Ant McPartlin and Anne-Marie Corbett are getting married this weekend - less than eight months after the TV star popped the question in a romantic Christmas Eve proposal at home.
It's set to be a huge day for the lovebirds, with Ant believed to be forking out over £100,000 on hotel bills to cover the costs of 100 friends and family that will be joining them at their Hampshire nuptials.
Ant, 45, and Anne-Marie, 43, will say their vows at an intimate ceremony before spending the weekend celebrating their new status with their nearest and dearest.
It's been a long road for the couple who were first introduced by their work.
Here's everything we know about their love story which began in the wake of Ant's split from teenage sweetheart Lisa Armstrong.
Anne-Marie has known the Geordie television personality for a whole decade, as she worked at Ant's management agency for ten years.
The agency is also the same place Dec's wife Ali Astall worked at before she struck up a romance
However, it wasn't until 2017 that Anne-Marie began to work closely with the I'm A Celebrity star, as she became his PA.
Mum-of-two Anne-Marie split from her husband just a few months before Ant and his ex-wife Lisa ended their 11 year marriage.
At the time, Ant revealed neither he or Anne-Marie were looking for love after they had both gone through break-ups.
He told The Sun : "We were going through turmoil. It was the last thing on either of our minds to get into a relationship. But there we were like, 'This felt so good, why deny it?'."
In January 2018, it was publicly announced that Ant and Lisa were separating after 11 years of marriage.
A statement issued from a representative explained: "In response to the recent speculation in the media, Ant is very sad to announce that, after eleven years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin."
Months later Anne-Marie emerged as a supportive figure in Ant's life.
She was papped taking Ant's bins out and handing him a packed lunch and joining him on dog walks.
Anne-Marie also remained by the presenter's when his drink-driving scandal hit the headlines in April 2018 leading him to take a five month career break.
After months of being spotted together, Ant and Anne-Marie's relationship was finally in the open.
Their courtship appeared to be a shock to Ant's ex Lisa, who tweeted at the time: "Thanks babe and to think she was MY friend!! xx" in response to her ex-husband's new relationship.
Ant then began openly talking about Anne-Marie in interviews, praising her as his 'rock' during his most trouble times.
"Anne-Marie honestly is the fundamental reason for the great change in my life," he told The Sun on Sunday.
Ant said his drink drive arrest was 'an explosion of the worst possible moment in my life' and that Anne-Marie had helped him through the turmoil.
In April 2020, Ant finalised his divorce to wife Lisa and proposed to girlfriend Anne-Marie eight months later.
A spokesperson confirmed the engagement at the time, telling us: "Ant and Amzie are delighted to announce their engagement.
"The proposal took place on Christmas Eve at home in a very romantic setting."
To further cement their love, the pair splashed out on a stunning £6million mansion in Wimbledon, which provided the location for Ant's proposal.
The Geordie star is said to have designed the eye-catching engagement ring himself before presenting it to his girlfriend on Christmas Eve.
After three years of dating, Ant and Anne-Marie will walk down the aisle together this weekend.
Sharing details of the nuptials, a source told the Mail on Sunday: “A grand stately home-turned-hotel in Hampshire will host a star-studded reception for Ant and his fiancee Anne-Marie Corbett on August 6 and 7.“
The report goes on to claim: “Ant is paying for 100 friends to stay at £1,000 per night and has told them to send the spa bill to his £5,000 per night honeymoon suite.”
While the report also states that the accommodation for the big even is “more expensive than The Ritz".
Reports last month suggested the pair were keeping the guest list to their closest friends and family members, with Ant’s TV partner, Declan Donnelly, acting as best man at a low-key wedding.
A source previously said: “Neither of them want the razzmatazz of a showbiz wedding" and that Ant and Anne-Marie were aiming to avoid the “glare of the spotlight."
The freshly leaked plans, however, hint at a far more lavish event than previously expected.
Last year, it was reported Ant had handed over more than half his personal fortune to first wife, Lisa Armstrong, following their bitter divorce.
The TV host had married the 44-year-old make-up artist in 2006 and they split in 2018.
