Ant McPartlin has said that a psychic was about to make him "cry" during a rather unusual chat about his personal life. In a recent instalment of his and long-time co-host Declan Donnelly's new podcast series, Hanging Out, on Monday, January 26, the beloved Geordie duo chatted to psychic Jayne Wallace.

In one segment, Anttook part in a psychic reading in which Jayne made assertions about him by interpreting crystals. Before they started, she asked him how personal he would like the reading to be, to which he replied, “As personal as you want.”

Jayne then instructed Ant to pick up his crystals and “pop” his energy into them. She warned him that she was going to tell him off, but reassured him that he shouldn’t "take it personally"before proceeding with the reading.

She said: "The little one there's like an amethyst, so that's using your intuition more. You're doing a lot more meditation, more in touch with your spirituality, more breathwork.

"So you're kinda getting time out where you think, 'Right, I just wanna learn to breathe again', which is good. Next one. Opalite is more about joyfulness, child-like energy, but it's also knowing that you don't always have to be childish."

Decinterjected by saying "yes", as Ant erupted into laughterin the background before presenting another crystal for Jayne to analyse.

Jayne said: “That’s emotion, so that’s trying to find your feet and grounding. So you’ve had a roller-coaster of a hell, and I don’t think anyone really knows what you’ve been through,” to which Ant replied: “Yeah.”

Jayne added: “There’s times where it’s like, ‘I’ve given up’, and times where ‘I’m fighting’. So you’ve gotta just keep going. Whatever way you look at it, you’ve got your family; they’re your oxygen, and the babies are the reason why you breathe every day. Next one.”

Ant responded that she was going to make him “cry”. She confirmed that it was all about “self-belief”, before comforting Ant that he would be “alright”.

Jayne then concluded her reading, saying that Ant knows “everything” now, but Dec jumped in, saying not to tell him that for “God’s sake”.

He added that Ant "already thought that", as Jayne clarified that he knows where his "priorities lie".

It comes after Ant revealed on a separate podcast episode that he has had to "curb" a certain habit at home, as he keeps getting "told off" by his partner, Anne-Marie Corbett.

Speaking to Fearne Cotton on the Happy Place podcast, Ant, who has a son named Wilder, said: "Well, my little one is 19 months now, so he's... all his words are starting to come slowly, but then... and I'm getting told off a lot for swearing in the house, so I have to curb the swearing."

He added: "So, what I'm not going to do, Fearne, is start swearing on a podcast. Yeah, so I need to... yeah, I need to curb it."

You can next catch the duo on Ant and Dec's Limitless Win on ITV on Sunday, February 1, from 8pm to 9pm.
