Ant McPartlin, TV presenter and one half of Ant and Dec, is to become a father for the first time with his partner Anne-Marie Corbett.
The 48-year-old star said he was “beyond delighted” with the news that his partner, 46, was pregnant, a source told the Sun.
McPartlin’s wife is understood to have had her five-month scan, and is expecting their child as soon as June.
Reports of Corbett’s scan come after weeks of speculation about the couple, which was “the news everyone wanted”, the Sun source said.

The source continued: “It’s no secret that Ant has always wanted children, but that it may never happen for him was something he had, sadly, come to terms with.
“When they found out last year, they were absolutely delighted, but obviously kept the news quiet for as long as possible.
“To be having a child two years short of his 50th birthday, with the love of his life, is the stuff of dreams for Ant.
“He’s already a wonderful, doting father to Anne-Marie’s kids, and together they’re going to be brilliant parents to this latest addition to the family.”
