Ant McPartlin’s wedding jitters disappeared the minute he tied the knot with new wife, Anne-Marie Corbett, a top body language expert has revealed.
The Britain’s Got Talent host, 45, tied the knot for the second time in a quaint village church in Hampshire, and upon the leaving the venue hand-in-hand with his new wife, Ant looked overjoyed and completely content.
Although he appeared to be riddled with nerves when he arrived that the church on Saturday morning, as soon as he was pictured leaving after the stunning ceremony, the much-loved TV star appeared to be totally relaxed in the company of his wife and his nearest and dearest.
Body language guru Judi James has shared an insight into the presenter’s wedding-day jitters, and how his whole demeanor changed the moment he left the church.
“Ant went into the church looking tense and full of suppressed wedding-day jitters but he emerged looking ecstatic, clutching his new bride’s hand and lifting it slightly in a display of happy triumph as they mirrored each other's smiles and waves to suggest strong bonds of like-minded friendship as well as coupled-up love,” Judi shared.
The body language guru suggested that Ant felt somewhat relived to have his best friend and best man, Declan Donnelly by his side as he walked into the church.
Nevertheless, he still appeared to be riddled with tension and anxiety ahead of his vows.
Judi suggested: “It was so right for Ant to leave single life posing alongside his BF and the other half of his stage double-act Dec.
“The guys tried to act out some of their playful showbiz poses, throwing some thumbs-up gestures at the cameras, but while Dec’s grin looked genuine, Ant’s very rigid and over-stretched smile and body posture suggested understandable tension and anxiety.
“His legs were splayed and his chest puffed in signals of bravado but his left hand looked rather awkward, while his right performed all the symbolic gestures of joy.”
After saying their ‘I do’s’ in the quaint country church, Ant and Anne-Marie posed for the cameras as they walked out of the church as man and wife for the very first time.
And according to Judi, Ant was overcome with happiness and pure joy.
“With Anne-Marie beside him though his smile relaxed and became a congruent signal of authentic pleasure as he clasped hands with the woman he sees as his ‘rock’,” she explained.
“Their kiss for the cameras was a ‘Guppy’ kiss, face-to-face with heads upright and lips pursed and pushed outward to press together. This is a sweet, fun kiss that is ideal as a wedding day PDA as it always looks cutely romantic rather than sexy.”
The lovebirds invited 100 guests along to their special day, and the likes of Holly Willoughby , Phillip Schofield and Stephen Mulhern all headed to Hampshire for their pal’s long-awaited wedding day.
Ant popped the question to Anne-Marie, 43, on Christmas Eve.
The lovebirds first started dating in March 2018, and their relationship has gone from strength-to-strength ever since.
