Ant went into rehab in 2018 after being arrested for a drink-driving conviction and missed last year's series as a result but he was quick to make a joke about the situation on spin-off show 'Extra Camp'.
When presenter Emily Atack said she would like to have a drink with new camper Andy Whyment, Ant joked: "I can't."
Ant was arrested in May 2018 and was later fined £86,000 and given a 20-month driving ban after pleading guilty to drink-driving.
He then took time out from his presenting partnership with Dec to focus on getting help to overcome his demons.
Meanwhile, Ant's presenting partner Declan Donnelly recently admitted he thought he'd "lost" his Ant during his battle with alcohol addiction.
Speaking in their documentary 'Ant & Dec's DNA Journey' - which halted filming for two years whilst Ant took his break from the spotlight - Ant said: "Y'know the last few years have been quite emotional, hard, they have been testing I would say in terms of how strong your love is and how strong your friendship is."
Dec added: "It has been a tough couple of years and it has tested the bond we have shared since we were 13 years old. I was incredibly angry at the start, so angry. Disappointed that he didn't ever come to me and say 'I am struggling, I need you' because that is what I would do if the shoe was on the other foot. And he never came to me and that hurt me a lot."
Dec was then asked if he thought he might lose Ant, and the TV star admitted he was "filled with fear" at the thought of no longer having his pal by his side.
He said: "Yes. There was a point where I thought that that was it. There were times where I wasn't sure it was going to survive. Times where you didn't know it needed to survive or you wanted it to survive.
"All the while he was away I wasn't sure where his head was at or if he was going to say 'none of this is for me'.
"I didn't know what he wanted to do and for the first time in 30 years I had to think about what I was going to do and if I was going to go out on my own. The thought of that filled me with fear."
