I’m A Celebrity’s Ant McPartlin meets up with best mate Declan Donnelly for a kickabout near their homes in London
The Geordie duo looked like they needed to work on their control as the ball bounced into the middle of the road
ANT McPartlin and best pal Declan Donnelly had a Christmas kickabout today outside the former's West London home.
Fresh from their time in Australia hosting I'm A Celebrity, the pair looked dapper as they punted the ball on a grass verge before climbing into a waiting people carrier.
Dec was left waiting on his own for a few minutes as Ant potted around in his plush home.
The Geordie funnyman who had ITV viewers in stitches with his constant quips about Dennis Wise's height in the jungle, wore a grey coat, jeans, navy jumper and brown brogues for their outing.
When Ant finally emerged he was in a a dark jacket, red check shirts, dark jeans and trainers.
The duo, who are big Newcastle United fans, need to work on their ball control as the starred Champion's League ball ended up rolling into the road.
While Ant and Dec's relationship is as strong as ever following Ant's battle with painkiller addiction, the troubled star's marriage to wife Lisa is reportedly hanging by a thread.
She is said to be considering calling in lawyers, with a source revealing: “She has told several friends the marriage is over.”
Ant's stint hosting I’m A Celebrity in Australia has given them little time to patch up their problems.

One told The Sun on Sunday: “Ant’s rented flat was meant to be a temporary arrangement but there are no signs of him moving.
"It’s becoming harder to see a way back. He knows they need heart-to-heart talks but since he has returned from the jungle they just haven’t happened.
“And what’s more, it doesn’t look likely to any time soon.”
The source said Lisa is “all over the place” as she struggles to make up her mind on their future.
They added: “She is clearly not in a good place.
"She has told several friends their marriage is definitely over and that she is considering meeting lawyers to discuss things.
“But on other days she has been more confident they can fix things. She desperately wants it to work out.
“But at times she feels it won’t work no matter what she does, and her only option is to deal with that as best as she can.”
