Piers Morgan on ‘tormented’ Ant McPartlin: ‘He’s not the guy I know – he’s changed’

The GMB host worked alongside Ant on Britain's Got Talent for years

Piers Morgan has revealed that Ant McPartlin is “not the guy I know”, following the presenter’s shock drink driving arrest.

The TV star, who is one half of popular presenting duo Ant & Dec, was arrested on Sunday afternoon on suspicion of drink-driving after he crashed into another car in Richmond, South London.

Ant has since announced his plans to withdraw from all TV commitments, as he returns to rehab to seek treatment.

Speaking about Ant on Good Morning Britain, Piers shared his concern for the presenter, who he worked alongside on Britain’s Got Talent for a number of years.

“He’s definitely changed, no question,” Piers said.

Discussing Ant’s split from wife Lisa Armstrong, Piers continued, “Lisa does my make up on Life Stories, she’s a delightful person. I never would have thought he would do that [get divorced] for example, let alone this.”

“This Ant McPartlin is not the guy I know. His life is faltering and tormented for some reason,” he said.

As for what’s next for Ant, Piers stressed, “I’d like to see him off TV for a long time as he came back too soon [after his first stint in rehab].”

Speaking about Ant’s telly partner Declan Donnelly, Piers added, “I feel for Dec, by default, his career reaches the buffer as they’re a double act.”
