Welcome back!
Ant McPartlin has broken his social media silence since entering rehab for drug abuse and depression. He spent two months in rehab battling his addiction to prescription painkillers.
It started as a result of a knee injury in 2014, followed by surgery that went wrong.
He did an exclusive interview with The Sun where he opened up about the effect it had on his marriage and how he hid his addiction for so long out of embarrassment.
He is now out of rehab and adjusting to life again. He spoke on social media to thank everyone for their overwhelming support.
Have to say I’m overwhelmed by everyone’s love, support and well wishes today. Thank you one and all. I’m sending all my love back.

The presenter has said that he hopes to be back in time for I’m A Celeb, which starts in November, but it will be down to the decision of the doctors whether or not he will be fit to host the show.
