Ant McPartlin apparently broke down in tears over a Britain's Got Talent audition last week
Ant McPartlin is going through a very rough time at the moment, so it's no surprise that he apparently became very emotional at a Britain's Got Talent audition in London last week.
As BGT is due back on our TV screens within the next couple of months, auditions are well underway - while Ant is currently going through a divorce from Lisa Armstrong who also works on the show, so it's a pretty emotional time for him.
And according to reports by the Daily Mirror, Ant was spotted breaking down in tears over one particular audition.

The publication reported that Ant got teary-eyed after hearing a magician's heartbreaking story about his wife and daughter's cancer.
A source said: "Ant got very emotional, which was unusual. This story seems to really strike a chord with Ant.
"We wondered if the pressure has finally got to him? Was he letting out lots of tears about more than just this story?"
After months of speculation, Ant confirmed he was divorcing Lisa after 11 years of marriage back in January, claiming he needs to concentrate on his health.
A statement on his behalf read: "In response to the recent speculation in the media, Ant is very sad to announce that, after 11 years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin.
"Ant asks for privacy at this difficult time, for both himself, Lisa and their immediate families. No further statement will be made."
Since then, Ant has been very positive and upbeat during public appearances, recently thanking his fans for their support during his speech at the NTAs.
Ant addressed his "tough year", telling the audience: "It’s been a very emotional night tonight. It’s been quite a year.
"It’s been quite a tough 12 months so winning this tonight really means a lot, so thank you for all your support, it really means the world to me, it’s helped me get through."
Ant then turned to Dec and said: "And thanks to you little guy, I love you man."
