Ant McPartlin delighted as he goes out with baby son and wife Anne-Marie after filming I'm A Celeb
TV presenter Ant McPartlin was spotted enjoying some down-time with his wife Anne-Marie and son Wilder after filming wrapped for the latest episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. The 49 year old host - who celebrated his birthday just three days ago - welcomed his son in May this year, and looked every inch the doting dad in the latest snaps as he pushed baby Wilder in a pram while out for a coffee with Anne-Marie in Australia.
As they enjoyed some quality family time away from filming, Ant - who tied the knot with Anne-Marie in 2021 - couldn't stop smiling and looked relaxed as he stepped out in sunglasses, a red and white Nike top and navy shorts. While Anne-Marie, 46, looked chic in a cream co-ord set which she paired with matching sandals and dark sunglasses.
Ant's outing come after he confessed that watching Barry McGuigan open up about his daughter's death deeply moved him. Ant and his I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! co-host Declan Donnelly appeared on the ITV2 companion show, I'm A Celebrity ...Unpacked, shortly after some tear-jerking scenes aired on the main programme.

In the second episode of the 2024 series, viewers were touched as Barry received comfort from his campmates while he emotionally discussed his late daughter, who tragically passed away five weeks after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2019.
Ant shared with hosts Joel Dommett, Kemi Rodgers and reigning King of the Jungle Sam Thompson that he had previewed the emotional scenes before the 9pm broadcast. "That really got me," the new father admitted. "We watched it earlier in the day, before the show, and I was crying," he further revealed.
"I can't imagine losing a child and he didn't want to go there but he couldn't help it. I thought the campmates were really lovely with him."
Barry's daughter, Danika 'Nika' McGuigan, sadly died at the age of 33 on July 23, 2019, following her second battle with cancer. The Dublin-based actress, known for her role as Danielle in the BBC Three comedy Can't Cope, Won't Cope, had previously beaten leukaemia after two years of treatment when she was diagnosed at just 11 years old.
As Barry shared his heartache with his jungle mates, they offered their support as the former professional boxer became emotional, with McFly's Danny Jones and N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos comforting him.
"You're a man going through pain and you're vulnerable about it, that takes strength. There is no rules to grieving... it's a reflection of your love," Tulisa reassured him. "Thank you, you're all so lovely, I really appreciate it," responded Barry.
