Ant McPartlin arrested for drink driving

[Matthew.]

https://t.co/tcC1qzbeNC

Honestly don’t know what to think about this one.

Drink driving is unforgivable but Ant obviously needs help. However, regardless of those issues, no excuse especially as he has injured 3 people. Hope he gets his issues sorted out though, but will this be the end of Ant and Dec? Because I can see him getting suspended now.

Thoughts on this?

[Smithy]

Yikes, looks like there won’t be a place on the plane for him anymore

[Morgan.]

To not only have done that but to also have resisted arrest, this really is the end of his career.

And with the end of Ants career brings the end of Decs career, as they're nothing without each other. A Shame as he really does need to get help but he obviously hadn't faced the facts and it's showing.

[Shaun]

I guess the other motorists weren't ready to rumble

Holly Willoughby's Saturday Night Takeaway is coming

Wouldn't be surprised to see Scarlett and Joe/Joel take over IAC tbh - I can't see ITV axing it but I can't see them continuing with Ant and Dec

Oh dear i think you may be right - is there any coming back from this ? it won't go down well with joe public at all, not even from a 'peter pan' Dec is probably friggin livid with him, along with Miss Muppet who has far too much to say.

[Brillopad]

No sympathies. What problems can he have with his £60million - just a selfish twat wallowing in his problems. He could have killed people. No excuses ever.

[hijaxers]

Oh no please my worst nightmare! I want Miss Muppet off tv for ever.

Scarlett and Joel would be great but TiBB would fume :joker:

Stephen Mulhern needs to leave TV but I can see him doing SNT.

He's like the baby Krankie

[Matthew.]

im a celebrity would be hosted by ex campmates i think. people that have won it have become household names. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it hosted by Scarlett, Joel or Stacey Solomon tbh. I can’t see Toff presenting it however.

[Morgan.]

This could get him 3-6 months in prison (looking towards the six as injuries were caused) so that's Takeway finished for this year.

Toffs back on MiC anyway. Stacey was axed from Extra Camp so wouldn't do it. Scarlett and Joel would be the most likely opetion but they might shove Joe Swash in as he is a Fave with them.

Yeah that's if they don't rebrand with New hosts.

CBB is waiting for them on the other side :joker:

[Denver]

Tulisa will replace them on All their shows

[Morgan.]

I wouldn't do such things on the other hand, which means I'm a TiBB Member is waiting for all of you :love: Apply now!!

[Jordan.]

Disgusting but I can't see his career being over.

[Brillopad]

Now he has real problems. But he will still be sorted for the rest of his life.

I feel sorry for Dec as he will no doubt pay too.

[jaxie]

Such a shame as I love Ant & Dec. I think they are a national treasure much like Morecambe and Wise.

Alcoholism doesn't go away with one trip to rehab and the person has to really want to quit because it's hard. I lived with an alcoholic parent and it's tragic. It breaks people, it makes them into people they may not have been otherwise. And of course it hurts other people. I hope he gets the help he needs but it's going to be a long road.

[Jack_]

This is really not good at all and completely reckless, he's looked a lot better the last few weeks but just goes to show how difficult addiction is and what goes on behind the scenes

Hope the girl is okay. Also, I've found the constant 'let's get a picture of him looking haggard walking the dog' culture really distasteful since he left rehab last year. The media really do love to kick someone when they're down and it's just sick

Wouldn't be surprised to see Scarlett and Joe/Joel take over IAC tbh - I can't see ITV axing it but I can't see them continuing with Ant and Dec

There's no way IAC continues without Ant and Dec (at least this year) but if it does then at least it will fail spectacularly as everyone finally wakes up and realises what repetitive nonsense the format is

[Denver]

Am I the only one who find them overrated? They literally say the same things over and over again

[Morgan.]

Yeah I think IAC would be better without them as well tbh. The 'really small man' thing got ****ing boring after 2 days, it happens every year as a way to keep in their faves.

[Morgan.]

Heres what my great aunt has to say ...

