The talent show host - who took a year out to focus on his sobriety after a drink driving conviction - returned to work on the show last month alongside Dec Donnelly, and the judge has revealed how upbeat the atmosphere is.

Appearing on ITV's 'Loose Women' on Friday (22.02.19), she said: "We've worked together now for, I think, seven years and when we get together it is like a family vibe in the studio and it just feels good and it's so great, and everyone's happy and back to our naughty selves."

The 40-year-old singer explained that there's a very close bond between everyone working on the programme, which has been built up over the years.

She added: "There's a lot of love and, I think, you ladies know the more you work with people, the more you build up relationships and care about each other as people - you're not just doing your job, you care about each other's wellbeing, it's no different on our show."

Last month, Ant was back in the mix for the upcoming new series of 'Britain's Got Talent' as he joined Dec for the auditions.

In a tweet posted from the duo's Twitter account - which featured a picture of them en route to the auditions at the London Palladium - they wrote: "#BGT 2019. Audition day 1. The boys are back in town! (sic)"

Ant is also expected to return to 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' at the end of the year, after being temporary replaced by Holly Willoughby.

At the ITV show's after party, Dec praised Holly's performance when he said: "There is nobody I would have preferred to stood next to.

"We were thrilled with the ratings, they are absolutely great. Holly has been fantastic too, just brilliant. She was the one I wanted and I am thrilled she did it."
