Ant McPartlin is engaged to his girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett.
The television star’s publicist, Simon Jones, confirmed the news in a statement.
He said: “Ant and Amzie are delighted to announce their engagement. The proposal was carried out on Christmas Eve at home in a very romantic setting ”.
The couple have reportedly been in a relationship since 2018, following the split from his 45-year-old wife, Lisa Armstrong.
Corbett has two daughters from her relationship with her ex-husband Scott Corbett.
McPartlin of Newcastle upon Tyne has described Corbett as his “rock” after she supported him following his arrest for driving under the influence and his stint in rehab.
He drove away from the limelight after crashing his car in March 2018 when he had more than double the alcohol limit, before entering rehab.
The star had struggled with a two-year addiction to super strong pain relievers following knee surgery in 2015.
His passage through rehab came six months after he was awarded an OBE for his entertainment and broadcasting services along with his presenting partner Declan Donnelly.
In January 2019, McPartlin returned to his television duties alongside Donnelly at auditions for Britain’s Got Talent.
Since then, the duo have talked about how their struggles affected their three-decade friendship and working relationship.
News of McPartlin’s engagement comes shortly after he and Donnelly wrapped up the latest series of I’m A Celebrity, which was filmed at Gwrych Castle in North Wales due to Covid-19.
The ITV show is usually filmed in Australia.
