Ant McPartlin says Lime bikes drove him out of London

Ant McPartlin once kicked over a row of lime bikes in sheer frustration, as the star revealed the “reason that he left London”.

Speaking to Declan Donnelly on their podcast Hanging Out With Ant And Dec, McPartlin expressed his distaste for e-bikes. He said many were constantly parked outside of his Wimbledon home, which he moved out of earlier this year.

“I got told I had anger issues by the kids. I don't have anger issues. I was just angry at the people who kept leaving them.”

When asked by Donnelly whether his hatred for e-bikes contributed to his decision to leave the capital, he joked: “Yes, I had to move out of London because people were parking bikes outside of my house.”
