Declan Donnelly reportedly delivered an emotional best man speech at Ant McPartlin’s wedding today.
The Saturday Night Takeaway duo experienced another major life moment together as Ant wed his partner Anne-Marie Corbett on Saturday at St Michael's Church in the village of Heckfield.
At the ceremony, The Sun reports that Dec said that Ant was the “best friend a man could have” before reading a prayer for the attendants.
The pair had arrived at the ceremony together first in matching black tie prior to Anne-Marie’s arrival in a beautiful white gown while carrying a beautiful bouquet of purple and white flowers.
The paper also reports that the duo’s close friend Stephen Mulhern also provided many amusing moments at the ceremony, with a guest telling the paper that it gave the event a “light-hearted feel”.
Meanwhile, during Ant’s own wedding speech, the groom noted: “When Anne-Marie walked into the church, I had to fight to hold it together as she looked so beautiful.”
Anne-Marie’s two daughters from her previous marriage also performed readings, one of which is noted to be the romantic poem The Bridge Across The River.
The Mirror has reached out to a representative of Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for a comment on this report.
A big party to celebrate the wedding is said to have followed for 150 guests at the country estate of Heckfield Place.
Earlier in the day, Ant and Anne-Marie were seen leaving the church together after the ceremony and looked utterly jubilant.
The couple have been together since 2018 and became engaged when Ant proposed to Anne-Marie on Christmas Eve last year.
Other guests who attended the ceremony included This Morning host Phillip Schofield, presenter Cat Deeley and husband Patrick Kielty, Britain's Got Talent judges David Walliams and Alesha Dixon, plus presenter Dermot O'Leary.
One person who was unable to make the event was Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden.
On Instagram, Amanda apologised for her absence and shared an image of her with Ant and Dec and Alesha Dixon.
Amanda penned: “So sorry we will miss @antanddec special day… we are still away [sunshine emoji]
“Huge congratulations to Ant and Amzie [red heart emojis] on this amazing day.”
