It's after the television presenter was involved in collisions with two other vehicles in South-west London.
His Mother was a passenger in the car with him at the time.
The Telegraph reports that in court today, Ant said he was “ashamed and mortified” for his actions.
The "I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here" host was two-times over the legal limit when he failed a roadside breath test at the scene of the crash.
