Ant McPartlin finally reveals the details of his drug hell as he leaves rehab
He’s one of the best-loved stars on TV, so when the news broke in June that Ant McPartlin had entered rehab, the world was shocked.
Ant and his partner in crime Declan Donnelly had long been seen as the clean-cut duo your little sister and your nan loved equally – but Ant had secretly been battling a two-year addiction to prescription drugs.
He entered rehab after coming clean to friends and family – including wife Lisa and pal Dec – about his dependencies. And after a two-month stay, Ant, 41, has now left the facility and bravely opened up about his struggles, which also left him depressed and drinking heavily.
The presenter’s life began to spiral out of control after he had knee surgery in 2015 and became addicted to a variety of painkillers. Things got so bad that he says he’s lucky to be alive.
