Ant McPartlin's estranged wife Lisa Armstrong poses with a gun before snapping selfies with pals as she lives it up in LA

She jetted to Los Angeles in the midst of her bitter split from husband Ant McPartlin. 

And Lisa Armstrong seemed to be putting the drama behind her on her holiday as she posed for snaps with her friend and former Deuce bandmate Craig Young. 

The Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist, 41, tried out two American pastimes, heading to a shooting range before embarking on a healthy hike.

In one snap, the newly-blonde bombshell was seen beaming as she posed holding a gun at a range with her friends. 

Craig captioned the image: 'Thank you to @tacticalblackla for teaching us the basics of weapon control. Rule number 1: Always assume that a weapon is loaded.' 

In a second image, he posed for a selfie with Lisa after completing a gruelling hike in the sunshine, which he described as 'good for the soul'. 

He wrote:  'A morning hike is good for the soul. Clears the mind and makes you feel grateful for the world around you!' 

Lisa has been spending plenty of time with Craig since jetting Stateside following the revelation that Ant has moved on with their former PA Anne-Marie Corbett.

It's also been claimed that she's been supported by Ant's double act partner Declan Donnelly, who is said to have sent a kind text.

The TV presenter, 42, allegedly reached out to the make-up artist for the first time since the couple announced their split in January with the message: 'You know where I am if you need to talk. Be strong.'

According to The Sun, Dec has 'found himself in a difficult position and is torn' over the pair's bitter split which has seen Lisa flee to Los Angeles while Ant has moved on with their former PA Anne-Marie Corbett.

Emphasising the fact that he is 'best friends' with Ant, the source also admitted that he 'feels for Lisa and everything she's going through.'

'He doesn’t know what to do for the best. He’s not been in contact with Lisa since she and Ant split but decided he had to reach out after Ant's new romance was revealed,' it was stated.

Speaking further on his dilemma, it was continued: 'He doesn’t want any ill-feeling. He’s in such a difficult position, especially with things getting more ugly.'

His efforts to reach out to Lisa have reportedly paid off as she is now 'content' with Dec after feeling let down by him.
