On Tuesday afternoon, the Saturday Night Takeaway host – best known as one half of the duo Ant and Dec – revealed that Anne-Marie, his former personal assistant, had given birth to a baby boy earlier that day.
“Welcome to the family Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of himself holding his newborn.
Revealing that his son had been born at 8.54am that morning, Ant added: “Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess!”
Wilder is Ant’s first child, while Anne-Marie is already a mum to two daughters from her first marriage to Scott Corbett.
The star-studded ceremony was attended by a host of famous faces, including This Morning host Dermot O’Leary, Saturday Night Takeaway host Stephen Mulhern and Ant’s former SM:TV Live co-host Cat Deeley.
His presenting partner Declan Donnell served as best man at the ceremony, which took place at St Michael’s Church in Heckfield.
So far, 2024 has been a year of both professional and personal changes for Ant.
