Saturday Night Takeaway star Ant McPartlin has opened up about being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), saying that he “never knew” he had the condition until he was diagnosed at the age of 43.

After taking a break from work between 2018 and 2019, Ant, now 48, discovered that he had the condition, which can cause symptoms such as being impatient, risk-taking and being unable to focus, and went public with the diagnosis in 2019 during an interview with The Sun. “I’ve got ADHD.

I don’t mind talking about that,” he told the publication. “I was so thoroughly examined and diagnosed, I found stuff out about me I hadn’t addressed for years.” During the interview, the TV personality sent his thoughts to people who may be “struggling” with ADHD, and discussed how in terms of his career it was “brilliant” but it was less great away from his professional life. “In my job, having what they call ‘popcorn thinking’ is good because it means you can jump from one thing to another.

Professionally it’s brilliant. Personally I’m all over the place,” he explained. Ant isn’t the only familiar face to have opened up about being diagnosed with ADHD, and celebs including Sam Thompson, Lily Allen and Sheridan Smith have spoken about living with the condition.
