The 42-year-old TV host is in the midst of a divorce battle with Lisa Armstrong and the decision has reportedly been taken to move her from the flagship ITV show to the lesser-known 'Britain's Got More Talent'.
A source explained: "Lisa has worked on BGT for years and is keen to continue as normal. She has friends there and enjoys being part of the show."
Lisa is now set to work with Stephen Mulhern, the host of the spin-off show ,but because he has recently been ill with laryngitis, she's not yet been needed on the set.
The insider shared: "She's generally done Stephen's make-up and helped other people but this year the plan is for her to work exclusively on the spin-off."
Despite their impending divorce, Ant and Lisa are doing their best to ensure that their relationship remains civilised.
And both parties reportedly feel that by Lisa switching to 'Britain's Got More Talent', they are less likely to experience any potentially awkward on-set encounters.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "They are all keen to keep things civilised with Ant. It should certainly mean less awkward encounters."
This comes shortly after it was reported that Ant is happy to give Lisa half of his TV fortune in their divorce.
The British star - who married Lisa in 2006 - is keen to avoid a lengthy, bitter dispute in the courts as he remains fond of his estranged wife.
A source previously said: "He want things to be amicable and doesn't want a drawn out court battle with Lisa.
"He still views her as a best friend and wants them both to be able to walk away from the marriage positively."
