    In a statement released to media today by ITV, it confirmed that "Ant has decided to go back into treatment and step down from current TV commitments. He has spoken with Dec and asked for time off for the foreseeable future." McPartlin was arrested following a three-car smash in London, reportedly failing a breathalyser test at the scene of the crash.
