If you had managed to retain your right of residence after divorce, then all your time in UK including the time you were married to your previous spouse will count, but because you were not able to provide evidence of the fact that you retained your right of residence after divorce, the clock will start ticking after your marriage breakdown. In actual fact, you could have faced removal, at the time, when the UKBA found out you don't qualify for retention of right of Residence.
You will now have to wait for 5 years or the time your relationship start with the new EEA national resident in the UK, before you can apply for Permanent Residence.
