Ant’s out ..but the rehab is not over
ANT Mcpartlin looks healthy and happy as he takes his dog Hurley for a walk after a month in rehab.
But the troubled Britain’s Got Talent star will continue his battle against booze and emotional problems at home – with mum Christine Woodhall’s help.
It is understood she will support him in his fight against the demons after the drink-drive smash that led him to enter rehab in the first place.
Ant has been back at his €5million home in Chiswick, South West London, since Thursday.
The 42-year-old was spotted smiling as he mingled with fellow dog walkers later that day – including a blonde woman. Ant split with wife Lisa Armstrong, 41, this year as he battled an addiction to painkillers.
The presenter was this month banned from the road for 20 months and fined €98,000 after admitting drink-driving.
Christine was in the car when he crashed into two motors carrying children in nearby Richmond. But Wimbledon magistrates court heard she was unaware her son had been drinking.
Speaking after the hearing, Ant said: “I want to say I’m truly sorry for what happened. High standards are expected SCARLETT Moffatt says rumours that she and Ant Mcpartlin are romantically linked are “ludicrous” and “silly”, insisting: “Ant is like my big brother.”
The Saturday Night Takeaway star, 28, first met Ant and Dec when she won I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016.
She described her friends on set as “family” and said the team “pulled together” without recovering host Ant to make the final episode “the best we could”. of me, I expect them of myself. I’ve let myself down, I let a lot of people down.
“I’d like apologise to everybody involved in the crash and I’m just thankful no one was seriously hurt.”
In a statement read by his lawyer, he added: “I am ashamed and mortified.
“I’m addressing what I now recognise as problems with alcohol and emotional issues. As a consequence I have sought immediate specialist help and support.”
Piers Morgan, 53, who worked with Ant for four years on Britain’s Got Talent, wrote in his magazine column yesterday: “He’s clearly going through a crisis in his life and needs proper time and help to sort himself out.”