Saturday live...I don't know how Ant does it.......so much talent Ant please get better.....we don't get the laughs without you two...life tests us all but you have to fight back ..you will be fine this is just a blip and you can't see the future at the moment. It will get betterxxxxxx

xxxxxxxx

[Headie]

Disgusting but I can't see his career being over.

The nation have never bummed off two people more than they have Ant and Dec. They literally can do no wrong in their eyes.

[hijaxers]

This could get him 3-6 months in prison (looking towards the six as injuries were caused) so that's Takeway finished for this year.

He'll get that top dog solicitor that gets all the wealthy off of charges. Watch these charges lessen and poor ole Ant will get sent to rehab with a massive fine. If he never works again he can live in the lap of luxury with his regrets , he is obviously a very different person to his tv persona , which is not at all unusual, but given the not to distant bad headlines he has probably just blown it. This is going to take heavy publicists to deal with this one !

A blip - he nearly killed a 3 Year-old.

[reece(:]

Isn't BGT starting soon

[Jack_]

Isn't BGT starting soon

Yeah, 14th April

BGT's probably the easiest show to cut them out of tbh, they could run the auditions without the stage-side cutaways and then I'd expect they'd get Stephen Mulhern to host the semi-finals/final

It's the rest of Takeaway that's the immediate problem, the millions wasted on the series finale at Universal :skull:

[TwentyOneThrones]

BREAKING

I'm A TiBB Member Host spotted urinating on S1 & S2 Cast Members because they didn't want to return!

The Metropolitan Police have spoken saying they are 'Absolutely disgusted and (we) are not treating this as an accidental crime."

We have contacted ITV for their say on the matter.

[Jordan.]

Dec and Holly is COMING

[Mitchell]

Heres what my great aunt has to say ...



xxxxxxxx

Get your great aunt in the jungle please

[Jack_]

Dec and Holly is COMING

:joker: :joker:

Honestly though there is another way of looking at this and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out because this is a pretty difficult position for ITV

IF it transpires that he failed the breathalyser because of the remnants of a St Patrick's night out, that plays a lot better than 'he had a few cans before taking his mum and dog for a spin'. If the girl is okay (I think she went to hospital for a checkup) AND no charges are brought against him (for whatever reason) is it really beyond the realms of possibility this becomes water under the bridge? People in the public eye have a way of getting away with these things

My prediction is Takeaway is pulled, BGT runs without them, he checks back into rehab and then they return for IAC again

[TwentyOneThrones]

Heres what my great aunt has to say ...



xxxxxxxx

Oh that was your great aunt lmao

[Jack_]

ALSO Suzuki sponsor the show and they do loads of ads for them :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull:

that'll be pulled first

[Wizard.]

Unless he is physically detained in custody then Takeaway will continue as normal and he might make a public apology but let's be real ITV would never axe them.

[reece(:]

Poor Dec getting ha career stomped too.

[Jordan.]

Unless he is physically detained in custody then Takeaway will continue as normal and he might make a public apology but let's be real ITV would never axe them.

Wouldn't be surprised if they had Scarlett Moffatt being fired out of a cannon to win all the victims a week in Lanzarote.

[Headie]

All this discussion over shows being cancelled is just nonsense tbh, they'll be collecting their paychecks come the end of the month!

The victims to not press charges if they get a place on the plane?

[Greg!]

Apparetly he resisted arrest as well :skull:

I know he has a lot of problems and needs help, but I do not feel sorry for him at all. There is no excuse for drink driving, ever

[Saph]

id take drunk ant presenting IAC than scarlet and joel anyday

They should at least suspend him imo, although I honestly don't get why so many people commit the offence of drink driving, especially if you're a celebrity as you're dragging your name through the mud.

Scarlett and Joel would be great but TiBB would fume :joker:

Stephen Mulhern needs to leave TV but I can see him doing SNT.

Tbf out of the three I'd take Stephen Mulhern as he is actually a Presenter.:joker:

I want Cat Deeley to step in for him on all hosting duties while he is in rehab.

[Ant McPartlin arrested after 'drink drive crash'
The Saturday Night Takeaway presenter was said to have been involved in a collision with two other cars in west London.]


He needs a driver
from now on.

