Ant, 43, looked happier than ever as he walked down a local high street with Anne-Marie and his beloved dog Hurley.

The TV star stepped out of the spotlight earlier this year after he was charged with drink-driving.

He will return to work in January and will start filming for the next series of Britain’s Got Talent with his best pal Declan Donnelly.

Ant appeared happy and relaxed as he walked along the busy streets with Anne-Marie.

The couple stopped to pick up a coffee together before continuing their way down the high street.

Ant’s highly anticipated return comes after a tough few months for the Geordie TV star.

The Sun exclusively revealed he would be making his comeback in the New Year after his break away.

Last week his co-star Stephen Mulhern said Ant was “doing really well” and was looking forward to returning to work.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Stephen said: “I think it's great. I think it's brilliant. Look, he's apparently doing very well.

“It'll be nice to have all the family back together. It's all good. It's all back on track and it's all lovely.”

Fans made sure Ant knew how much he was missed during the most recent series of I’m A Celebrity.

Although Holly Willoughby impressed bosses, viewers said they couldn’t wait to have Ant back on their screens.

Holly stepped in for Ant after he personally asked her to keep his seat warm while he got back on his feet.

Although it was reported TV bosses were trying to tempt Holly back to the show, to work alongside Ant and Dec next year, she confirmed on Monday her stint was a one-off.
