He said at the time: "I'd played football and golf and the knee had started creaking, but the dance did the damage. The meniscus had torn. I had to go in for a routine operation.

"I came out and was still in pain days, weeks and months after. They injected steroids but nothing helped it. That was the start of the prescribed painkillers."
Multiple knee surgeries
The presenter underwent surgery in 2015 to fix the issue with his knee, which worsened the injury, resulting in a hairline fracture.
The fracture turned into a two cm hole in the bone, which meant he was in constant pain while his leg was in a brace.

He said: "We looked at scans and the docs said, 'You're a 41-year-old man but it looks like the knee of a 60-year-old.'
In 2017, Ant had a second surgery to fix his knee, telling The Sun: "It's a very painful operation. They physically break your bone. They’ve broken the tibia and moved it across to realign my leg to stop the pressure."

Painkiller addiction
Ant shared that he battled with a two-year addiction to painkillers following his knee operation in 2015.
It was for his addiction to the pills, along with alcohol dependency, that the presenter entered rehab after his 2018 car crash. The star said he was hooked on OxyContin and tramadol following his operations.

"I'm off everything now. Just your basic paracetamol and coping with the pain. I'm still in pain but managing it a lot better," he told the paper.
Ant McPartlin's ADHD diagnosis
At the age of 43, Ant was diagnosed with ADHD. He found out he had the condition while undergoing tests in rehab.
Chatting to The Sun about his ADHD diagnosis, he said: "I was so thoroughly examined and diagnosed, I found stuff out about me I hadn’t addressed for years."
