I'm a Celebrity presenter Declan Donnelly has admitted that his co-host Ant McPartlin's behaviour prior to their hiatus left him feeling incredibly angry...
The TV duo have been close friends for decades November 06, 2019 - 12:12 GMT Sharnaz Shahid Declan Donnelly has confessed he felt he had "lost" best friend Anthony McPartlin when he went into rehab for his alcohol and painkiller addiction in 2018. In the forthcoming two-part documentary Ant & Dec's DNA Journey, the award-winning TV duo opened up about Ant's troubles, which saw the presenter taking a two-year break from television.

"Work was far down the line." Ant, 43, had been banned from driving for 20 months following his car crash in March 2018. As well as receiving the driving ban, Ant was also fined £86,000 - Britain's largest ever drink-driving fine.
Ant then turned his life around in the year that has followed his arrest, and immediately suspended all of his television work alongside Dec in order to focus on his rehabilitation for alcohol addiction. He then found love with Anne-Marie Corbett after finalising his divorce from his estranged wife Lisa Armstrong. Now, Ant is preparing to fly to Australia to film I'm A Celebrity after Holly Willoughby stepped in for him last year.
