Ant and his former PA, Anne-Marie, went public with their romance last year, shortly after his split from ex-wife Lisa Armstrong. 

The presenter previously credited girlfriend Anne-Marie for ‘saving his life’, after battling addiction, a drink-drive conviction and divorce. 

This year sees the return of Ant on the show after Holly Willoughby filled in for him last year as he took a lengthy hiatus from screens to battle his own personal demons.

His presenting duties were originally suspended by ITV in March 2018 after he was arrested following a road collision with a green Mini and a maroon BMW.

Ant later pleaded guilty to driving under the influence at Wimbledon Crown Court. He was banned from driving for 20-months and fined a British record £86,000 for drink-driving.

Speaking in August 2018, the presenter confirmed he was taking a temporary break from all presenting duties in order to focus on his recovery.

In a statement, he said: ‘My recovery is going very well and for that to continue having spoken to Dec and ITV, I have made the decision to take the rest of the year off.

Exciting: Ant and Dec recently posted a snap of themselves to their Instagram account as they prepare to host the latest series of I’m A Celebrity

‘I’d like to thank both Dec and ITV for their continued support and I look forward to getting back to work in the new year.’

Ant and Dec recently posted a snap of themselves to their Instagram account as they prepare to host the latest series of I’m A Celebrity.

The outing comes after Dec admitted that he thought he had ‘lost’ his best friend of 31 years for good when Ant was arrested for a drink-driving conviction last year.

Speaking in their ITV documentary Ant & Dec’s DNA Journey, Dec said: ‘It has been a tough couple of years and it has tested the bond we have shared since we were 13.’

Dec added: ‘I was incredibly angry at the start, so angry. Disappointed that he didn’t ever come to me and say “I am struggling, I need you,” because that is what I would do if the shoe was on the other foot. And he never came to me and that hurt me a lot.’

The ITV documentary was halted for two years while Ant took a break from the spotlight to battle his addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. He admitted himself to rehab for further treatment. 

During this time, Dec admitted he was ‘filled with fear’ at the thought of no longer having Ant by his side. 

I’m A Celebrity kicks off on Sunday 17 November at 9pm on ITV.
