Dec Donnelly Pokes Fun At Wedding Ring Drama On Saturday Night Takeaway

In case you missed it, last week’s episode of Ant And Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway was hit with a whole load of drama when eagle-eyed viewers noticed that newlywed Declan Donnelly wasn’t wearing his wedding ring.

Obviously it didn’t take long for the split speculation to start and Dec was forced to address the rumours just days later.

Now the Geordie star has poked fun at the drama surrounding his ring, with last night’s episode of the show kicking off with Dec purposefully placing his ring on his finger before mocking the newspaper headlines in a Coronation Street sketch.

The skit featured actor Jack P. Shepherd sitting in the Rovers pub reading a newspaper with the headline: “Why was Dec not wearing his wedding ring?”

Way to take it in your stride, Dec.

Dec married his manager Ali Astall last August and explained to The Mirror last week: “I didn’t realise until afterwards when someone said there’s a bit of a thing online.

"I left it upstairs in the dressing room - I didn’t think anyone would notice. It’s only a tiny little thing!

"There’s no drama - thank God. there’s nothing more sinister in it.”

Ant added that he’d done a similar thing in the past, quipping: “It happened to me once on I’m A Celeb - everyone was going: ‘Oh my God! What’s going on?’”

Cor, talk about making a mountain out of a molehill, eh?
