Ashley Roberts
The Geordie star reportedly had a fling with Ashley Roberts following her appearance on I'm a Celebrity in 2012. Dec made no secret of his crush on the Pussycat Dolls star, and they were close for a while after the show, with Ashley saying of their romance: "We're trying to keep it out of the public eye. We're just getting to know each other." The Don't Cha singer had also previously said: "I'd like to get to know Dec better. It would be nice to go for a drink and a chat."
However, while the romance soon fizzled out, they remained friends and Ashley was a guest at Dec's wedding in 2015.

Ali Astall
In 2013, Dec found love with his manager of ten years, Ali Astall. He previously said they had always been close but had been reluctant to start a relationship because of work, and admitted they used to go out for Valentine's Day meals together when they were both single.
The pair were together for a year before Dec popped the question in November 2014, and they married the following August at St Michael's Roman Catholic Church in Elswick, close to where Dec was born, before heading to the rural 300-acre estate Matfen Hall for their reception.
During Ant and Dec's first ever I'm A Celebrity trial, Ant said: "Dec's wife is our manager so she would have signed all of this off!"
