Ant McPartlin arrives for second day of Britain’s Got Talent auditions – and he’s got his swagger back

ANT McPartlin beamed with joy as he was pictured arriving for the second day of Britain's Got Talent auditions.

After taking a break from his TV commitments following a drink-drive arrest, Ant has reunited with co-host Declan Donnelly.

43-year-old Ant arrived at London's Palladium theatre in denim jeans, a blue overcoat and a grey cap.

Clutching a mobile phone in his left hand, Ant looked to be back to his cheery self as he greeted fans waiting outside the venue.

The Geordie host beamed with joy as he returned to work and posed for a selfie with co-host Declan Donnelly once inside the theatre.

Head judge Simon Cowell embraced the winter chill as he arrived in his trademark white t-shirt and denim jeans ensemble.

Ant McPartlin's ex Lisa Armstrong unexpectedly threw her support behind the troubled Geordie's return to work yesterday - after she liked a tweet telling him to "have a great day."

Lisa, who has communicated her feelings about her bitter split from the star almost exclusively through retweets and likes, hit the heart button on a picture of Ant and Dec.

The poster, Chris Yates, had shared the pic, from the official Ant and Dec account, and written: "Have a great day lads. Xx."

However, Lisa will not be returning to her long-term role as the show's make-up artist, after being axed from the talent show in the wake of their break-up.
