On Monday, May 27th, Ant McPartlin made his comeback on TV after becoming a father. He and Declan Donnelly teamed up again as the hosts of this year's live shows for Britain's Got Talent.
When the presenter returned to work after becoming a new father, judge Simon Cowell expressed his joy by congratulating him on the show. He said, "I want to say something, Ant. Congratulations! I am genuinely happy for you."
With a grin on his face, Ant responded, "I appreciate it, I am aware of that. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude for the wonderful present you gave me." He then added playfully, "Hey judges, when are you going to give me something?" The other judges, namely Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli, remained silent.
Simon Cowell praised Ant on the television program, to which Ant responded by expressing gratitude towards the music tycoon for the thoughtful gift he had presented to Ant for his baby. -Photo credit goes to ITV.
Simon tried to support Ant by saying, "It came from all of us," but the host pointed out that it was signed by Simon only, not the others. Dec found this funny and chuckled.
Ant and his partner Anne-Marie have just become parents to a bouncing baby boy named Wilder. The thrilled dad, who is also a stepfather to Anne-Marie's daughters, Poppy and Daisy, posted a message on social media to thank everyone for their amazing support and congratulations during this exciting time.
He happily declared, "I am pleased to introduce our new addition to the family, Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin, born on May 14, 2024, at 8:54 am. Our baby is gorgeous, and Mom is amazing. His sisters are ecstatic, but I am emotional!"
Ant has gone back to work, only a few days after Dec informed King Charles about his new life as a father to baby Wilder. When Dec saw the king, who was laughing uncontrollably, he told him that Ant couldn't make it to Buckingham Palace because he was busy taking care of his baby, including giving him food.
Ant and his life partner, Anne-Marie, joyfully received their newborn son, Wilder, at the beginning of this month. This information was shared on Ant's Instagram account.
He stated that he conveyed Ant's apology for not being able to attend today's event as he was breastfeeding at home. He then chuckled and added that he wasn't sure if he violated any royal customs by sharing that detail.
Although Dec couldn't resist cracking a joke while talking to the queen, a source informed OK! that he is treating his responsibility as Wilder's godfather with great importance.
According to a source who spoke to OK!, Dec is very enthusiastic about Ant's news and has already offered him some guidance on how to cope with being awake for extended periods of time. Dec is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to serve as the godfather and has guaranteed that he will approach his responsibilities with the utmost seriousness.
According to our informant, Ant, who was previously wed to a makeup artist named Lisa Armstrong, had always intended for Dec to be the godfather of his future biological offspring. As a tribute to his closest friend, Ant gave his son, Jack, the middle name Anthony.
