Stacey and Kevin, who share a two-year-old daughter, are currently starring in the stage production 2:22 A Ghost Story, which has been touring the UK since August 2025, and features Grant as a fellow cast member. 

Sources revealed that after the show, the couple introduced Lisa to Grant, who is 15 years Lisa's junior. 

A source told the Daily Mail at the time: 'Lisa and Grant have really hit it off - and it's put the smile back on her face.'

The cryptic post sharing comes after the death of the beloved dog she shared with ex Ant.

Ant reportedly made a last-minute dash from the Britain's Got Talent launch to be with his beloved dog Hurley, as the pooch passed away this week.

It's thought that Ant rushed to join ex Lisa at the vet hours after attending the BGT press conference in London.

The pair then made the heartbreaking decision to have Hurley put to sleep, after learning their 12-year-old dog was too ill to recover.

The Sun On Sunday reported that Ant and Lisa were both able to see Hurley beforehand, and the presenter was with the dog as he peacefully passed away.

It's thought that the pair were being comforted by relatives, with Lisa posting a snap on Instagram on Saturday that showed a girl releasing hearts into the sky.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong for comment.
