Ant McPartlin reunited with best pal in Australia ahead of the latest series of I'm A Celebrity - which will air in just a week's time
Ant McPartlin has been reunited with best pal Declan Donnelly after flying into Brisbane a week before the first episode of this year's I'm a Celebrity. The 48-year-old arrived a few days later than Dec and joined him and wife, Ali Astall, along with their children Isla, six, and Jack, two, for breakfast in the Cabarita in New South Wales.
It appears that new dad Ant has flown out solo without his family. His wife Anne-Marie Corbett, was unable to join him last year because she was pregnant with their first son, Wilder who was born in May. Anne-Marie, who took Ant's surname McPartlin when they married, has two teenage girls, Poppy and Daisy, from her marriage to businessman Scott Corbett, whom she divorced in 2017. Ant also acts as a proud stepdad to the girls. Ant appeared relaxed in a black Stussy baseball cap, t-shirt and shorts with dark sunglasses on as he headed to a cafe for breakfast with his best friend. A number of his tattoos could be seen on both arms.READ MORE: Kate Winslet weighs in on Titanic door theory and answers question that's divided fans for years Geordie pair Ant and Dec are once again staying in a beachfront €1,200-a-night penthouse they normally rent which is a short drive away from the I'm A Celebrity jungle. On Saturday, Dec and his family had been seen enjoying breakfast in the same spot before admitting to photographers they were struggling with jet lag and heading back into the shelter of their penthouse. Ant and Dec announced they were ending their Saturday Night Takeaway series earlier this year, and the pair revealed it was in part so they could spend less time working and more time with their families. Speaking in Fault magazine, Ant said in February: "On a more personal level, part of the reason we're pausing Takeaway is we need a break ourselves, and we need to spend some time with our family. “We've both got children that we need to spend time with for a little bit. We need time to think and, and time to step back and look at the bigger picture and just see where we are now." However Ant is now set to spend his 49th birthday apart from his family as he hosts the show over the next month. Ant and Dec were seen in an instagram video before heading out to Australia, picturing their reactions as they were being shown the line up for this year's show. They captioned the clip: "If we had to describe this year’s lineup in 10 words? Good. Very good. Really good. Brilliant. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES." Ant and Dec were given cards for each celebrity taking part in the show as their identity was revealed to the hosts for the first time. The Geordie duo excitedly reacted to the stars, with both Ant and Dec exclaiming: "Yes" to each card. One reveal left the stars with open mouths as Dec quipped: "Ooh." They were left in fits of laughter at another participant before looking utterly confused at another. Dec scrunched up his face with Ant asked in a surprised voice: "Is he?" The line-up was concealed from viewers. A total of 12 famous faces will spend up to three weeks in camp starting next weekend, with two traditionally going into camp as late arrivals.
