Ant and Dec's partners share stunning similarities after romantic Christmas proposal

Ant and Dec fans have a lot to celebrate in 2021, after Ant McPartlin kicked off the year with the announcement that he's engaged to Anne-Marie Corbett.

Ant, who was previously married to Lisa Armstrong, got down on one knee in a romantic Christmas Eve proposal - and Anne-Marie didn't hesitate in saying yes.

After three years together, Anne-Marie will meet Ant at the altar, with his presenting partner and best mate Dec expected to be beside him as best man.

And in the wake of the happy news, fans have picked on some major similarities between Anne-Marie and Dec's wife of five years, Ali Astall.

One of the biggest similarities is their choice of career - both women meeting their partners through a celebrity agency working with Ant and Dec.

Ali started working for the company as Anthea Turner's PA before joining the Ant and Dec team.

And Anne-Marie had been Ant and then wife Lisa's PA, brought in by the same agency.

Especially in the fashion department - the two women rock largely similar styles, both enjoying denim shorts and flowing white summer dresses in warmer climes.

Their summer vibes were a perfect fit for Wimbledon's Centre Court after both were snapped with their respective partners enjoying the tennis in 2019.

While Anne-Marie opted for a baby pink ensemble on the occasion, Ali donned a floral maxi dress to accommodate her baby bump - both opting for a striking pink lipstick.

Meanwhile, in winter they wrap up warm in lengthy padded coats, and indulge in some active wear for their sporty outings to keep fit.

In the handbag department, they have a taste for Chanel, both wearing the famous designer's bags over their shoulder during a Wimbledon night out in 2018.

They're both thought to also have black versions of the same handbag in black, Anne-Marie looking chic with hers in 2019.

But beyond their wardrobe, the two women share habits that fans have picked up on from pap snaps over the years.

They've both been caught on camera multiple times taking the dogs out for walkies in south-west London, and are usually joined by their partners.

And of course, both women's love for their dogs matching that of Ant and Dec.

The self-confessed pooch-loving presenters have four dogs between them, Dec and Ali sharing a Dachsund, Rocky, while Ant and Ant-Marie look after her two Maltipoos.

Ant also shares Labrador Hurley with ex Lisa.

Both Ali and Anne-Marie have been seen scooping the beloved animals up into their arms during the chilly winter months.
