Ant McPartlin and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett have welcomed their first child.

The TV presenter, one half of entertainment duo Ant and Dec, announced the news on the joint Instagram account he has with his co-presenter.

The 48-year-old shared a black and white photo showing him holding the newborn, and revealed the baby’s name.

He wrote: “Welcome to the family. Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin.

“Born, 14/05/24 at 8.54am.

“Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess!”

McPartlin and Corbett were married in 2021 in a church ceremony in Hampshire.

Among the guests were presenters Dermot O’Leary, husband and wife duo Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley, and comedian David Walliams.
