According to the publication, executives are keen to have the This Morning presenter back on screens after the show received its highest ever viewing figures, with a whopping 12.6 million tuning in to watch the star’s first week.

Ant revealed in August that he would be taking a break from presenting duties for the rest of 2018, following his drink-drive arrest in March, his acrimonious divorce from wife Lisa Armstrong and his stint in rehab.
