Are Ant and Dec reuniting next month as he goes back to work on Britain's Got Talent?

Ant McPartlin will reportedly reunite with presenting partner Declan Donnelly for the new series of Britain’s Got Talent.

The 43-year-old presenter has taken an eight month break from the public eye following a drink driving incident earlier this year and a stint in rehab.

He missed out on the most recent series of I’m A Celebrity, which saw him replaced by Holly Willoughby alongside Donnelly, but is now said to be ready to go back to work.

“Ant has completed his recovery and ITV has decided he is ready to be back at work for Britain’s Got Talent filming, which starts next month,” a source told The Sun. “It’s been an incredibly difficult two-year period but he has been entirely focused on turning his life around in order to return to work.

“ITV is very excited about Ant and Dec being reunited – but Ant’s recovery has been everyone’s priority.”

Standard Online has contacted representatives for McPartlin and ITV for comment.

It is thought that McPartlin will begin filming auditions for Britain's Got Talent on January 18 with Donnelly and co-presenter Stephen Mulhern, before hosting the live shows later in the year. He is also expected to return to the jungle for the 2019 edition of I’m A Celebrity, but Saturday Night Takeaway, is still on hiatus in order to give McPartlin more time for recovery.

Following McPartlin’s drink driving conviction back in March, Donnelly was forced to present this year’s Saturday Night Takeaway final alone, with the help of guest presenters Mulhern and Scarlett Moffatt.
