![TAKEN WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM TWITTER Ant McParlin at the weekend as he joined his sister and her children for a fun day out at the water park.

Ant McPartlin looked happy and relaxed in a rare family photo as he enjoyed a day at a water park.
Pictured with his sister, her husband and her kids, Ant looked smiley and content in the snap taken at Liquid Leisure, a water adventure park in Slough.
Sarha tagged the photo as Best day ever and making memories along with the hashtag Ninja Warrior, possibly referring to the giant inflatable obstacle course the place boasts.
The happy image comes just days after Ant announced his decision to step back from TV commitments for the foreseeable future, including Im A Celebrity, taking place in November.
In a statement, Ant said: My recovery is going very well and for that to continue having spoken to Dec and ITV, I have made the decision to take the rest of the year off.
Id like to thank both Dec and ITV for their continued support and I look forward to getting back to work in the new year.

Dec also released a statement saying he is sad he wont be joined by his best friend in Australia later on this year.
He said: Whilst I am obviously sad at the thought of being without my best friend in Australia this year, I am proud of the work Ant has been doing privately and I am fully supportive of his decision.
Im looking forward to us both being reunited on screen in 2019.
