Jeez, the one time Ant decides to go out without his less foreheady twin and he gets beaten up...

Picture the scene, Ant enjoying some pints in his local in Chiswick, idly watching the Barcelona v Arsenal match with some mates. No Dec to be seen anywhere. Next thing, a diminutive hoodie shouts "Oi, where's your girlfriend?!" before launching a fist at Ant's face. Before you start thinking "But, isn't Ant married?" He is; the girlfriend being referred to on this occasion was Dec.

A witness speaking with The Sun said: "Ant didn't react and this bloke launched himself at him and punched him in the face. Ant reeled back and then a big fight broke out as his mates came to help him. Other people jumped in and held back the other guy. The bloke was thrown out but when Ant left later, he was waiting for him. There was another lot of shouting and then Ant walked off. It was all totally unprovoked."

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yeah, it was Dec wasn't it. Righteously miffed he hadn't been invited along for footie pints - how DARE Ant go out and have fun without him. I mean, what would people say?! Jealously is an evil, evil thing... Oh, Dec had been in the pub with his girlfriend Georgie Thompson and left prior to the incident? OK. I still reckon it was him; they've been together so long now one's bound to be abusing the other one in some form or another.

It's the only thing that makes sense. I mean, nothing was reported to the police, all kept very quiet. Even the landlord kept shtum about what was going on, saying: "I'm not aware of any violent situation." Although he could just be a really sh*t landlord...
