Ant McPartlin pictured doting over baby Wilder after blasting I'm A Celebrity stars
Ant McPartlin looked every inch the doting dad in his latest snaps with baby Wilder in a rare break from filming I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Ant McPartlin became a dad for the first time back in May - and he couldn't stop smiling as he took his baby son for a stroll Down Under yesterday.
The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! host is in Australia filmings the latest series of the ITV show. After celebrating his 49th birthday earlier this week, the TV presenter looked every inch the doting dad as he and wife Anne-Marie enjoyed some downtime during a break from filming.
Beaming from ear to ear, fatherhood is clearly suiting Ant, who looked tanned and relaxed as he stepped out in sunglasses, a red and white Nike top and navy shorts. While wife Anne-Marie, 46, looked chic in a cream co-ord set which she paired with matching sandals and dark sunglasses.

Though the pair have no doubt had some sleepless nights lately, Ant previously described the last year as 'the best'. And it's no secret that he's wanted to become a dad for a long time. Back when Wilder was born in May, he took to Instagram to share his joy at finally becoming a father. Posting a black-and-white photo of his newborn son, he said: "Welcome to the family."
Introducing his son to theworld, Ant added: "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. (sic)". Ant had previously attempted to start a family with his ex-wife, makeup expert Lisa Armstrong. But it wasn't to be.
Opening up on his parenthood journey in an interview with theRadio Times when he was still with Lisa, Ant revealed: "Lisa and I would love to have kids. We're trying. It's tougher than you think when you get a bit older."
The celebrity couple parted ways in 2018 following an 11-year marriage, with his romance with Anne-Marie emerging shortly afterwards. And it seems Ant couldn't be happier now.He recently told the Daily Star: "I'm really good, I'm really happy. There are lots of nappies and sleepless nights but it's absolutely wonderful."
It comes as Ant appeared to lose his cool in last night's episode of I'm A Celebrity. Ant and co-host Declan Donnelly appeared visibly frustrated over the campmates' attempt at the latest Bushtucker Trial, which saw them go home with no stars, just a day on from Radio 1 DJ Dean M ccullough quitting his trial minutes in.
The public voted Dean to do last night's Drown In The Dumps challenge too, alongside social media star and podcast host GK Barry. They were joined by snakes and eels as the tanks slowly filled with water, with Dean having to secure some keys and get them down to GK. She then had to unlock the padlocks at the bottom, but as time went on the pair failed to get any stars.
As the challenge finished, Ant looked unimpressed, and fans quickly noticed him pulling faces at the stars. They said he had "lost his cool" and looked "angry", clearly frustrated with the pair.
Speaking on spin-off series Unpacked afterwards, Ant was asked about his reaction during the trial. He then called out stars for "not even trying" during the Bushtucker Trials. He fumed: "If you can't do it then you can't do it, but just get on with it! Try it, just try it. There was a lot of not trying for several minutes."
*I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight from 9pm on ITV1
