Lisa Armstrong was a bona fide pop star before her high-profile marriage - and impending divorce - from Ant McPartlin.
The 41 year old found fame in pop quartet Deuce in the mid 1990s.
And she met her future husband at a pop concert at Newcastle City Hall in 1994 when she was performing with her band and he was spitting bars with Declan Donnelly in their band PJ & Duncan.
Long before their love turned sour, Lisa looks fresh-faced and rebellious in throwback pictures from her carefree pop star days before her doomed relationship began.
The band were a big hit and released four Top 30 singles, before splitting up in 1997.

Lisa, then 18, was a dancer when she was recruited for the band by East 17 manager Tom Watkins and joined her pal Kelly O'Keefe who was lead vocalist.
Craig Robert Young and Paul Holmes completed the foursome.
Their debut single 'Call It Love' reached number 11 on the UK singles chart in January 1995.
They then had Eurovision ambitions and their song 'I Need You' was entered into the UK's pre-selection show but they lost out to Love City Groove.
They had another single 'On the Bible' that reached number 13 and their album On the Loose! charted at number 18 in the UK Albums Chart.

They planned another song but O'Keefe left the band and they dropped by London Records.
Lisa went on to have a successful career as a makeup artist and still works on shows including Strictly Come Dancing and Britain's Got Talent.
Some estimate she could walk away with half of her estranged husband Ant's £60million fortune when they divorce - and a percent of his future earnings.
