I'm A Celeb's Ant McPartlin Moves Out of Home After Neighbour Dispute
Ant McPartlin, one half of the presenting duo Ant and Dec on "I'm A Celebrity," has decided to leave his £6 million Wimbledon home following a long-standing dispute with neighbours over trees on the property.
Background on the Property
Ant and his wife, Anne-Marie, have lived in the house since 2019. During this time, they invested heavily in renovations, reportedly spending thousands of pounds on extensive refurbishments. The home features seven bedrooms, five reception rooms, a cinema, sunroom, walk-in wardrobe, study, office, Victorian-style changing rooms for the pool, and two single-storey extensions, including a swimming pool.
The Dispute
In February 2024, the couple sought permission to remove four cypress trees, a pine tree, and a yew tree to continue renovations. Although these trees were protected under a Tree Preservation Order, permission to fell them was granted.
"No justification is given for felling these substantial trees, other than the applicant's wish to allow re-landscaping of part of their garden," wrote an objecting neighbour.
The decision upset many neighbours, sparking a conflict that reportedly influenced the couple’s choice to move out after six years in the home.
Summary
After years of investing in their Wimbledon property, Ant McPartlin and his wife are leaving following a contentious dispute with neighbours over tree removal and gardening plans.
