Ant McPartlin has declared his life is better than ever thanks to fatherhood.
The presenter, 48, and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, welcomed a baby boy in May. Becoming a dad for the first time had made him blissfully happy.
In his first interview about fatherhood, he said: “I’m really good, I’m really happy. There are lots of nappies and sleepless nights but it’s absolutely wonderful.

“I’m loving it. It’s been the best year.” Ant has been coping with parenting by getting tips from his TV sidekick Dec Donnelly, who has two children.

The star said: “Dec has been very good, he’s given me some good advice.” But Dec, 48, admitted his advice isn’t always helpful.
He joked: “I do share tips and things. They’re very bad. My tips are normally: give the baby to somebody else! That’s it.” Ant has turned his life around since his battle with an addiction to painkillers.

Between 2015 and 2019 he hit rock bottom and was forced to take a break from TV. But he is now back on track and gearing up for another series of I’m A Celebrity.
Ant will jet to Australia next month with Dec to start rehearsals. He said: “We’ve enjoyed having a break this summer. We’ve been busy.
“We look forward to doing I’m A Celebrity. It’s getting cold now, so it’s time for a trip to Australia and some winter sun.

“I know a bit about the series. I’ve been chatting to some people and I know some names. They’re really good. I’m really happy.”
Ant and pal Dec scooped up the Best Presenter Award at the NTAs for the 23rd year running on Wednesday night (September 11). They first won the gong back in 2001.
