Declan Donnelly admits he thought his relationship with Ant McPartlin could have been over

Dec made his admission on the duo's ITV documentary Ant & Dec’s DNA Journey.

He said: "It has been a tough couple of years and it has tested the bond we have shared since we were 13.

"I was incredibly angry at the start, so angry. Disappointed that he didn't ever come to me and say 'I am struggling, I need you' because that is what I would do if the shoe was on the other foot.

"And he never came to me and that hurt me a lot.

Ant has had a tough few years as he battled addiction

"There was a point where I thought that that was it. There were times where I wasn't sure it was going to survive.

"Times where you didn't know it needed to survive or you wanted it to survive.

"All the while he was away I wasn't sure where his head was at or if he was going to say 'none of this is for me'.

"I didn't know what he wanted to do and for the first time in 30 years I had to think about what I was going to do and if I was going to go out on my own.