[Ammi]

...so, so good that no one was seriously hurt...but still awful for all obviously...


...it’s very sad to see someone ‘self destruct’ with any addiction...I don’t know what decisions Dec will make in terms of his career if Ant became ‘unemplyable’ while he gets well...and hopefully he will get well...whether he’ll look for another partner for the moment or whether he’ll ‘go solo’...or whether he’ll take a break himself...they have a very close friendship so I think his thoughts and focus atm will be on Ant’s well-being, not so much career stuff...

[Kazanne]

He obviously has some demons to deal with,maybe he wasn't as well as he thought,kinda feel for him and kinda don't ,he really is silly for drinking and driving,this could have been terrible for him had anyone been killed ,but he has had such a good career and it's a shame his addiction may cost him dearly.The press will also be relentless which wont help.

[Cherie]

I think Dec could go solo and continue his career, someone would give him his own show

SNTA has got very dull, and repetitive...and all the good segments have been axed, so all we get is dull singalongs, and boring members of the audience..it only gets 9 million viewers because of Ant and Dec, I can see him make a grovelling apology which will be accepted and things will carry on as usual

[chuff me dizzy]

I hope no one feels sorry for him or makes excuses for him ,he's a disgrace and should be treat like any other drunk driver

[Babayaro.]

No sympathies. What problems can he have with his £60million -

How ignorant

[Morgan.]

Apparetly he resisted arrest as well :skull:

I know he has a lot of problems and needs help, but I do not feel sorry for him at all. There is no excuse for drink driving, ever

HE did yes.

[Kazanne]

Lorraine Kelly and Dan Wooton fawning over him this morning,Lorraine saying "poor fella" , not one word about the little girl who was hurt other than her saying "HE will be devastated".

[AnnieK]

They don't appear to have charged him yet so I am thinking that he may have blown over at the roadside but been under on the test at the station. Never known anyone done for drink driving to be released without charge if they are over the limit at the station. Even if he was under the legal limit, I would imagine he will get done for either dangerous driving or driving without due care and attention if the accident was his fault. It will damage his reputation regardless but I would imagine he will come back from this.

His demons have not been sorted and so he should get help before he does something more reckless

[Beso]

Yes..jail the bulbous headed fool...ITV, cancel all shows featuring him....


Buy BB and replace all his ****ty shows with that.

[Strictly Jake]

I find it shocking how many people are willing to overlook this incident, just because it's ant from Ant and Dec. People are even wondering if Saturday night takeaway will still be on this week... I love their shows but I view this as I would to anyone else who had driven under the influence which possibly could have killed people and has injured people, the guy is an ill man yes, but he still needs to face the consequences of his actions. What he did was reckless and would be completely unforgivable if he had killed somebody even then I honestly think people out there would still be saying aww poor man we forgive him. People have a distorted view of the situation because of who he is and how popular the shows are. But remember if this had been a member of the public or even a celebrity who you don't like even with mental health and addiction problems you would still want justice to be done not them to be able to say sorry and then have them back on to prime time family tv on a Saturday night. I do think his career is now over

Sadly though we won't find out who actually is responsible for stealing the celebs in Saturday knight takeaway

[Jamie89]

I don't know, if he has £60 million I can't feel too bad for him not earning even more. If anything I'd say he's incredibly lucky, his addiction almost cost the life of a 3 year old girl. I do feel bad for him struggling with his demons but career wise I don't think he's really owed anything.

I think I remember reading years ago that Ant and Dec have some sort of insurance where if one of them is no longer part of the duo, the other receives a payout to cover future potential earnings. I'm not sure if it was only for injury or death though. I think Dec could probably have a career on his own (or with Cat :flutter: ) but I don't think it'd be at the same sort of level.

I get what you're saying, I don't think it's that people want to downplay what happened though, it's just that naturally people are also going to wonder about his career since he's in the public eye, rather than saying that because he's in the public eye what happened is ok. Part of this story is that he's Ant from Ant and Dec so there's going to be a curiosity about what might happen with that, as well as the actual incident itself.

