to think the Sun must have something big on Ant from Ant and Dec?

[RebeccaWrongDaily]

He's sold his story to them (with no need to do so financially) and now the daily heil is now full of gossip about his wife not being around for his release from rehab. I reckon they've got something they're about to spill imminently and his poor wife has just been tipped off.

Poor Lisa.

Good news, glad she's managed it

Isn't Lisa quite a senior make up artist? If that's what they're called still. Doesn't she work on Strictly? (unless I'm confusing her with someone else).

My point being she has her own career and responsibilities. However much she may love to drop everything & be with her husband, maybe she can't just now. Not if she wants to be taken seriously in her field again anytime soon.

Why does there always have to be something more? I'm also inclined to think that Ant has given The Sun an interview to stop them just making their own details up.

Has the Sun article actually revealed anything we didn't already know?

Isn't this just a big hoo-hah, about not very much?

Wasn't it The Sun that forced Stephen Gateley to come out against his will?

Ugh. No matter the problems he has or his family, I'm sure being blackmailed by the Sun doesn't help. Vile rag.

And Will Young Keira

The article in the Fail today is really barrel scraping. I know a couple of women that are crew on Strictly and it's already full on for hair and make up doing all the promo pre-season work. This isn't a show that just starts in September, there's loads of preparation needed.

My point being as Lisa is the Senior MA she's likely swamped and that's why Ant's mum has come to stay. Some people just do that for their kids right?

Prescription painkillers are responsible for an awful lot of heroin addicts from what see at our local shelter. Here in the US the doctors prescribe too much. Then patients get addicted. Once they are cut off they look at heroin because it's cheaper than coke.

His wife has been through hell and back. Poor woman. Of course he has probably done all sorts of stupid stuff while taking drugs.

You clearly need to find one you have a disgusting attitude.

I think Ant and Dec are fabulous at what they do and I wish them well.

Well Ant and Dec have had a good run over the years so The Sun has to do what they do best and kick them down.

I feel sorry for Ant, and his wife. Hope everything works out for them both.

Exactly glitter can't be too successful and bring people too much viewing pleasure before the British press finds the dirt to give you a good shoeing.

Oh heavens - I never read Daily Mail articles, but have just had a look at this one about Ant's mum moving in & Lisa's absence. It's horrific! Are they all like that?

How very dare a woman have a full-on, responsible job when she has a husband at home? As Strictly doesn't air for another couple of weeks, of course she could just pull out of the whole preparation for the series! After all they only need make up & hair on a Saturday night don't they?! Of course there's no other work required .

Bloody hell!

Wouldn't surprise me one bit - I've never bought Ant and Dec's cheeky-chappie family man personas.

This

Not going to comment on Ant it's his business. But I have a family member who is a pharmacist and they have spoken about the epidemic that is codeine addiction. They have told me they can see the physical decline in people's appearance as the addiction takes hold and there really is nothing they can do except give out the usual warnings and sell more otc.
I can't take codeine based drugs as it gives me a secondary headache. I'm glad the posters here have got off the stuff it's really easy to become addicted even after short term use.

God some Nasty spiteful people here. Ffs this is someone's like and marriage. Fuck off mumsnet and go read these vile rags if that's your attitude.

Yeuk

it's crazy isn't it? Can we have / do we have any openly gay boybanders who are gay when they become famous?

Or is that still taboo?

I really thought 'society' had become more accepting and progressive, and that Ant and Dec might be 'big enough' (and there's safety in numbers eh?) to ride out pretty much any storm, sex/drugs/rock and roll wise.

@DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen and @LogicalPsycho so good for you. Opiate addiction is dreadful and where I live is currently in the middle of a horribly fatal Fentynal crisis. It's heartbreaking. Thank goodness you could recover! I have seen a lot of addiction and addicts are brighter weak nor bad. The pharmaceutical companies on the other hand...

Santa Catherine Zeta Jones got shit off the tabloids when she took some time out and went on a short holiday when Michael Douglas had throat cancer.

He was at home with care and likely she needed some time out from the stress of it.

The sun seems like a poor choice for any exclusive so I'd agree they were going to break the story with or without him, so makes sense he wanted to get his side across. Why the sun though, surely a way round that would be to give your own story to a rival paper? Mind you someone in the throws of addiction is unlikely to be thinking clearly.

There may be more to it but unless it's anything horrific thats in the public interest then it's none of our business.

Ant's wife is probably going to stay somewhere so she can come and go to her job every day without being followed, strictly might not have started yet but they'll be filming all the promos etc.

They seem a likeable harmless pair of guys. But the speculation on this thread. But I'm quite a speculator myself but these two seem nice and genuine.

I hope he's better for I'm a Celeb, they are great on that!

I do think that being gay is still discouraged when in a boyband...i know there is constant gossip about all of the members of 1 Direction (if you read Blind Gossip, at least 3 of them are gay). That may or may not be true but I am fairly sure at least one of them is but they just can't come out very sad in this day really.
