However, filming has apparently been pushed back on filming promo for the new series.

Producers reportedly postponed filming for a big budget promotional shoot at Pinewood Studios in London, as Ant has flown off to LA to continue his recovery post-rehab.

“It would have been the first day filming but with Ant away, there is no way they could get started," a source told The Sun.

Ant spent two months in rehab over summer recieving treatment for his prescription drug addiction and 'substance abuse'.

He's now taking time out in LA with his agent Paul Worsley.

“Ant needed some space away," a source explained.

"Everyone completely understands.”