I get what you are saying Jamie ,I didn't really mean it would cost him dearly moneywise,money doesn't always bring happiness,more on a personal level ,he's already lost his marriage and could maybe lose his career,but agree that the life of that young girl should be paramount, and he should be treated as any other offender.

[bots]

I wouldn't say he is a drunk driver, I never want to see him on my TV screen again. Maybe that's just me. If he goes to court and gets a conviction why does that have to affect his work. I could see it being an issue if he needed his car for work, but he doesn't. Plenty other entertainers have been caught speeding, drunk driving etc, and it has never affected their careers

I didn't know he'd lost his marriage (I don't really know a lot about him tbh). It sounds like with all his problems he could maybe do with staying out the public eye and just focus on himself, it might actually benefit him in the longterm, if he didn't have the added pressures of a career like his. So many of them seem to go down the route of drink/drugs I'd wonder if the career itself plays a part in that.

Yes I wonder this too Jamie,he was in rehab but I think he came out too soon.

He crashed his car into a tree last month...seperated from his mrs, who was then relieved of her position as a make up artist on sat take away while everyone fawns over the poor man.

He will probably be given a driving ban, and if not then he should seriously consider not driving again until he sorts his problem out.
I don’t see why he should be sacked either, as you say, I don’t understand why it would/should ruin his career.:shrug:

They were together for 20 odd years, so life couldnt have been that bad for each of them, and she is going to walk away with 20-30 million in divorce settlement, so it's not like she will be struggling. It may well have been part of the separation agreement that she left her job

[Morgan.]

I knew him and his wife seperated but I never knew he got her fired, nasty

I don’t think he got her fired - I’m sure producers decided it was best for her to go due to circumstances. She posted on episode 1 on social media to say how proud she was of the show and everyone behind it.

I cant find that out.
All reports just say she was given the boot because producers thought it would be 2 awkward for him if she was on set...:joker:...30 million..plus i would take my itv bosses to court for forcing me out the door...no wonder women are in uproar about innequality..it reeks of it in this case...

He's an addict who's been arrested for drink driving, he is the definition of a drunk driver.

At this point it's up to him whether his career ends or not.

If he’s not a drunk driver, then what is he?

[AnnieK]

Lol what Bots is saying is even though he is a drink driver he would not say he doesnt want to see him on tv again.

Plus at the moment he hasn't been charged so could possibly have blown below the legal limit at the station. The roadside tests are not as accurate so they can't charge on that reading. It may be it was shown as a positive test at the roadside but when they measure the alcohol to breath ratio it may have been below. So at the moment he is a suspected drink driver but as I said before I've never known anyone who has blown a positive test at the station be released while the investigate. Its normally a straight charge and a court date. I would imagine they are investigating his culpability for the accident.

[Amy Jade]

I don't feel sorry for him at all. Drink drivers should all go to prison and forced to go and pass a course where they see how utterly devastating their selfish actions can be on others and their families.

He's an arrogant, selfish dickhead.

They released him at 3am. I hope if he has blown positive that his celebrity status doesn't get him any preferential treatment.

Just read its his 3rd accident in 2 weeks . Jeez get him off the road immediately, is this just drink driving or drink and drug driving ? Throw the bloody book at him as he deserves it with his twatish behaviour.
Sod all the sob stories of how hard he works cos that does not make you exempt from the law.

No, what is ignorant, is to assume someone who has loads of money can have no problems purely because of their financial situation. And also, tell me where I was excusing what he did?

I'm grossed out by people defending him on twitter or even blaming others. He is an idiot. I get he has alcohol abuse issues and in general I do sympathise with anyone who struggles but at the end of the day he has had 3 accidents in his car in 2 weeks. He never learned from the first one and clearly though himself above the law and now it has turned out he has injured an innocent child.

He has tens of millions in the bank. He could get a chauffeur if he can't stop himself drinking but needs to get somewhere. He's a knob head whos too self involved with his own woes to care who else he hurts.

.. and please not more reality tv with basic ****** please.

[Brillopad]

No, what is ignorant, is to assume someone who has loads of money can have no problems purely because of their financial situation. And also, tell me where I was excusing what he did?

