I'M A Celebrity host Ant McPartlin is a national treasure thanks to his long career on TV with his good friend Declan Donnelly.
The TV presenter also enjoys another strong partnership with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett.
Anne-Marie Corbett met Ant McPartlin when she was his personal assistant.
She has been employed by the same London-based management company as Ali Astall, Dec Donnelly's wife, for over a decade — but only began working closely with Ant in 2017.
Anne-Marie separated from her husband Scott in October 2017.
The Sun on Sunday’s sources told how she had been by Ant’s side through his “lowest depths”.
Her support helped him on the road to recovery after he was convicted of drink-driving.
Wedded bliss
In March 2018, Anne-Marie and Ant were first seen together as a couple.
She was pictured walking his dog with him in April of the same year after he left rehab.
In August 2021, the couple got married at St Michael's Church in Heckfield, after getting engaged the previous Christmas.
The couple's nuptials were attended by the bride and groom's closest family and friends.
This of course included Ant's long-running TV partner and close pal Dec, who acted as best man.
Ant McPartlin’s baby joy as it’s revealed TV star is having first child with wife Anne-Marie
Before the wedding, a source told The Sun: “Neither of them want the razzmatazz of a showbiz wedding.
"They just want their nearest and dearest with them.
“It will be a simple but beautiful ceremony, without the glare of the spotlight.
“They’re both extremely excited and can’t wait to tie the knot.
"But they’re desperate to keep a lid on things. Those who know have been told it’s top secret."
Married with kids
Ant and Anne-Marie have one child together.
They shared the news of the birth with a sweet black and white snap of the TV star holding their newborn.
They captioned the post: "Welcome to the family.
"Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin. Born, 14/05/24 at 8.54am
"Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess!"
This is Ant's first child, but Anne-Marie has two children from her previous marriage.
First wife club
Ant's marriage to Anne-Marie is his second marriage, as he was wed to Lisa Armstrong before her.
Like her ex-husband, Lisa also found fame when she was very young.
She kicked off her career in showbiz when she won a place at Brit School for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, south London at the age of 14.
Before becoming a singer in the pop band Deuce during the 1990s, Lisa began her career as a professional dancer.
Leaving her music career behind, Lisa became a make-up artist and is the current head of hair and make-up on Strictly Come Dancing, following spells on X Factor and Britain's Got Talent.
She met Ant at a pop concert at Newcastle City Hall in 1994.
Lisa was performing with Deuce, while he was rapping alongside Dec in their group PJ & Duncan.
Ant proposed to Lisa after a lengthy romance on April 26, 2005 while they were on holiday in Dubai.
They tied the knot on July 22, 2006 in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, but they had split by 2018.
Their divorce was finalised in 2020, with her reportedly receiving a £31million settlement.
