We all know that Ant and Dec are best friends, but who are the other special people in their lives?

TV presenting team Ant and Dec are back on our screens every night as I’m A Celebrity 2022 plays out.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have been living in the public eye since the 1990s – when they appeared on our screens in the Newcastle-based TV soap Byker Grove.
They’ve since gone on to find fame as the hosts of Pop Idol, Britain’s Got Talent and Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
Undoubtedly they’ve been lucky in their careers, and to find each other as best pals – but have they been lucky in love?
Here’s what has been shared publicly about their family lives.
Is Ant McPartlin married, and does he have children?

Ant, 46, is married to his former personal assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett.
The Geordie TV star and Anne-Marie tied the knot in Hampshire in August 2021, after a few years of dating. Of course, Dec was the best man.
The marriage makes Ant a stepdad, as Anne-Marie has two daughters from a previous relationship.
Ant previously credited Anne-Marie with being ‘the fundamental reason for the great change in my life’ – following his guilty plea to a drink-driving charge in 2018.
He told The Sun: ‘She’s been my rock. She’s a beautiful soul. We’re very happy. I’m in the best place I’ve been in my life, to be honest with you. It’s great.’

Previously, Ant had a long marriage to make-up artist Lisa Armstrong. They were a couple for 23 years, and were married for 11 of them.
The pair married in 2006 and divorced in 2018.
They had no children together, but continue to share custody of their beloved dog Hurley.

Dec, 47, is married to his and Ant’s manager, Ali Astall.
The happy couple wed in Dec’s hometown of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 2015. Ant was his best man.

Three years later, it was happily revealed that Ali – who is coincidentally from another Newcastle, in Australia – was pregnant.
Ali gave birth to daughter named Isla Elizabeth Anne on September 1, 2018.
Dec sweetly announced her arrival, on Instagram, writing: ‘Ali and I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our baby girl, Isla Elizabeth Anne, who was born just after 9 o’clock this morning.
‘Mother and daughter both doing well, Dad is head over heels!’
On July 24 2022, Dec announced that he and his wife had welcomed a second child, a boy named Jack Anthony Alphonsus, the previous day.
The now father of two shared to Instagram an adorable picture of a tiny baby hand clutching on to his, with the caption: ‘Shortly before 10am yesterday, 23.7.2022, Ali and I welcomed the arrival of our son, Jack Anthony Alphonsus, a very welcome ray of light.
‘He is wonderful and Isla is beyond excited to be a big sister! D x.’
I’m A Celebrity is on every night at 9pm on ITV.
