Building a bachelor pad? Ant McPartlin takes delivery of a bed as Dec goes to pick up his beloved dog after estranged wife tells friends 'they are definitely getting divorced'
Ant McPartlin has been spotted receiving a bed delivery after returning from the I'm A Celebrity jungle to his rented home - not the one he shared with his wife Lisa.
A mattress was seen being delivered to his house in London yesterday, while Declan Donnelly appeared to have picked up his beloved dog Hurley instead of Ant going back to the marital home to fetch him himself.
The couple have reportedly been living separate lives ever since he returned from Australia following the end of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here.
But Now Ant McPartlin's marriage to make-up artist Lisa Armstrong has been hit by more drama as she has allegedly told friends their marriage is 'definitely over'.

A source close to Ant (pictured) and Lisa claimed: 'She has told several friends their marriage is definitely over and that she is considering meeting lawyers to discuss things.'
Sources near the London home told The Mirror that Dec is 'acting as a go-between', while the beloved pooch is the main point of contact for the couple.
Ant has been living away from make-up artist Lisa since he returned from Oz, renting a house a few streets away.
The source continued: 'Dec has been acting as go-between and has been helping Ant a lot.
'He brought Hurley round to the flat for Ant as he settles in to his new place. Normally Ant goes to pick up the dog himself but this time he didn't.'
MailOnline has contacted both Ant and Lisa's representatives for comment.

The pair have been living separately as Ant battled his addiction issues, with Lisa focusing on her job as head make-up artist on Strictly Come Dancing.
The sighting comes after rumours he will spend Christmas with his wife, 'even if it is their last'.
According to sources close to Ant, he is keen to spend another festive season with his wife of eleven years, even if it is their last one.
'She's said they will see each other over Christmas,' a source told Heat.'Lisa would rather stay friendly than be resentful. She doesn't want to ruin what they had – this isn't a blame game.
'Ant wants to spend this Christmas with Lisa as her husband – even if this could be the last time,' they added.

Last month Lisa finally broke her silence on reports of marital woes with Ant following his battles with addiction.
She took to Twitter to hit back at the long-running reports that the duo have separated, as she penned on the microblogging site: 'I'm not estranged thank you'.
She added that she hadn't been to Australia for 10 years so it wasn't a surprise that she hadn't joined Ant in the jungle.

Ant's return to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! had been hotly-anticipated following his addiction battle.
The star had addressed his rehab stint in the opening episode, with co-host Dec telling viewers: 'I'm here with the gorgeous Holly Willoughby...' before adding in mock horror: 'Wait, no! Guys that's the wrong script! You've put the wrong script in!'
Turning to Ant, who was stood in mock outrage, Dec continued the joke by stating, in reference to his pal's rehab stint: 'No one was sure if you would make it or not!'
Confirming to fans he was better than ever however, the famous Geordie assured: 'I was always going to make it, come on.'
He then added excitedly: 'I'm back my friend!', before the pair sweetly hugged, to the applause of the production crew.
