Lisa, who works on some of the biggest TV series, was married to Anto for 12 years and was by his side as he battled serious addictions to alcohol and painkillers that threatened to derail his career.
Back in 2013, Ant Sam revealed that the couple were desperate to start a family, before candidly saying: “It’s harder than you think when you get older.”
Now Lisa’s close friend told how the joy of Ant’s baby hit Lisa like a bolt from the blue.
They told the Mail: “Ant didn’t have the decency to tell Lisa.

“Like the rest of the world, she had to read about it in the news and you can only imagine what a shock it was for her.
“For someone you’ve shared so much with to not tell you something they knew full well would become a big, huge story in the press is pretty hard to fathom.
“It’s a terrible shame that Lisa had to find out like this. You can only imagine how hard it would have hit her. Heartbreaking.”
The former couple decided they would not become parents when their efforts at age 40 proved futile.
Instead, they adopted their beloved chocolate Labrador Hurley, who was at the center of a custody dispute early last year.
Hours after the news of Ant’s baby broke, Lisa took to social media to praise Hurley.
In her post, Lisa shared a drawing that read: “Thank you for being my dog, someone I live my life with, and above all, thank you for being my best friend.”

Ant and Lisa married in 2006 after first meeting at a pop concert at Newcastle Town Hall in 1994.
They divorced in October 2018, after separating a year earlier.
I’m A Celebrity star Ant began dating his and Lisa’s former assistant Anne-Marie, who has two children from a previous marriage, in March 2018 and they married in a church in Hampshire in 2021.
They are expecting a baby in June and are “more than thrilled” with the news.
Anne-Marie has reportedly undergone a five-month scan and a source revealed: “This is the news everyone has been wanting. Ant and Anne-Marie are beyond thrilled.
“It’s no secret that Mrav has always wanted children, but that may never happen to him, that’s right
“He is already a wonderful, caring father to Anne-Marie’s children, and together they will be great parents to this newest addition to the family.”
Ant’s best friend and TV co-presenter Declan Donnelly has two children with his wife Ali Astall – five-year-old daughter Isla and one-year-old son Jack.
Ant was pictured doting on them in Australia as the families enjoyed a break between filming episodes of I’m A Celebrity.
