It's not their first Christmas apart, but for Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong this one stood out for notably similar reasons. The former couple ended their 12-year marriage in 2016, with beloved pet Labrador Hurley assuming a role as their one significant point contact following the split by dividing its time between their respective homes.

While both have remained quiet across social media over the festive period, Ant, 49, enjoyed his first Christmas as a father after welcoming son Wilder with second wife Anne-Marie in May. The presenter is thought to have spent the day at home in London after returning from Australia in mid-December following his annual hosting role on ITV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

Ant has also joined forces with long-term presenting partner Declan Donnelly for online show Taste Mates, in which they explored different festive recipes with a revolving cast of celebrity friends. His last public appearance with Anne-Marie and seven-month old Hurley came on December 13 during a stroll on Wimbledon Common.
