Meanwhile, a source has told The Sun that Lisa felt "betrayed" by Ant's proud announcement of his son's birth and that has strengthened her resolve to keep Hurley. They said: "She felt very betrayed by both Ant and Anne-Marie and felt that none of this has been handled sensitively, especially the announcement of the baby. The one thing that has got her through it and been by her side constantly is Hurley – she doesn't know what she would do without him. He's more than just a dog to her and has been a lifeline at times."
Lisa recently warned fans she is "ruthless when p****d off" in cryptic post on Instagram. The make-up artist has had a lot to deal with after it was her announced Ant had welcomed his first child with Anne-Marie, who used to be a pal of Lisa's. The former pop star is yet to comment directly on the couple's baby news, but left fans bemused when she shared a comment on her Stories, which read: “Completely ruthless when p****d off,” accompanied by a trio of laughing emojis.

The silent battles you've fought, the moments you've had to humble yourself, the times you've wiped your own tears. Celebrate your strength."
