Ant McPartlin, 48, beams as he's seen for the first time after 'confirming' he's expecting a baby...

Ant McPartlin was looking cheerful when spotted, marking his first public appearance since allegedly telling close friends that he and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett are expecting their first child together.

According to reports, the 48-year-old TV presenter is extremely happy about the idea of becoming a dad. He shared this news with his Britain's Got Talent colleagues this week and also revealed that his partner, Anne-Marie, who is 46 years old, is expected to give birth in June.

Ant was spotted wearing a smile while he and his BGT partner Declan Donnelly, who is currently 48 years old, took a photo with a member of the audience at the audition location in Manchester on Saturday.

The celebrity judges of the TV show, namely Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon, were spotted at the location when they arrived in tiny automobiles embellished with the British flag.

Back in December of last year, there were rumors floating around that Anne-Marie might be pregnant with her and her partner's first child. This was due to her looking like she was several months along when she returned from a trip to Dubai. It's worth noting that they haven't made any public statements regarding this news.

According to reports, the presenter of the TV show is extremely happy with the announcement. He shared the news with his colleagues on Britain's Got Talent and disclosed that the baby is expected to arrive in June. A photo of the two of them was taken in 2021.

As per The Sun, Ant had already shared the amazing announcement with his intimate pal and co-host on screen, Declan Donnelly after several weeks of rumors.

Anne-Marie, who has two kids from a previous marriage, reportedly had her five-month checkup which gave the couple the courage to reveal the news.

According to an insider, "This is the news everyone has been waiting for. Ant and Anne-Marie are thrilled beyond measure."

We all know that Ant desires to have children, but he has accepted the possibility that it may not happen for him.

They proceeded to portray Ant as a 'fantastic caring dad' towards Anne-Marie's offspring and affirmed that the duo made every effort to conceal the news for an extended period of time.

Including: Ant's dream has come true by having a child just two years before turning 50 with his beloved partner.

Furthermore, sources have indicated that Ant is slated to make a comeback to I'm A Celebrity for November, while insiders have revealed that Dec is ready to deliver some hilarious dad jokes.

Ant's representatives were contacted by MailOnline for a statement.

The judges of Britain's Got Talent, namely Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, and Alesha Dixon, were spotted in Manchester riding mini cars embellished with the Union Jack during the show's auditions. The photo shows Amanda and Simon at the center.

Amanda and Simon were spotted behind the wheels in Manchester as they headed to record auditions for the upcoming series of Britain's Got Talent.

The news is that Ant has told his friends that he and his wife Anne-Marie are expecting their first child. Ant has wanted to start a family for a long time and it seems like his wish is finally coming true. In January, the couple was spotted together.

Ant had already shared the news with his dear friend and television co-host Declan Donnelly after a lot of rumors and assumptions (Anne-Marie is seen in a picture from December).

Ant has always been honest about his wish to become a parent.

Back in 2013, he disclosed his and his ex-partner Lisa Armstrong's challenges by saying: "There's a hearsay that I'm delaying having children until I discover my significant other, Mrs. Right."

I really like the concept, however, I'm hesitant to agree with it. Lisa and I have a strong desire to start a family, and we're making an effort to do so. It's much more challenging than one might imagine when you're a bit older.

The famous television personality attributes his ability to overcome his addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs to his spouse, whom he wedded in a luxurious wedding worth £500k in 2021.

Improved version: My partner has been my source of strength, and her inner beauty is unmatched. We're both thrilled with our relationship and overall life satisfaction. This period of my life is undoubtedly the most positive and fulfilling I've experienced thus far.

For several months now, there have been speculations going around that the pair might be anticipating a child - especially since Anne-Marie opted out of accompanying her spouse to Australia to be present during his hosting of ITV's I'm A Celebrity.

However, he found himself by his lonesome during the outing, while his colleague Dec had the company of his wife Ali Astall and their two kiddos, Isla who is five years old and Jack who is just one.

Anne-Marie, a woman who has two kids from her past relationship, reportedly had her five-month checkup which made the couple feel secure enough to reveal their secret (seen in a photo together in 2023).

They continued to praise Ant for being an exceptional and caring dad to Anne-Marie's kids. Moreover, they mentioned that the duo made every effort to conceal the news from the public. The picture attached is from their recent marriage ceremony.

People started gossiping when Anne-Marie was spotted at Heathrow airport in December, headed for a New Year's vacation in Dubai. It looked like she might be several months pregnant.

A bystander commented about Ant: 'He had a grin that wouldn't quit, he seemed like the jolliest fellow on earth.

People started gossiping when Anne-Marie was spotted at Heathrow airport in December heading to Dubai for a New Year's trip, giving the impression that she was pregnant for a few months.

She wore a black dress that flowed freely and draped loosely over her frame, paired with a cozy yellow wool cardigan. Walking towards the airplane terminal with her luggage in tow, she grinned contentedly.

A witness commented about Ant: 'He had a constant grin, appearing as the most contented person on the planet.'

The couple started dating after their first encounter during her employment with Ant and his ex-spouse, Lisa Armstrong.

Katie Hind from MailOnline was told by friends that Lisa would be extremely saddened if her ex-partner's joyful announcement was verified. The reason for her discomfort was her own desire to have a child.

It is actually thought that she and Ant attempted to have a child for many years and it was a crushing blow for her when their marriage came to an end in 2018, without having had children.

