Ant McPartlin previously opened up about being diagnosed with ADHD when he was 43, admitting it ‘completely made sense’ after years of struggles.

The presenter, 49, had shared in a 2019 interview that he received the diagnosis after being ‘thoroughly examined.’

Ant, who is currently hosting the new series of I’m A Celeb with Declan Donnelly, told The Sun at the time: ‘I’ve got ADHD. I don’t mind talking about that. I was so thoroughly examined and diagnosed, I found stuff out about me I hadn’t addressed for years.’

Ant also shared his support for those ‘struggling’ with ADHD too, while sharing how it has unknowingly impacted his career and personal life.

He added: ‘In my job, having what they call ”popcorn thinking” is good because it means you can jump from one thing to another. Professionally it’s brilliant. Personally I’m all over the place.’

Ant received his ADHD diagnosis after he was arrested for drink-driving in 2018, and he said the condition is strongly linked to alcohol dependency.

He is not the only star to go public with their ADHD diagnosis in recent years as I’m A Celeb winner Sam Thompson, Lily Allen, Sheridan Smith and Katie Price have all also opened up about struggling with the condition.

During Monday’s I’m A Celeb, Ant and Dec paid tribute to Tulisa‘s iconic girl boss tattoo while GK Barry tackled the latest Bushtucker Trial.

Back in 2011, Tulisa would hold up her forearm during the opening minutes of the X Factor to proudly show off her ‘Female Boss’ tattoo.

And during the first Bushtucker Trial, the Geordie duo referred back to the iconic inking as they motivated GK Barry as she screamed while covered in critters.

GK had just 10 minutes to make her way inside the volcano of caves and tunnels where she had to search in to find hidden stars.

Of course the TikTok star was joined by plenty of jungle critters but as she started the trial, Ant and Dec were on hand to offer plenty of motivational quotes such as: ‘What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.’

Faced with snakes, spiders, rats and plenty of creepy crawlies, GK made her way through with plenty of screaming and swearing. So much so, Ant and Dec declared: ‘We’re going to need to bleep a lot of this!’

GK replied questioning, ‘What would Tulisa do?’ if she was in her situation covered in critters.

Prompting Ant to hold his forearm in her iconic pose and reply, ‘she would by like a female boss’.

Completing the Bushtucker Trial, GK managed to collect an impressive 9 out of 10 stars for camp.

It isn’t the first time this series, Tulisa has showed off her iconic ‘Female Boss’ tattoo as she held up her arm minutes into Sunday night’s first episode.

In the opening credits at the start of the show, glamorous Tulisa proudly stuck her arm up.

The tattoo hit the headlines back in 2011 when then X Factor judge Tulisa was accused of illegally promoting her perfume of the same name when she struck a pose to display her forearm at the start of the show.

Offering insight into the tattoo’s meaning she told The Mirror at the time: ‘I was showing off my tattoo long before The X Factor. It’s always been my trademark and it’s always been my nickname’.
