Looking relaxed, Ant wore a pair of jeans and jumper, flashing a smile for waiting fans as he prepared to get down to business.

Lisa, who currently has pink hair, also looked in good spirits before she got cracking on the make-up for those involved in today’s auditions.

It was the first time Lisa was seen back at work with her ex following the news of their split after 11 years of marriage.

The couple, who had been together for 23 years, confirmed their split earlier this month after their relationship was put under  severe strain since the I’m A Celebrity presenter entered rehab for drug addiction last summer.

The Sun previously reported that Lisa is keen to keep her job on BGT despite the collapse of her marriage to Ant.

A source said: "Lisa has worked on BGT for years and is keen to continue as normal.

"She has friends there and enjoys being part of the show."

Lisa could be in line for a massive pay out in her divorce from Ant and her settlement may be worth a massive £155million.

Ant and TV co-star Dec are estimated to be worth around £62million each.
