Ant McPartlin was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving on Sunday afternoon (March 18) after he allegedly lost control of his car and crashed in Mortlake, Richmond.

The crash, involving two other cars, happened in Lower Richmond Road at about 4pm near the Mortlake roundabout.

A child passenger from one of the other cars was taken to hospital after the incident.

Police were called to the scene at 4pm.

The 42-year-old I’m a Celebrity Star, who entered rehab last year because of an addition to painkillers, failed a road side breathalyser test and was arrested.

A Met Police spokesman said “a number of individuals were treated at the scene for minor injuries only” which the child was taken to hospital by London Ambulance “as a precaution”.

McPartlin was driving a green Mini at the time of the crash.

He has since been released under investigation.
