Ant in depression and addiction battle
Ant Mcpartlin has said he feels he has “let people down” ahead of reportedly entering rehab following a battle with depression, alcohol and substance abuse.
The TV star, one half of presenting duo Ant and Dec, said he wanted to speak out about his issues to help others.
Mcpartlin, 41, said: “I feel like I have let a lot of people down and for that I am truly sorry. I want to thank my wife, family and closest friends for helping me through this really difficult time.
“I’ve spoken out because I think it’s important that people ask for help if they’re going through a rough time and get the proper treatment to help their recovery.”
Mcpartlin will remain in a rehabilitation facility for up to two months.
