Ant McPartlin’s wife Anne-Marie was pictured looking lovely in a loose-fitting dress on Wednesday as she prepared to jet off on holiday.
The beaming couple wore matching knitwear as they arrived at Heathrow airport with luggage in hand – it’s not clear where they were heading.
Ant wore a comfortable T-shirt with a grey knit worn over the top and practical loose fitting trousers for his flight.
Meanwhile, the mother-of-two teenage daughters wore a cream cardigan over her black dress and had her blonde locks cut into a short bob.
It’s the first time they have been seen together publicly for a while because Ant, 47, has been busy filming I’m A Celebrity in Australia, while Anne-Marie, 45, remained at home.
Declan Donnelly brought along his wife Ali Astall with him to Australia but Ant was seen eating solo meals and working out throughout the trip.
Ant and Anne were last pictured together in November on a dog walk.
The couple tied the knot in 2021 and became stepfather to her two daughters Daisy and Poppy, 13.
He split from his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong in 2018 after 12 years of marriage, and she has recently split from her partner James Green.
Lisa and Ant finalised their £62million divorce in April.
The make-up artist, 46, split from her most recent partner, James, 40, in August after he surprisingly ended their romance and moved out of her £4.5m London home while she was working in Manchester.
Insiders close to the former couple have told MailOnline their relationship turned toxic over money, as Lisa claims she loaned him cash during their time together back, but he’s resisting all approaches.
Lisa and James dated for three years and the electrician was her most serious relationship since her high-profile divorce from husband Ant McPartlin, in which she received a reported £31m payout.
James was working for a company installing electric doors when they met, having recently moved out of the £450,000 family home he shared with ex-wife Kirsty in Winchester, Hampshire.
But James shocked Lisa by breaking up with her totally unannounced and moved his belongings out of her home when she was away.
A source told MailOnline at the time: ‘I don’t really know what has gone wrong. The two of them were only on a swanky holiday together in the Caribbean or somewhere about eight weeks ago.
‘He was with her one day, and he just wasn’t with her the next day. There was no inkling that anything was wrong.’
Despite the surprise split, friends told how the pair were initially on amicable terms but that is no longer the case, mainly in part to Lisa’s demands for her money back.
A friend of James said: ‘When Lisa gave him that money, he thought it was in good grace – he didn’t see it as a loan with strict conditions to pay it back by a certain time.
‘It’s all got rather messy and Lisa threatening him with legal action is obviously concerning given her financial power.’
James has been approached for comment.
Lisa is currently working on the latest series of BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing in her role as the show’s head makeup artist.
She regularly posts pictures from behind the scenes of the show, as well as her beloved dog Harley, whom she shares with ex-husband Ant.
Lisa and Ant’s marriage officially ended in October 2018 when she was granted a decree nisi after he admitted adultery.
But the pair continued finalising their financial settlement while reportedly disagreeing over custody arrangements for Labrador Hurley.
Ant now lives in a £6m mansion in Wimbledon, south west London with new wife Anne-Marie, his former personal assistant, who he married in a church ceremony in August 2021 in Heckfield, Hampshire.
Lisa was said to have indicated her disapproval of the relationship by liking a fan’s tweet which said it was ‘a major girl code breach’ to ‘start shacking up with your wife’s friend’.
Lisa first met Ant on a Smash Hits tour in Newcastle in 1994 when she was in a band called Deuce which performed alongside him and partner Dec who were reaching new TV and music heights as PJ & Duncan following their stint on Byker Grove.
They were together for over ten years before Ant proposed to her on holiday in Dubai in 2005, and they married at a country house hotel in Buckinghamshire in July 2006 with Dec as Ant’s best man.
