Ant McPartlin was seen with his baby son Wilder for the first time.
The 49-year-old I’m A Celebrity host returned to screens with his best mate Declan Donnelly on Sunday night (November 17). The Geordie duo were back in action as the likes of McFly star Danny Jones, GK Barry and Coleen Rooney entered the jungle.
But despite hosting the ITV hit, Ant clearly hasn’t ditched his fatherhood duties while Down Under. That’s because the presenter was seen cradling baby Wilder on his 49th birthday (November 18) as he walked along the dunes during a break from filming.

The pair were seen spending some quality time together, with Ant carrying the little one on a scenic walk on the sand. Ant was ready for the Aussie heat as he was dressed in a white t-shirt and a pair of patterned shorts, opting for a pair of sunglasses to shield his eyes from the sun.
Ant and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett welcomed their first baby, Wilder Patrick, back in May of this year. They announced his arrival with a sweet black and white social media snap of Ant holding his firstborn.
The caption read: “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!”.
In September, he told Daily Star he was loving fatherhood despite the sleepless nights. 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.”
He also admitted Dec, who has two children with wife Ali, had been giving him some “good advice” about parenting. However, Dec said his tips aren’t always the best. Dec said: “I do share tips and things. They’re very bad. My tips are normally: give the baby to somebody else! That’s it.”

Ant and Anne-Marie tied the knot in August 2021. He split from his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong in 2018 before striking up a flame with Anne-Marie, who was his PA.
Ant and Dec previously revealed Saturday Night Takeaway would be shelved as they wanted to spend more time with their families. In a post on Instagram, Ant wrote: “We love making Saturday Night Takeaway, but reaching the milestone of 20 series seemed like the perfect time to pause for a little while and catch our breath.”
In a subsequent interview with Fault magazine, Ant hinted he wanted to spend more time with his family, telling the publication: “On a more personal level, part of the reason we’re pausing Takeaway is we need a break ourselves, and we need to spend some time with our family.
“We’ve both got children that we need to spend time with for a little bit. We need time to think and, and time to step back and look at the bigger picture and just see where we are now.”
