The television presenter confused and worried fans when he hosted Saturday Night Takeaway with Ant McPartlin last weekend without his silver band.
However, during the latest instalment of the ITV entertainment show, the 40-year-old had his ring firmly back on before joking about the attention surrounding his missing piece of jewellery.
Dec, who has been married to Ali Astall since August 2015, appeared in a Coronation Street-themed sketch with actor Jack P Shepherd.
The soap star, 28, was sat in the Rovers Return reading the paper, which featured the front page headline: "Why was Dec not wearing his wedding ring?"

Just days earlier, eagle-eyed viewers had been left worried by Dec's lack of ring, however he latest insisted there was "nothing sinister" in it.
Explaining what happened, the Geordie revealed: "I didn't realise until afterwards when someone said there's a bit of a thing online.
"I left it upstairs in the dressing room - I didn't think anyone would notice. It's only a tiny little thing!"
