Ant McPartlin's touching gesture to Declan Donnelly after becoming a dad

When he's not jetting off to Australia for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, or busy making Britina's Got Talent, TV star Ant McPartlin calls a stunning £6 million mansion in Wimbledon his home. Ant, 48, moved into the plush pad with his now-wife Anne-Marie Corbett back in 2019, following his split from Lisa Armstrong, who stayed in their former marital home before moving elsewhere.

Declan Donnelly couldn't resist a playful dig at Simon Cowell during Friday's semi-final of Britain's Got Talent, suggesting the judge has had 'some work done'.The Geordie presenting duo were introducing magician Trixy when Dec, 48, made the cheeky comment to the music mogul. Dec, who recently left King Charles in stitches with a hilarious comment about Ant McPartlin and his newborn son, introduced Trixy by saying: “Next up is a magician whose audition featured an old car that belonged to Simon Cowell back in the 1990s.” Ant chimed in and said: “Your face when you saw that beautiful car!” Dec then quipped: “Of course it had a lot of work done since the 1990s,” leading Ant to ask: “The car?", and Dec to cheekily responded: “If you like!” It appeared Simon took the joke in good humour, after previously denying having a facelift, although he did admit to using Botox and fillers in the past.

At the time, he told them: “None of my family like magic, they’re not here,” so Ant kindly responded: “Tonight, we’re your family, Jack.” Jack replied to their sweet gesture by saying, “You can be my two dads,” as he walked to the stage and went on to wow Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli with his sleight of hand and mind tricks.
