Ant McPartlin: ‘I was incredibly angry’ Declan Donnelly speaks out on pal's troubled time

The presenter said: “You know the last few years have been quite emotional, hard, they have been testing I would say in terms of how strong your love is and how strong your friendship is.

Dec added: “It has been a tough couple of years and it has tested the bond we have shared since we were 13 years old. I was incredibly angry at the start, so angry.”

The father-of-one went on to say he was disappointed that Ant didn’t reach out to him about his struggles at the time.

He said: “I was disappointed that he didn’t ever come to me and say, ‘I am struggling, I need you’ because that is what I would do if the shoe was on the other foot.
