The Mirror reports that Ian, 50, worked on both BGT and The X Factor and is claimed to be good friends with the pair.
But when he suffered a brain aneurysm when drunk, he asked for £20,000 to go to famous rehab centre The Priory to help sort out his problems.
It’s claimed that Ant – who has battled his own demons in the past year – and Dec pledged thousands on Ian’s GoFundMe page.
The page – set up by a friend – said: “Ian is in desperate need of our help. He is an alcoholic and has taken his first steps by admitting so.”
