Ant McPartlin's estranged wife Lisa Armstrong beams as she returns to work on Strictly Come Dancing

She debuted her new periwinkle-coloured hair earlier this week as she moves on with her life following her split from husband Ant McPartlin, 42.

And Lisa Armstrong beamed as she returned to work on Strictly Come Dancing, revealing her new wrist tattoo and carrying her beauty inspiration for this series new recruits on Wednesday. 

The 41-year-old, who is a make-up artist on the beloved BBC dance show, grinned from ear-to-ear as she made her way into the studio in a pair of denim hotpants.

Lisa's frayed Daisy Dukes highlighted her slender pins as she teetered across the pavement in a pair of tan leather ankle boots. 

She offset her skimpy jean shorts with an oversized charcoal wool jumper which boasted a v-neckline and teased at her decolletage. 

Lisa worked her newly dyed tresses into a messy top knot which she kept in place with a red bandanna, as she joined the likes of Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman at the rehearsals.

Keeping her accessories to a minimum, she draped her large Louis Vuitton tote over her forearm and sported a pair of large silver hoop earrings, one of which appeared to fallout as she left the studio later in the evening.
