Lisa Armstrong is reportedly hoping to reconcile with Ant McPartlin after his second stint in rehab, but only if he cuts his 'toxic' pals out of his life.

It's claimed Lisa blames several of Ant's friendships for breaking down their marriage and is hopeful they can rekindle their relationship once he ditches the 'hangers-on'.

“Lisa has told close pals that she thinks Ant is lost without her and that the toxic people around him turned him against her," a source told The Sun.

They continued: “She thinks the fact he’s now hit rock-bottom will push him back to her and that he wasn’t thinking straight when he filed for divorce.

“Lisa thinks that deep down he wants her back, and thinks once he’s out of rehab they can rekindle.”

This comes after Lisa opened up to friends about her feelings of guilt since his arrest, as she thinks she could have "saved him".

It was also reported that Lisa had hinted she'd 'been through hell' in the last two years, prior to Ant's first stint in rehab over summer and his arrest for drink driving in March 2018.
"Lisa has told me she's been through hell for the last two years," a source told MailOnline.

"She wasn't sure if her marriage would survive, but she stood by him to try to save him. It has been so hard for her. Ant has been in such a bad way that she often feared the situation was untenable."
