Britain's Got Talent is set to start its new series in early 2019, and on Sunday it was reported that Ant is planning to return following his break from presenting duties. Lisa has worked on the show for ten years as the head of makeup, but The Mirror reports that the decision to not ask Lisa back is to ensure that Ant's return goes as smoothly as possible. Talented Lisa has also worked as the Chief Makeup and Hair Designer for Strictly Come Dancing for 11 years.
