Guests include Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, 50, and Ant’s I’m a Celebrity stand-in Holly Willoughby, 40.

Her This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield, 59, and  Saturday Night Takeaway pal Stephen Mulhern, 44, will also be among the 100 invited friends and family. 

 Ant’s TV partner Declan Donnelly, 45 — who was  Best Man at his first wedding — will also be there. But there is no place for BGT judge Simon Cowell, 61 — or Ant’s beloved dogs Hurley, Milo and Bumble.

Anne-Marie’s two teenage daughters and niece will be among the bridesmaids.

Yesterday, final preparations were being made ahead of today’s 1pm nuptials in Hampshire. A  team of ten florists set about dressing the church inside and out.

The flowers included hydrangeas, sweetpeas and purple and pink roses. 

A floral archway will form the centrepiece at the entrance to the church.

Barriers were erected along the route to the church while security guards manned the gatehouse to the nearby Georgian estate which will host the wedding breakfast.

Local resident Janice Collete said: “As soon as people heard there were barriers going up at the church, we sort of guessed that it was going to be a big wedding.

“I am sure many people will come out to see and wish them the best.”

Anne-Marie, 43, was there as Ant battled a prescription drug problem following complications with knee surgery

Generous Ant, 45, has given guests a cash budget for outfits and is paying for them to stay at the £1,000-a-night venue.

He has told hotel bosses to send the spa bill to his £5,000-a-night honeymoon suite.

A source said: “This is going to be an incredibly special moment for both of them.

“Ant regards Anne-Marie as his rock. She has been by his side throughout his difficulties in recent years.” We exclusively told in January how divorcee Ant popped the question to his ex-personal assistant on Christmas Eve with a ring he designed himself.

Anne-Marie, 43,  was there as Ant battled a prescription drug problem following complications with knee surgery.

They grew close after his drink-drive arrest in March 2018 and the star fought back against his demons with her support.

Ant’s 11-year marriage to ex-wife Lisa Armstrong, 44, formally ended last year after they split in 2018.
