Lisa Armstrong enjoys a cigarette and fast food



She's been swamped with her work on Strictly Come Dancing whilst husband Ant McPartlin helms the latest series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!



And after celebrating a successful weekend of her BBC show's Blackpool special, the 41-year-old make-up artist was still working as she was seen diffusing a heated discussion between friends at the seaside resort on Saturday.



In pictures and video obtained exclusively by MailOnline, the star was seen puffing on cigarettes as she attempted to calm down her friends whilst stopping off at McDonalds.



Seeming to have come straight from the Blackpool ballroom, Lisa donned a sequined dress with heels, whilst she layered up with a black coat.

She was seen heading into a taxi to head back to her hotel, before exiting the vehicle to comfort a distressed looking friend, who appeared to be rowing with another member of their party.



MailOnline has contacted Lisa's representative for comment.



During Lisa's weekend in Blackpool, her husband Ant celebrated his 42nd birthday in the Australian outback.



The Geordie presenter has had a tough year following his treatment for drink and drug addiction but was keen to mark his birthday online, sharing pictures of the cake and birthday badge he had been given by the I'm A Celeb team.



Lisa, meanwhile, stayed silent on social media - but was quick to wish her dog a happy birthday on Twitter a few days later.



It is not known whether Lisa wished her husband a happy birthday in private. 





Last week, Lisa finally broke her silence on reports of marital woes with Ant following his battles with addiction.



She took to Twitter to hit back at the long-running reports that the duo have separated, as she penned on the microblogging site: 'I'm not estranged thank you', adding that she hadn't been to Australia for 10 years so it wasn't a surprise that she hadn't joined Ant in the jungle.



Viewers were delighted when Ant made his much-anticipated return to TV screens on the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! launch on Sunday night.





And it has now been revealed that the TV presenter, 42 - who looked happy and healthy during the first episode alongside co-host Declan Donnelly in Australia- has lost 'up to a stone in weight' following his recent stint in rehab.



A source told The Mirror: 'The last couple of months have been about him getting back to the Ant people know and love, and he has been exercising the knee, eating more healthily and drinking a lot less.'



Speaking of the Ant - who checked into rehab in June to battle a two year battle to painkillers after a devastating knee injury and fertility issues - a source admitted: 'He put on some weight and looked tired and had bags under his eyes.'



But with a visibly slimmed down Ant appearing on ITV screens on Sunday night, it was divulged: 'The results of all that, and work in the gym, are there for all to see now. He has lost up to a stone in weight and looks better than he has for years





It was also revealed that other than the grisly series ahead, it was his 'new look and physique' which was the 'talk of the crew over the weekend.'



And for Ant, his recent stint in rehab was addressed as Dec opened the show by playfully joking he was planning to replace Ant with Holly Willoughby - quipping: 'No one was sure if you would make it or not!'



Beaming widely for cameras and walking to their famous perch in the jungle for the first time this series, Ant proved he was back to his best - after a summer battling drink and drug addictions.





He has been thrown straight back into work on I'm A Celebrity, which has got off to a controversial start with contestant Jack Maynard being sensationally axed from the series.



Three days into the 2017 series, the 22-year-old vlogger was axed from the jungle show in Australia, after resurfaced tweets that saw him using the N-word and homophobic slurs.



Jack - the younger brother of British pop sensation Conor Maynard, 25 - has subsequently been accused of sending 'inappropriate messages to a female fan' by The Mirror.



Jack appeared in Tuesday night's episode as part of footage from Monday in camp, but presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly later confirmed to audiences that he would no longer take part, and neither his exit or goodbyes were aired.
