Presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly often coordinate their outfits for TV appearances, but they may have also drawn inspiration from one another in their private lives off-screen.
The Saturday Night Takeaway hosts are both happily married; Ant tied the knot with former personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett in 2021, six years after Dec exchanged vows with Ali Astall. Did you spot the striking similarities between the two celebrity weddings?

Ant married his wife Ali on 7 August 2021 at St Michael Church in Heckfield in front of a star-studded guest list. As well as his co-star Dec, he also invited Phillip Schofield, Alesha Dixon, David Walliams, Dermot O'Leary and Christine Lampard to witness the ceremony. They then travelled to 5-star hotel Heckfield Place, a Georgian manor house set on a 400-acre estate.
The wedding took place very close to Dec's sixth wedding anniversary on 1 August. For his 2015 summer nuptials, he gathered a similar set of stars including Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield, Fearne Cotton and Rochelle Humes at St Michael's Roman Catholic Church in Elswick, Newcastle, before heading to the rural 300-acre estate Matfen Hall for the reception.
While very few photos reveal the evening celebrations, Ant and Dec were pictured emerging from their ceremonies as newlyweds – and the I'm A Celebrity stars both chose picturesque decor.

The colourway - and his delicate mix of greenery, hydrangeas and roses - were reminiscent of Ant's wedding day. After walking down the aisle lined with purple delphiniums, newlyweds Ant and Ali made their way through a floral arch consisting of purple and white flowers, broken up by darker pink ross.

Dec's bride Ali stepped out in a spellbinding silk couture wedding dress with a belted waist and A-line skirt by Phillipa Lepley, who was also the mastermind behind Princess Alexandra's granddaughter Flora Ogilvy's bridal gown. The Princess of Wales is also a fan of Phillipa's designs, as she proved with her silver gown in The Bahamas in 2022.

Meanwhile, Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II, similarly turned to the designer for her cap-sleeved bridal gown in 2022.

When asked about their greatest love, Dec replied: "My family, my wife, my child, my dog and Newcastle United – all equally," while Ant similarly quipped: "My family, my partner, her girls, our dogs… and Newcastle United."
