Former Chiswick Home of Ant McPartlin Catches Fire

A fire erupted at the former residence of ITV presenter Ant McPartlin, prompting dozens of firefighters and six fire engines to rush to the scene in Chiswick this morning. The £5 million property on Grove Park Gardens is currently rented out by the star's ex-wife, Lisa Armstrong.

London Fire Brigade received the call at 9:46 am, deploying a 32-meter ladder to address the incident. According to a local resident interviewed by The Independent, the fire appeared serious and not yet under control. An ambulance was also seen responding to the scene with lights and sirens.

Although the house is currently rented by a family of six, only the nanny and the cleaner were present when the fire broke out. The nanny reportedly noticed smoke emanating from a first-floor bedroom.

Firefighters from Chiswick, Hammersmith, Richmond, and neighboring fire stations swiftly responded to the incident. While the blaze has been brought under control, the cause of the fire remains unknown at this time.
