Ant also made a rare comment about his first wedding to Lisa during the chat.
He revealed of Dec: “He was very good last time. He has been my best man. I’ve been his best man. But I suppose it depends on what kind of wedding we have. There’s been no plans.”
It was a lovely way to end the year. I’m a romantic at heart. You know, there were flowers and afternoon tea in front of the Christmas tree. Lovely. It was lovely.
The only other name in the frame, it appears, has brown fur, a wagging tail and four legs.
