Ant McPartlin, the beloved TV presenter, recently received a heartwarming gift from his colleague and friend, Simon Cowell, after becoming a father for the first time. Ant and his wife, Anne-Marie Corbett, welcomed their baby boy, Wilder Patrick McPartlin, just a few weeks ago. The news was announced by Ant himself on his social media, along with a photo of the little one and his family tree tattoo on his arm.
The new dad couldn't contain his joy as he gushed about his beautiful baby and praised his wife, who he referred to as a legend. He also shared that his daughters were over the moon with their new sibling, while he admitted to being a bit of a mess himself. And just as he returned to work for the first live semi-final of Britain's Got Talent, Simon took the opportunity to congratulate him on his new role as a father.
During the opening of the show, Ant and his co-star, Declan Donnelly, chatted with the judges about the upcoming performances. That's when Simon took a moment to publicly congratulate Ant, which was met with cheers from the audience. Ant, with a big smile on his face, graciously thanked his boss and also mentioned the sweet gift he had received from him.
Of course, the other judges couldn't let Simon steal the spotlight, and they joked about not receiving a gift themselves. But viewers were touched by the exchange between Simon and Ant, with many taking to social media to express their heartwarming reactions.
It was a special moment for Ant, who was making his first appearance on live TV since becoming a father. And Simon's kind words and gift made it even more memorable. Baby Wilder's birth has been celebrated by many, including Ant's fellow ITV stars like Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon.
As for Dec, Ant's long-time friend and colleague, he has taken on a major role as the baby's godfather. In return, Ant is also a godparent to Dec's children, Isla and Jack, with the latter having the middle name "Anthony" in honor of their friendship. It's clear that the two are more than just co-stars; they are like family to each other.
With the arrival of his son, Ant may not be seen on TV screens as much in the coming years. He has expressed his desire to spend more time at home and be with his family. And after 20 successful seasons, Ant and Dec have decided to take a break from their popular show, Saturday Night Takeaway, to focus on themselves and their loved ones.
But for now, fans can catch Ant and Dec on the latest season of Britain's Got Talent, which airs on ITV1 and ITVX. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, don't hesitate to reach out to the The Agency entertainment team. They would love to hear from you!
