Viewers were overwhelmingly elated to see Ant McPartlin reunite with Declan Donnelly on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent… some were reduced to tears of joy!
As practically everyone in the country knows, Ant took some time out to get himself well after his battle with painkiller addiction, and a drink-drive charge last year.

He missed out on hosting last year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, with friend Holly Willoughby standing in.
But it was business as usual tonight, with the returning series of BGT seeing Ant take his place by Dec’s side.
Ooo I’ve just got all emotional watching the @BGT opening credits and seeing Ant @antanddec back on TV. So good to see my Geordie boys back together again, it’s been too long. #BGT

Of course no one is going to please everyone all the time and some fans of the show expressed less than excited view’s about Ant’s comeback.
Unpopular opinion: I have no time for Ant anymore 🙊 mean him no harm but just no time #BGT

Kinda disappointed that Ant is back. The Ant & Dec partnership is a bit stale and I thought that Dec & Holly on I’m a Celeb was a nice change #BGT