Some seem to have, I didn't mention your name did I. I haven't assumed anything really as someone with that sort of money can buy the best help for his problems that money can buy. Many are not in such a good position. He also appears to have a supportive family and friends so excuse me if I think his situation is much better than most others with such addictions.

I have little sympathy for his situation and do not support people wallowing in their problems like that if it means putting other people at risk. He is a grown man and if capable of still presenting TV shows he is capable of understanding the dangers of drink driving.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Probably all the drugs have impaired his judgement on drink driving?

[bots]

It's one thing to have a drink/drug problem, its another to drive while intoxicated, the two shouldn't be linked together in order to excuse the driving. The guy was an idiot and deserves a lengthy ban from driving if found guilty, but I still don't see why that should affect his job as a presenter

Yea pretty much exactly how I feel on this

Feel sorry for Dec really, he must be concerned for his friend first and foremost but also between a rock and a hard place about what to do with his career in the short term

Will be interesting to see what happens, they can cut them out of BGT easy as I said but Takeaway is the immediate issue. Millions spent on the finale, hundreds (some who won't yet know) expecting a holiday (I guess they could send them without doing the show), guest announcers/performers booked, segments filmed, a whole production crew out of a job, not ideal :shrug:

My preference would be for Dec to finish the series with Stephen, but he's always said he wouldn't do it without Ant so not sure I can see it happening

That's the only problem, but it only becomes an issue if the public perception is that he's committed a crime and shouldn't be on TV for the foreseeable full stop (in which case all of the prerecorded segments on Takeaway are screwed too)

If people are forgiving, then running their stage-side cutaways is fine and I imagine Stephen gets the live show gig. So long as he still does More Talent I'd be content with that

[Tozzie]

Drink driving was very wrong and very foolish. Ant seems on self destruct and while I am really sorry for the injured of the accident I also can't help but feel sorry for Ant because he clearly is struggling to beat his demons and they will most likely end up killing him, probably moreso now because with alcoholics when things go wrong they usually immediately turn the thing that has caused all their problems in the first place, the bottle.
Ant and Dec have been a welcome duo in my home on my TV screen for many years and made me laugh so much, they truly do have a brilliant rapport with each other and it's a crying shame that because Ants career will more than likely end Declans might not survive too. If I were Dec I would be furious with Ant but they are best friends and I'm guessing he will forgive him and support him like he always has done.
RIP to the comedic duo, IAC will never been the same again for me personally.
I do wonder what events triggered off Ants problems and I really hope that he can get to the bottom of it and get well again.

[Firewire]

Oaf from the Sun says Ant will be out of action for the rest of the year

Not sure how he knows that but it'll be interesting to see what happens with BGT lives and I'm a Celeb if it's the case?

[Jack_]

That's probably for the best really.

Stephen to host the lives (and More Talent still plz) and then I seriously hope they rest I'm a Celebrity - it desperately needs it. And I know most people on here don't agree, but they ARE that show, without them the majority of viewers would realise what a repetitive and tired format it is, and thus I think it would be hugely damaging to the brand to run it without them at the helm. Granted the 'big return' in 2019 would be ratings gold but at the expense of exposing the show for what it really is? Too big a risk surely.

also it makes me sick how people like Dan and the rest of the press have clearly been waiting for a story like this for years :bored: if Ant stands any chance of recovering properly this time the paps need to completely leave him alone

I think it says a lot for Ant’s current mental state that he’d put his whole career at risk like this. I mean, it’s an awful thing for anybody to do, but when it’s someone in the public eye, I think there must be another level to it.

I hope they give BGT to Dermot or Stephen I won't be happy to be looking at Emma on yet another show or Holly for that matter, in some ways it would be good if Dec took it forward on his own with a co-host although I think he is too loyal to do that

On a serious note,I hope he gets the help he needs and not rush back to TV and I hope the press will leave him alone(but I doubt it) but if he was over the limit he should be treated like any other person would.

[user104658]

He had quite clear problems ages ago and he was clearly rushed back onto the telly before he had even begun to tackle those issues. It's all very well to say that "he wanted to" but in my opinion, his agent / ITV / the bosses of those individual shows have a lot to answer for. They should have been making sure that he got himself better, properly, before being back on TV.

