Ant McPartlin and his estranged wife Lisa Armstrong have begun a divorce court fight over money.
A High Court judge is analysing issues relating to the division of assets.
Mr Justice Mostyn oversaw a preliminary hearing in the Family Division of the High Court on Monday. He has placed limits on what can be reported.

Another judge has already drawn the pair’s marriage to a close.
Judge Alun Jenkins granted a decree nisi at hearing in the Central Family Court in London in October.
Ant, who is best known for his TV partnership with Dec Donnelly, announced that he was splitting from his wife earlier this year.
Ms Armstrong was in court on Monday but McPartlin did not attend the hearing.
Mr Justice Mostyn considered issues relating to the reporting of any future hearings.
He ruled that detail relating to the pair’s confidential financial information would not be permitted.
Further hearings are expected to take place in the near future.
Ant announced plans to take a break from the spotlight after a drink-drive incident in March.
In August, Ant revealed he would be taking the rest of the year off to focus on his recovery following a stint in rehab.
Last month, Ant and Lisa were granted a divorce in a 30-second hearing.
Lisa had sought a divorce on the grounds of adultery.
Court documents indicated the judge held that “the respondent has committed adultery and that the petitioner finds it intolerable to live with the respondent.”
Ant began a relationship with personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett after his split from Lisa but before they had officially divorced, which meant he was technically still married while in a new romance, hence the ‘adultery’ grounds.
If neither party raises a case against the making of a decree absolute within six weeks, their divorce will be finalised.
