Ant McPartlin has wished his BFF and telly co-host Declan Donnelly a happy birthday, as he continues to recover following his drink-driving arrest.
The TV presenter took to their joint Twitter account on Tuesday morning to wish Dec a happy 43rd birthday.
Posting a hilarious snap of Dec wearing a flamenco dress, Ant wrote, “Happy Birthday from the big one to the little one!” alongside a laughing emoji.
Happy Birthday from the big one to the little one!

The news comes just days after the star confirmed that he’s six months sober, after completing a stint in rehab earlier this year following his drink-driving arrest.
The Newcastle native was pictured with his friend Simon Hargreaves, who gushed about how well Ant is doing.
Simon wrote: “Long overdue catch up with my buddy of 20+ years for lunch this week. 6 months sober, annoyingly healthy looking…”
Long overdue catch up with my buddy of 20+ years for lunch this week. 6 months sober, annoyingly healthy looking, and happier than I’ve seen him in years. Immensely proud of this lad for his strength and determination to face up to his issues and get help. @antanddec pic.twitter.com/iBZdESbtUS

“And happier than I’ve seen him in years. Immensely proud of this lad for his strength and determination to face up to his issues and get help.”
Ant replied to his pal: “Thanks pal. Really appreciate it. Lovely seeing you too… It really was long overdue. #weloveagoodlunch… Hope you’re using your Jcrew tote bag!”
The telly star is taking an extended break from all of his television commitments, and Holly Willoughby has already been confirmed as his replacement on the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