There have been widespread speculations circulating for a few months now that the couple may be anticipating a baby after Anne-Marie opted not to travel to Australia when Ant was hosting I'm A Celebrity (pictured with Dec and victorious participant Sam Thompson).

On the contrary, he was present by himself whereas his colleague Dec was accompanied by his spouse Ali Astall and their two kids, who are named Isla (aged five) and Jack (aged one) in the year 2021 (referring to Anne-Marie, Ant, Dec, and Ali).

Lisa, a professional makeup artist, faces an additional challenge due to her shared ownership of a brown labrador named Hurley with her former partner. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Anne-Marie used to work for them as a personal assistant before her romantic involvement with the celebrity from "I'm A Celeb."

Back in December, a pal of mine shared that Lisa had an ally named Anne-Marie who played a significant role in assisting her in securing a job with the McPartlin family.

Lisa used to give birthday and Christmas gifts to Anne-Marie's kids and they also traveled together for vacations. However, something happened that caused a sudden shift in their relationship.

Ant and Lisa tied the knot back in 2006. Lisa was previously a singer in the no longer existing pop group, Deuce. The couple exchanged vows in an extravagant ceremony held at Cliveden House, located in the county of Berkshire.

In September 2018, they separated because he sought treatment in a rehab facility to manage his addiction problems.

Afterwards, there was a prolonged legal dispute during the divorce proceedings, primarily regarding the wealth valued at £60 million of the television personality.

In August 2021, the couple got married in a highly publicized ceremony in Hampshire.

During the wedding ceremony, Dec (L) acted as the Best man for his close friend. They had been friends for a long time.

Many well-known individuals such as Phillip Schofield, Stephen Mulhern, Cat Deeley, and Patrick Kielty (as seen in the photo) graced the wedding with their presence.

There were talks that the duo had broken up during the fall of 2017 when Lisa did not go with Ant to Australia for I'm A Celebrity.

At the moment, she refused to acknowledge any difficulties, stating that she was employed and had not traveled to Australia in a long time.

However, Ant's spokesperson declared in the beginning of 2018 that the 11 year marriage of the pair had come to an end.

Ant was soon rumored to be romantically involved with his personal assistant, Anne-Marie, just a few weeks into March of 2018.

It was reported that Lisa showed her lack of acceptance towards the relationship by endorsing a tweet from a fan. The tweet stated that it was a significant violation of the "girl code" to engage in a romantic relationship with your spouse's friend.

The marriage between her and Ant was officially terminated in October 2018, as she was granted a decree nisi due to his confession of adultery.

In August 2023, Lisa broke up with her latest boyfriend, James, who was 40 years old. James unexpectedly terminated their relationship and departed from Lisa's £4.5m residence in London while she was working in Manchester.

People who know the ex-partners very well have shared with MailOnline that the reason for their deteriorating relationship was their disagreement over finances. Lisa is stating that she lent him some money while they were together, but he is rejecting every attempt to repay her.

Lisa and James were in a relationship for three years and he was the most significant person she had been with since her divorce from her well-known husband Ant. The divorce resulted in her receiving a payout that was rumored to be around £31m. James worked as an electrician.

When they first met, James was working for a firm that installs electric doors. He had just moved out of the luxurious family home in Winchester, Hampshire that he had shared with his ex-wife Kirsty. The house was worth £450,000.

The couple got into a relationship after they crossed paths when she was employed by Ant and his ex-wife, Lisa Armstrong (shown in 2021).

Ant always expressed his wish to become a dad and made attempts to have a child with his former spouse (shown in a photo taken at their wedding in 2006), but they were not successful.

Katie Hind, a writer for the MailOnline, stated that Lisa's friends had informed her that Lisa would be extremely saddened if her ex-partner's delightful news became public knowledge. The reason behind her devastation was because Lisa was also eager to experience motherhood herself. This was reportedly stated in 2015.

Lisa was taken aback when James unexpectedly broke up with her and moved out of her house while she was out.

According to an insider who spoke with MailOnline, it's unclear what caused the rift between the two individuals. This source remembered that they had seen the pair vacationing in a luxurious Caribbean destination together about two months ago.

One day he was by her side, but the next day he wasn't there anymore. There were no signs that there was something amiss.

Despite the unexpected breakup, acquaintances revealed that the duo started off in good terms but that is no longer the situation, mostly because of Lisa's request to get her money back.

James' friend mentioned that when Lisa provided him with the funds, he perceived it as a kind gesture and did not consider it to be a loan that required him to repay within a specific deadline.

The situation has become disorganized and Lisa's warning of legal consequences is quite worrying considering her strong financial position.

Reportedly, Ant expressed to his lawyers during their divorce dispute that his ex-wife could obtain anything she desired aside from the ownership of their canine companion.

As they fought over their divorce, Ant apparently informed his legal representatives: 'She can lay claim on anything – barring the pooch' (Lisa seen posing with canine companion Hurley).

In August 2023, Lisa and James, who had been in a romantic relationship, separated. James unexpectedly terminated their relationship and left Lisa's £4.5m property in London while she was away working in Manchester.

According to reports, the ex-partners have supposedly come to an agreement to alternate in taking care of Hurley.

The deal resulted in the chauffeur of the television host transporting the canine back and forth to avoid any direct contact between the pair.

It was previously documented during the month of February in the present year, that Lisa desired her animal companion to reside with her permanently.

According to reports, she claimed that it was just equitable as Ant also possessed two maltipoo pooches - a combination of Maltese and poodle breeds - named Milo and Bumble.
