Ant McPartlin spotted out and about for first time since entering rehab

Ant McPartlin has been spotted enjoying days out from his rehab centre.

In pictures posted on The Sun Online, the presenter gives a thumbs up – hopefully an indication that his recovery is going well.

This is the first time the Geordie fave has been seen since he admitted his struggle with alcohol and substance abuse – he developed an addiction to painkillers following a knee operation.

Th tabloid reports that he has enjoyed walks to the park and trips to the shops after a month of treatment.

An apparent source told them: “He’s doing very well considering everything he’s been through and is happy at being allowed to leave the centre with one of the staff.

“He is in good spirits and on the road to recovery.”
Good news!

It is anticipated that the I’m A Celeb host will complete a three-month stint in rehab, as originally planned.

The Sun claims he has received no visitors in his time there so far – including wife Lisa Armstrong and best pal Dec Donnelly.

“Ant has had no visitors — not even Lisa or Dec.

“It was judged best that he battled through this on his own.

“It has been very tough for him, but he really wants to get better and promised to do whatever that takes.

“There is still a way to go, but he is making real progress.”

We’re sure the knowledge all his fans are rooting for him will help!
