Lisa Marie Armstrong (born 25 October 1976) is a former member of pop band Deuce and now make-up expert for ITV1's programme "This Morning".

Personal Life

Lisa was born and brought up in Cowley, Oxford, England, living with her parents and one younger sister. She attended Peers School, Oxford, but at the age of 14 won a place at BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, South London.

On 22 July, 2006 Lisa married long-term boyfriend, Ant McPartlin in Taplow, Buckinghamshire.

The couple met when they were both performing at a pop concert at Newcastle City Hall in 1994. McPartlin was there as part of PJ & Duncan AKA, whilst Armstrong was in Deuce.

Lisa chose to keep her maiden name for her work, hoping to use her own skills rather than her husbands more famous name to further her career.

Career

Lisa started her career as a dancer from an early age but when her friend, Kelly O'Keefe had work experience with a music management company and was asked to put together a band, Lisa joined Deuce along side O'Keefe, Craig Young and Paul Holmes. Their debut single, "Call It Love" was released in January 1994 and entered the UK charts at number 21 and worked its way up to peak at number 11. The band went on to release two more singles and an album before O'Keefe decided to leave the band in November, 1995 and the band were dropped from their label. The band decided to continue on a new label and O'Keefe was replaced by Amanda Perkins for one single before they disbanded.

Lisa then chose to train as a make-up artist, writing a column for Cosmopolitan magazine before becoming the make-up artist for many British TV shows such as "The X Factor", "Britain's Got More Talent" and many of Ant & Dec's shows. Lisa is also the make-up expert on "This Morning", giving makeovers and short make-up tutorials.
