Last updated 13th Aug 2021
TV presenter Ant McPartlin married Anne-Marie Corbett in a stunning, celebrity-packed ceremony last week, and by the sounds of it, it had a VERY entertaining reception.
Ant, who married his former PA at St Michael's Church in Heckfield in Hampshire on Saturday 7th August, invited some of his closest family and showbiz friends to the ceremony, including best man Dec Donnelly, Phillip Schofield, Christine Lampard, David Walliams and Dermot O'Leary.
But it wasn't all champagne and caviar on the menu for the A-listers, as Ant joined forces with his side-kick Dec to keep the guests entertained.
According to Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams, the Geordie duo performed their hit single 'Let's Get Ready To Rhumble' during the reception.
Speaking on Channel 4's The Lateish Show With Mo Gilligan, David said: "Ant and Dec also did Let's Get Ready To Rhumble on the dance floor.
"I filmed it and said to Dec, 'Can I put this on social media?'. He said no and I was really sad.
"It's one of the funniest things you have ever seen."
We are praying David persuades the boys to upload the footage, because let's face it... We'd all LOVE to see it! 🤣
