Privacy NoticeBritain’s Got Talent’s Simon Cowell paused the live show to offer a sweet shout-out to Ant McPartlin. As the hosts, Ant and Dec, launched into the first live episode of the series tonight, they were about to engage with the panel that included judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli when Simon chimed in with his warm message for new dad Ant. Ant and his wife Anne-Marie recently welcomed their baby boy Wilder into the world. The excited daddy took to social media shortly after the birth to express gratitude for the outpouring of support and congratulations at the jubilant time. In his announcement, he joyfully spoke: “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!”.
