Ant and Dec are making headlines after Dec Donnelly revealed he accidentally hit Ant McPartlin’s daughter’s boyfriend on the head with a golf ball.
The awkward moment came on the latest episode of their Hanging Out With Ant & Dec podcast. Dec sounded genuinely horrified as he told the story.
Ant and Dec’s golf day suddenly went very wrong
Dec explained that he was only 75 to 80 yards from the green. He thought the shot would be simple.
He said: “I was 75 to 80 yards from the green. I thought this is a sand iron shot. I thought I’ll just open the club face a little bit and just get under it and just land it gently on the green.”

But the ball did not go where he wanted. Dec admitted he opened the club face and sent it right towards two playing partners.
He said: “I open the club face a little bit, which would force it right. It happened to be where two of my playing partners were stood.”
Dec knew the danger straight away. He shouted a warning, but the damage was already on the way.
He said: “As I hit the ball, it went up in the air and headed in their general direction. I shouted ‘fore right’, which means you should duck.”
Then came the painful part of the story. Dec said one player reacted just too late.
He continued: “One of them delayed his duck a little bit. He finally ducked and, honest to God, you heard as it hit him on the back of the head.”
Then Ant revealed why this Ant and Dec story got even worse
Ant was not on the golf course. Even so, he quickly explained why the mishap felt especially awkward.
He said: “Dec has hit someone on the golf course. Not just anyone. My daughter’s boyfriend.”
Ant is married to Anne-Marie Corbett. He refers to her children, Daisy, 18, and Poppy, 16, as his daughters.
