Overview
- Declan Donnelly said he lives with a low-level, constant anxiety that leaves him feeling he should always be doing something, and he found therapy five to six years ago very helpful.
- Appearing with Ant McPartlin on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place, Donnelly noted he has yet to arrange a new therapist after being unable to return to his previous one.
- Ant and Dec will debut their first joint series, Hanging Out With Ant & Dec, later this week, describing a family-focused approach and recalling an unused podcast pilot recorded years ago.
- The pair deleted a social-media promo and apologized after criticism that its opening shot suggested suicide imagery, saying they did not intend to cause offence.
- Donnelly told The Times he is proud McPartlin “took responsibility and real action” after past difficulties; McPartlin said he maintains sobriety with daily practices and feels happier in recent years, following his 2018 drink-driving conviction and rehab.
