Ant McPartlin is set to splash the cash on his upcoming wedding and will reportedly spend £100,000 on a hotel for friends and family.
The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here presenter is preparing to marry partner Anne-Marie Corbett next weekend in a countryside ceremony.
According to the Mail On Sunday, Ant and Anne-Marie have chosen a sprawling stately home, which has been converted into a hotel, in Hampshire for their wedding settings.
Sources claim the happy couple have invited around 100 friends to stay at the hotel, where rooms cost £1k per night and the honeymoon suite £5k per night. Perhaps even more generously, Ant and Anne-Marie have also reportedly encouraged their friends and family to send any spa bills to their room.
Rooms at the Hampshire hotel are said to be more expensive than The Ritz in London.
The pair are expected to tie the knot at a church nearby, with their whole wedding weekend taking place over August 6 and 7. Ant’s best friend and TV sidekick Declan Donnelly is set to be best man.
In June, Ant enjoyed a laidback stag party with his pals at a golf course, with insiders claiming it was an alcohol-free bash in honour of the presenter’s sobriety.

He is believed to have hosted around 15 friends at the golf course in the south of England before heading to a fancy restaurant where they enjoyed a four-course meal cooked by a private chef.
News of Ant and Anne-Marie’s plush nuptials come after another source said the couple were planning a low-key wedding.
‘Neither of them want the razzmatazz of a showbiz wedding. They just want their nearest and dearest with them,’ the source previously told The Sun.
‘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.’

They added: ‘But they’re desperate to keep a lid on things. Those who know have been told it’s top secret.’
Ant began dating PA Anne-Marie in 2018 following the end of his marriage to make-up artist Lisa Armstrong. The couple got engaged on Christmas Eve last year with Ant making a romantic festive proposal.
