Ant McPartlin is back on Twitter and his return message is pretty nice

Ant McPartlin has made his return to Twitter following a five month absence.

The TV presenter took a break from social media following a drink driving offence which saw him fined £86,000 and banned from driving for 20 months.

Yesterday, he returned to social media to share a message to a young fan who is suffering from neuroblastoma.

On the joint Twitter account, which has been manned by Dec for the past few months, the pair wrote: “Hey RoarForJess, just a little tweet to send you huge love and a big ROAR!!! Big hugs and lots of love from us both A&D xxx”

Dec was forced to present many episodes of Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain’s Got Talent alone earlier this year following Ant’s arrest.

It has been confirmed, however, that he will return to his hosting duties some time in the near future.

ITV chief executive Carolyn McCall said:

“He will come back when he’s well and and when he is ready to come back ‘ITV will not be putting him under any pressure to come back unless he’s well and fit enough to come back.”

 

Earlier this year, Ant split from wife Lisa Armstrong and began dating his PA, Anne-Marie Corbett.
