Ant McPartlin's estranged wife Lisa Armstrong has responded to questions surrounding his arrest on suspicion of drink-driving.
Ant, who's said to be 'devastated,' was involved in a car crash in South London on Sunday (March 18th); leading him to return to rehab and take a break from television for the 'foreseeable future.'
Now, after 'liking' a photo about loneliness posted by TV presenter Simon Thomas, Lisa has addressed the arrest with reporters.
Speaking over the intercom of her home in Chiswick, West London, Lisa told reporters: "I'm sorry I'm not interested" when questioned about the incident.
This all comes after a friend of Ant's told the Daily Mail he's been drinking heavily since leaving rehab. They said: "Ant likes a good time, he likes being a normal guy. He's a bit of a scallywag, the sort of person who is the last one out of the bar.
"He's a fish out of water in showbiz really, all of that keeping your nose clean isn't him at all. I know that he has been drinking heavily since he came out of rehab. He's not wanted to give it up, maybe he's not been able to."