Hopefully now he'll give himself - and will be given by others - a chance to properly focus on his mental health.

Even if it's just that he was looking tired and stressed, that's not exactly a good thing if it's someone with known addiction problems.

Agree Kaz. Everyone should be treated the same when caught drinking and driving. I would expect the royal family to be held to account if selfish enough to drive when they have been drinking. Every adult is aware of the risks has no-one has right to take such risks with other peoples' lives.

Yeah a lot of condemnation for him around the internet but I do feel pity for him. Alcoholism is a long hard road and he might feasibly never recover himself or his career though in his favour he can afford and will get the very best care.

He's been an addict for about 3 years and his stint in rehab seems to have done nothing to help him fight his addictions (alcohol abuse not just pain meds).

That, to me, is a deep rooted problem that is going to take time to solve.

It's also now took its toll on the rest of his life, his marriage is ending and now, due to this, it's starting to affect his career, and possibly his criminal record.

So... a deep rooted issue that clearly needs fixing.

My fear is they'll rest Takeaway again when it's easily their best show, but it'd make a lot more sense to me for them to quit BGT. They're far less synonymous with that and more replaceable than on the other two.

Me n the other half point it out nightly when we watch.:shrug:

Nightly? Didn't the show end months ago? :laugh:

I hardly think two grown men having a tiff constitutes bullying but there we are.

It does constitute bullying though when ones the boss and the others an employee......

[Marsh.]

Ant's not his boss though.

[Brillopad]

And... you know him. And his history of being a bully boy... oh wait.

She's a freelance make up artist, she hasn't been sacked from anything. I'm sure she wouldn't want to work with the man she's currently divorcing.

Doesn’t that work both ways as you seem to think you know his history. Ant is also unlikely to want to work with the woman he is currently divorcing so why should it be clear to anyone he had nothing to do with her leaving. You know no better than anyone else.

[Jack_]

I can judge...he bullys jo swash for starters.

Oh you're not one of them are you, the press had a field day with this nonsense last year

Ant, Dec and Joe have been friends for almost a decade and regularly socialise and play golf outside of filming in Australia. The ribbing of each other on Extra Camp is their shtick, it's not new, they've been doing it for years and more to the point Joe Swash's entire purpose on that show is to be the butt of ALL the jokes, not just Ant's

[Marsh.]

Doesn’t that work both ways as you seem to think you know his history.

No I don't. I'm commenting on the facts we do know, not the ones we don't.

Him sacking his wife is pure speculation, not fact.

You know no better than anyone else.

I haven't claimed to. Unlike some, I'm commenting on what we do know, not guesswork on stuff we don't.

[Kazanne]

I wonder if they have both been working too much,I mean there is SNTA,BGT and IMCGMOH,that's quite a workload for anyone, plus other presenting they do, it has obviously put a strain on him with that and his marriage break up,he must be in a darkplace,he was very lucky no one was killed,he would never have forgiven himself for that,so hope the press leave him be,and let him get on with his therapy ,and it should take however long it takes and him not being pushed to work too soon,but as I said he should still be charged if he was drinking and driving he is at the end of the day just one of us.

[Beso]

Ant's not his boss though.

He is his senior in a place of work..deny that..

Which makes it bullying in the workplace, which a lot of viewers have spotted(apart from you apparantly) and complained about.

[Marsh.]

He is his senior in a place of work..deny that..


I will deny that because it's false.

Joe is a co-presenter on the companion show.

Im using it as an example of his bullying nature, but yeah, sometimes the snarl on ants face as he fires off his latest volley of abuse at joe is uncomfortable for me to watch.

[Beso]

I will deny that because it's false.

Joe is a co-presenter on the companion show.

You are just picking stupid holes now...ive made my point and stand by it.

[Marsh.]

Im using it as an example of his bullying nature, but yeah, sometimes the snarl on ants face as he fires off his latest volley of abuse at joe is uncomfortable for me to watch.

And this only concerned you in 2017 and not the other 10 years they appeared on the show together, doing the exact same thing?

