I’m A Celeb host Ant McPartlin has been accompanied by his wife Anne-Marie Corbett in Australia for the latest series of the ITV show which will soon come to an end for another year.
The Geordie star, 49, began his romance with Anne-Marie, 46, back in 2018. They exchanged vows three years later and earlier this year they celebrated the arrival of their son Wilder, who is now more than six months old.
Wilder’s introduction to the world was shared on Instagram with an endearing snapshot of Ant holding the newborn. This image afforded fans a peek at a new tattoo on Ant’s shoulder, depicting a tree, the Mirror reports.
This tree included names on banners, like ‘Amzie,’ believed to be the affectionate moniker Ant uses for Anne-Marie, as well as references to his stepchildren and the family’s two beloved dogs.
In the heartfelt Instagram announcement made in May, Ant penned: “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! “
After welcoming Wilder, Ant was rumoured to be taking some time off for paternity leave. He rejoined the limelight a bit later at the Prince’s Trust Awards, co-hosting with long-time partner Declan Donnelly, also 49.
Not long after, he made his comeback to Britain’s Got Talent. Ant is currently busy presenting alongside his long-time co-host Dec on the latest series of I’m A Celebrity, which premiered last month.

The duo are mere days away from taking the helm for the grand finale, scheduled to broadcast on Sunday night. The pair have been stationed in Australia for a number of weeks due to the filming of the show. Families, including Ant’s wife Anne-Marie, have also flown out to Brisbane to join Ant and Dec.
The couple has been seen enjoying time together during the ongoing series of I’m A Celebrity. Reports have indicated that Anne-Marie couldn’t join her spouse down under for the previous year’s instalment because she was expecting their child Wilder at the time.
In recent developments on I’m A Celebrity, Ant and Dec unveiled an intriguing twist granting one contestant immunity from the next two public eliminations, ensuring their participation in the much-anticipated trial, Celebrity Cyclone. This revelation has caused some dissatisfaction among fans, with concerns that this takes away from the public’s influence on the game.
Despite the reservations voiced by fans, Ant and Dec discussed the new format on the companion show Unpacked last Wednesday, where they justified the change with: “Well, we like it! ” Ant added a hint of mystery and anticipation by saying: “It’s very exciting, it’s winner takes all.”
