Ant had been in rehab since June, after he announced his addiction to prescription drugs and depression with fans.

He has been battling his condition for two years after an operation on his knee went wrong in 2014, leaving him in constant pain, and amid fertility struggles with his wife Lisa.

Following the surgery, Ant began taking the opioid painkiller Tramadol and became addicted.

He recently revealed he had come close to death at the worst of his condition, which saw him rushed to hospital after a drugs and booze binge, causing him to hallucinate at 5am.

However for the first time in three years he is now thought to be clean of all drugs, and has lost a stone since being admitted into rehab.

The beloved TV presenter is expected to return to screens in November, when he will host the next installment of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

Lisa has openly stood by her husband during his rehab stint, as the first to thank fans for their support following the announcement in June. 

The funnyman had reportedly been up north to spend some much-needed quality time with his family, drawing strength from his Geordie roots.

His addiction to prescribed drug Tramadol spiraled out of control after he initially suffered a knee injury two years ago.

Ant, however, is now in recovery with help from his wife, following hints his marriage with Lisa was on the rocks in a recent interview with The Sun on Sunday.

The TV king confessed he had put the love of his life ‘through hell with mood swings and depression’.

Describing the impact his addiction had on his marriage, he said: ‘I’m very sorry about the effect it has on partners. This kind of stuff puts a strain on any marriage.

‘In hindsight, I should have mentioned it earlier but you’re embarrassed about it,’

Their inability to conceive waged war against the lovebirds and became a contributing factor to Ant’s depression.

Recently, Ant reportedly made the decision to move his mother into his martial home when his wife Lisa returned to work long hours as a make-up artist on Strictly Come Dancing.

The hit BBC dancing program will return to the nation’s small screens in the autumn.