You didn't just latch onto it because it came after he'd been in the papers for going to rehab so overanalysed everything he did to try and find fault despite him acting no differently to any other series?

[Marsh.]

You are just picking stupid holes now...ive made my point and stand by it.

I'm not picking any holes. You're the one fabricating an employer/employee relationship where there isn't one and implying there's bullying, the only proof of which is one comment not unlike the 100s of others in the DECADE they have worked together.

[pontyboi]

He jumped back into his career way to soon after rehab on top of that he has his divorce and when watching saturday night takeaway when he really hurt his arm I thought this dudes gonna slip again. The British public love him, his career isn't over but he needs a year off. Seriously he presents 3 shows a year....excpect a serious law suit from the victims though which isn't going to help.

[Jack_]

Im using it as an example of his bullying nature, but yeah, sometimes the snarl on ants face as he fires off his latest volley of abuse at joe is uncomfortable for me to watch.

And that's because you are misunderstanding and misconstruing the relationship that they have and the set up of Extra Camp which is that Joe is the butt of everyone's jokes. Watching someone interact with another for a couple of minutes a night on a highly rehearsed and planned television show does not give you proof that they are a bully.

[Jack_]

It's like when people go 'God isn't Stephen Mulhern arrogant and up himself on Saturday Night Takeaway'...when that is literally the gag :facepalm:

[Tozzie]

I find it shocking how many people are willing to overlook this incident, just because it's ant from Ant and Dec. People are even wondering if Saturday night takeaway will still be on this week... I love their shows but I view this as I would to anyone else who had driven under the influence which possibly could have killed people and has injured people, the guy is an ill man yes, but he still needs to face the consequences of his actions. What he did was reckless and would be completely unforgivable if he had killed somebody even then I honestly think people out there would still be saying aww poor man we forgive him. People have a distorted view of the situation because of who he is and how popular the shows are. But remember if this had been a member of the public or even a celebrity who you don't like even with mental health and addiction problems you would still want justice to be done not them to be able to say sorry and then have them back on to prime time family tv on a Saturday night. I do think his career is now over

Sadly though we won't find out who actually is responsible for stealing the celebs in Saturday knight takeaway

I don't think anyone thinks he should get away with what he has done, if he is found guilty of drink driving or reckless driving he should get the punishment that any joe bloggs would get. He made a huge, downright foolish mistake and he will probably lose his career over it as well as the punishment served for the crime he committed. I wouldn't think he will get away with it because of who he is. I just think some people, myself included try to empathise because of the issues he has like addiction to alcohol and whatever else he has, some people still feel human compassion. We are hearing about this because of who he is , he is in the public eye and in the past he has won over the hearts of a lot of people and it's hard for people who loved him to see his decline. I sincerely hope he can beat his demons. He did the crime, he will be paying for the crime already before even any sentence I am sure.

[Ashley.]

No sympathies. What problems can he have with his £60million - just a selfish twat wallowing in his problems. He could have killed people. No excuses ever.

My thoughts exactly when I first heard the news. Wallow all he likes but he shouldn't be putting other people in danger as a result.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, £60 million in the bank makes you immune to any and all problems and addictions. :umm2: Jfc

[Beso]

And this only concerned you in 2017 and not the other 10 years they appeared on the show together, doing the exact same thing?

You didn't just latch onto it because it came after he'd been in the papers for going to rehab so overanalysed everything he did to try and find fault despite him acting no differently to any other series?

I dont read papers and nothing im associated with would lead me to that story so no, sorry.

I doubt it matters when a bully starts to bully someone to the bully...the bullied may have another view on it though.

[Brillopad]

Yeah, £60 million in the bank makes you immune to any and all problems and addictions. :umm2: Jfc

Not immune - but it certainly helps big time when it comes to getting the right help - the best money can buy.

Most in his situation don’t have that - they have to manage with a service that cannot cope Or nothing at all.

You literally said "what problems can he have".

Disgusting comment.

You are wrong jack, im not some daft idiot who doesnt know how tv shows work.:nono:

To me, i can see a deeper rooted problem with them 2...so joe shuts his mouth as he knows how it went for ants ex mrs.
