Privacy NoticeIconic TV duo Ant and Dec made history at the 2024 National Television Awards, picking up the gong for TV Presenter for the 23rd year in a row. The Chase host Bradley Walsh brought the humour to the awards, attempting to swipe their trophy as they approached the stage. “Sit down Bradley, sit down!” Dec laughed as they went on to thank their friends and family, including their children and wives: “Thank you to our beautiful wives and lovely supportive families, sorry we work so much but we’ve got some time off now,” Ant exclaimed, as they gave a special shout out to ‘The Toon’.

The duo then went on to reminisce about how they’d be ‘partying all night’ back in the day, but things are looking pretty different now. “It used to be we’d be going out partying and now we’re going back to dirty nappies and the school run tomorrow. My girl Isla is six now, she left for school this morning and said ‘Good luck, I hope you win the trophy’. In fact, she said, ‘Take my lip balm, I think it’ll be good luck,’” Dec told the audience. Then taking the ‘lucky lip balm’ from his pocket, proud dad Dec said: “Isla, it worked! We won!” Dec shares two children with his wife Ali. Their first child, daughter Isla Elizabeth Anne Donnelly, was born in September 2018, and they then welcomed their son Jack Anthony Alphonsus four years later in July 2022.

Ant recently became a father for the first time with his wife Anne Marie, as the couple welcomed son Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin in May this year. Sharing the happy news to the joint Ant and Dec Instagram account, the TV host shared a picture of his shoulder as he held his son, along with the caption: “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!” Although Wilder is Ant’s first child, his wife Anne-Marie has two children, Poppy, and Daisy, from her previous marriage. At the O2 London, the new dad gushed that they truly feel like the “luckiest two men on telly” and expressed his heartfelt thanks to the NTAs, ITV, and their loyal fans. However, the pair, who have known each other since their teens joked they “know we’re not gonna win it one year but it’s not tonight, thank God.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
