Strictly for 11 years. In 2014, she received the prestigious CRAFT BAFTA for her team and she has also won the RTS Award, recognising her high achievement in the television community. After her split from the TV star, Ant was arrested for drink-driving in March. The following month, he pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay £85,000 along with being sentenced to a 20-month driving ban.
