How much is Ant McPartlin worth?
ANT MCPARTLIN and comedy partner Dec Donnelly are TV legends with over 30 years of experience.
Presenting shows like Britain’s Got Talent and I’m a Celebrity….Get Me Out Of Here! means they have raked in the big bucks but how much is that?
How much is Ant McPartlin worth?
Ant’s net worth is estimated to be over £60 million, mirroring that of his comedy partner.
He previously lost large sums of money to drink-drive shame which lost him £1.6million in 2018 and his divorce settlement of £31 million to ex-wife Lisa Armstrong.
However, he and Dec signed a three-year deal with ITV to the tune of £40million.
If the pair decide to extend beyond the deal this could even go up to £50million.
This is a long way from Byker Grove where they reportedly earned £100 a day.

Children’s TV and game shows
In 1994 the pair began presenting children’s show Gimme 5 on CITV which ran for two seasons.
This was clearly not the end though as they began a new show called The Ant & Dec show the following year.
The sketch show won them two BAFTA awards and an in-store VHS release of the best bits.
Ant and Dec became Saturday morning favourites while presenting SMTV Live in 1997, before they eventually branched out into game shows such as Friends Like These, PokerFace and Push the Button.
They left children’s TV for good in 2001.
Long-lasting presenters
Friends Like These was their first primetime slot and solidified their position as presenters.
They took off on ITV’s Pop Idol but had to leave SMTV behind because of the success.
However Pop Idol was replaced by the X Factor in 2004 meaning they had to move on to something new.
That opportunity came for ITV’s 50th anniversary to present Ant & Dec’s Gameshow Marathon which was a variety of game shows all of which were presented by the pair.
In 2002 they began presenting Saturday Night Takeaway, which they created themselves, it took a while to build but 18 seasons on the show is still going strong.
That year also saw the rise of I’m A Celebrity…. Get Me Out Of Here! with the highest ratings peaking in 2004.
Both shows are still much loved and renewed each year with the duo at the helm.
Completing the big trio of shows, the pair began presenting Britain’s Got Talent in 2007.
Since then they have done smaller shows around these key projects such as Ant and Dec’s DNA Journey which revealed they had an ancestral connection.
The pair also presented The Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration and some short lived game shows.
Who is Ant’s wife Anne-Marie Corbett?
After divorcing Lisa Armstrong, 43, Ant was then seen with his new girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett in March 2018 when she sent him off to work with a packed lunch.
The pair then married August 7, 2021 and Anne-Marie even flew out to Australia for a spell while Ant was filming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2019.
Anne-Marie had worked as Ant’s personal assistant in 2017.
They do not have any children together but Anne-Marie has two children from her previous marriage.
