“It’s actually quite nice for a change to have Ant and Dec as my warm-up. I’ve not told them that yet, but now they’ll now.”
The coronvavirus pandemic has forced channels to halt production on TV’s biggest shows.
Ant lives and with his girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett in a £6million love-nest.
The Britain’s Got Talent star, 43, bought the seven-bed property a year ago and has been turning into their dream home.
Anne-Marie, also 43 — the former PA to Ant and his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong — moved in with her two children from her previous marriage.
A source said: “The property is perfect for them. It has everything they want and marks an important milestone in their relationship together.
“It’s close to parks and open spaces to walk labrador Hurley and is in a lovely area for the children.

“It’s not been easy to get here but they both view this house as a new start. It’s had lot of work done since they bought it and is now ready for them to move in to next month.”
The gated property is set back from the road and shielded by trees. It has five reception rooms, a cinema room and large office space.
The open-plan kitchen has twin ovens and leads into a beautiful dining room and a conservatory-style orangery overlooking the gardens.
Their master bedroom comes complete with walk-in wardrobe and leads into a large en-suite with a huge free-standing bath.
Ant and ex Lisa, 42, still own a £6million pad in West London.
She lives there and is said to have been offered it by Ant as part of any future divorce settlement.
They must also come to an agreement over custody of Hurley.
