Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have announced they’re stepping back from social media for a few weeks with the most tropical of photo albums to make us dream of a summer getaway.

While it’s not clear why they’re having a wee digital detox (hey, more power to them), reports claim I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here presenter Ant is preparing to marry partner Anne-Marie Corbett next weekend in a countryside ceremony.

The presenting duo – who were wearing Hawaiian shirts, rolled-up trousers and straw hats – posed against a green screen in a series of festive shots on their official Instagram as they let fans know the feed may be a little quiet.

Their caption read: ‘Taking a bit of a break for a couple of weeks, but we’ll see you very soon!

‘Hope you manage to get away this summer🤞and if you do, take us along with you?!’

Encouraging that engagement while they’re off their grid, the pair’s caption added: ‘Add us to your holiday snaps, tag us and use #holidaywithantanddec and we’ll share our favourites!’

Fans were excited to see what the lads got up to on their time off, with one savvy follower having an idea what Ant will be up to: ‘Have fun Guys on your well deserved break. I’m thinking wedding bells are involved too with Ants wedding on the horizon. Existing times. Have a blast.’

So many others wished a happy anniversary for Dec and his wife, Ali Astall, as one mused: ‘We we are gonna miss you boys! Have a nice break and happy anniversary for tomorrow Dec and Ali!’

It comes ahead of Ant’s wedding to partner Anne-Marie, with reports in the Mail On Sunday claiming Ant and Anne-Marie have chosen a sprawling stately home, which has been converted into a hotel, in Hampshire for their swanky setting, with Dec to be best man.

In the lead-up to the nuptials, Ant enjoyed a laidback stag party in June 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.

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.

Ant and Dec’s social media break comes after confirmation I’m A Celebrity will return to Wales this year, due to the Covid pandemic still wreaking havoc with travel to its usual home in Australia.
