The Sun on Sunday revealed how she supported the TV presenter through a rough time – here's what you need to know about her…
Who is Anne-Marie Corbett?
Anne-Marie Corbett, 42, is Ant McPartlin’s personal assistant.
She has been employed by the same London-based management company as Ali Astall, Dec Donnelly’s wife, for ten years but only recently began working closely with Ant.
Anne-Marie separated from her husband Scott last October – they have two children together.
Sources stressed Ant, who announced he was divorcing his wife Lisa Armstrong in January, was not linked in any way to Anne-Marie’s marriage break-up.
The Sun on Sunday’s sources told how the mum-of-two has been by Ant’s side through his “lowest depths” and her unwavering support has helped him on the road to recovery.
In a show of support and commitment the 42-year-old was with Ant when he was taken to a police station after his drink-driving arrest in March — and again when he appeared in court.
A source said: “He’s had a tough time of it, but Anne-Marie has put a smile back on his face again. She has been his rock.”
When did Anne-Marie Corbett and Ant McPartlin start dating?
Anne-Marie and Ant were seen together as early as March, 2018 when she sent him off to work with a packed lunch.
She was pictured walking Ant’s dog with him in April after he left rehab, and in June they were spotted again enjoying a shopping trip at Harrods, with Ant looking healthy and happy.
The source said: “She has worked with him for a while as his PA and things have always been strictly professional.
“But recently something changed and they started becoming more than just friends.
“Both of them are single so they decided to try and see whether something could happen.
“They haven’t actually been on any official dates but they’ve been seen together, with Ant always beaming from ear to ear.
“They don’t live together, but have been living out of each other’s pockets.“
A spokesman for Ant declined to comment when approached by The Sun on Sunday.
The couple were photographed on Friday, July 20 on a double date with pals Dec and his pregnant wife Ali Astall.
What has Anne-Marie said about Lisa Armstrong's accusations that they were once friends?
A source told The Sun Anne-Marie is furious that Ant's estranged wife Lisa has made it look like she was her close friend who betrayed her, telling pals: “She sacked me.”
The insider said: “Anne-Marie is really upset at the way Lisa is trying to portray them as great friends.
“It’s really unfair – she’s trying to make out this is some sort of betrayal, but that just isn’t the case.
“She hated working for Lisa and they didn’t get on well at all. They often clashed.
“In the end Lisa sacked her. That’s hardly the actions of someone’s ‘best mate’."
