New couple alert?

Well, it certainly seems that a load of fans are rooting for Ant McPartlin and Scarlett Moffatt to get together.

It comes on the back of rumour that the pair are romancing in the aftermath of Mr Partlin’s divorce announcement.

She’s already great mates with him (and with Dec Donnelly) having travelled with them last November for the latest series of I’m A Celebrity (a contest she won in 2016).

And they were certainly getting on very well at this week’s National Television Awards, which took place on Tuesday in London. Scarlett even joined them on stage as they picked up an accolade for Saturday Night Takeaway – a show on which the reality TV star has appeared.

As Mr McPartlin, 42, and Ms Moffatt, 27, walked back to their seats, he put his arm around her shoulders and, well, seemingly viewers reckon they saw sparks fly.

On Twitter, where the topic of their supposed romance is trending, tweeters have been calling them “a beautiful couple”.

Ant has had a rough year – and sadly his marriage of 11 years to makeup artist Lisa Armstrong (they’ve been together for more than two decades) broke down.

It is a sad situation that earlier this month his spokesman confirmed.

It was added: “Ant asks for privacy at this difficult time, for both himself, Lisa and their immediate families.”

The Sun On Sunday also quoted a source who reveals that “this was a tough decision for Ant but he has to do the right thing for his health”.
