    He's had a drink problem for some time, you would think with his wealth he'd employ someone to drive him . Alcoholism is an illness so in a way I feel sorry for the guy but that no excuse for driving under the influence.
    REST IN PEACE THE 96.

    would you feel sorry for the local Southport alcoholic if they had done the same as him.

    Very much doubt it you would be calling for him to be locked up and throw away the key.

    But because its Ant he has problems.

    Lock the f****r up

    Well said.

    Ordinary punter hits car, injures 3yr old while drink driving:

    “Jail the ****er”

    Ant McPartlin hits car, injures 3yr old while drink driving:

    “Oh its not his fault, he has his demons, poor guy, hopefully he makes a comeback”

    Absolute rubbish - it is not an illness it is an addiction and a deliberate choice is made by these people to drive. There may be underlying medical reasons which cause a person to drink too much but that is very different.

    I do wish that as a society we would stop trying to 'medicalise' criminal or anti-social acts and just see them for what they are - people making the wrong choices. They should then be left to accept the consequences associated with those choices.

    Tell the public repeatedly that the guy is the best thing that happened to them since sliced bread and they come to believe it. Can't stand the guy myself, he has absolutely no personality and comes over completely false! I am glad that I do not have to watch the totally untalented, drunken waste of space!

    one half of a pair of idiots

    Personally I can't stand them, they make rubbish programmes like Saturday Night Takeaway and I'm a Celebrity.
    I'm sick of hearing about Ant McPartlin....
