Ant McPartlin's three-day wedding party from Friday night to posh breakfast on Sunday

Ant McPartlin's wedding celebrations are taking place across three days this weekend.

The telly favourite, 45, is preparing to tie the knot with his former PA Anne-Marie Corbett at a country church in Hampshire, which will be followed by a reception at a swanky hotel.

Sources have told The Mirror the festivities kicked off on Friday with guests checking into Heckfield Place hotel, where the reception is being held.

We can reveal attendees will be staying for two nights and the celebrations will be concluded on Sunday with a delicious gourmet breakfast being laid on for them.

Ant is believed to be footing the bill for his nearest and dearest to stay in the swanky country manor hotel, and it's said to be costing him around £100,000 all together.

Guest are believed to include Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden and This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby.

Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield and Saturday Night Takeaway's Stephen Mulhern are also believed to be on the guest list.

However, reports suggest music mogul Simon Cowell won't be part of the couple's special day.

Another person who won't be at the ceremony is Ant's ex-wife Lisa Armstrong, who has taken herself off on a mini-break in Wales with her boyfriend.

Despite booking a date for August, it looked like the big day would be spent battling rain as downpours struck much of the country on Saturday morning.

The wedding will reportedly be presided over by Rev'd Canon Dr Marion de Quidt, who spoke of her joy at being asked to take part in the nuptials.,

She told the Daily Star: “I’m looking forward to sharing in their joy, and I’m looking forward to the blessings for their future.

"That’s all I can say right now, but God bless, it’s going to be a wonderful time."

Ant and Anne-Marie have been together since 2018 and got engaged on Christmas Eve last year, when Ant popped the question.

His representative confirmed at the time: "Ant and Amzie are delighted to announce their engagement.

"The proposal took place on Christmas Eve at home in a very romantic setting."

Ant was previously married to make-up artist Lisa for 11 years before they split in 2018.

He later got together with Anne-Marie, who used to work as the former couple's PA.
