Ant’s social media activity comes after his divorce from ex wife Lisa Armstrong was finalised last month, leaving him free to marry Anne-Marie Corbett.
The former couple were married for 12-years and together for over two decades.
The exes split in January 2018 after the presenter’s highly documented battle with painkillers and alcohol.

He has since been seeing his ‘rock’ and former PA Anne-Marie, with a source telling The Sun: ‘It’s been an extremely difficult road with a lot of heartache and unpleasantness, but it’s finally done. It’s over.
‘Ant’s been desperate to start the next chapter of his life and at least now he and Anne-Marie can plan for the future. It won’t be long before they are married.’
Saturday Night Takeaway host Ant was reported to have handed over £31 million to Lisa, including their £5 million home in West London, after an ‘eight-hour negotiation’.
