Is Ant McPartlin set to become a dad in 2024?

It seems like it after his wife Anne-Marie Corbett was spotted sporting what looked like a baby bump at the airport in photos obtained by MailOnline.

The former personal assistant was seen as she arrived at Heathrow Airport yesterday on the way to a New Year break in Dubai, appearing to be several months pregnant.

Ant has been open in the past about his desire to have children while married to his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong but admitted that it wasn’t easy.

“There’s a rumour that I’m holding off having kids till Dec finds himself Mrs Right.

“I love that idea, but I’m afraid it’s not true. Lisa and I would love to have kids. We’re trying. It’s tougher than you think when you get a bit older.”

The couple were together for 12 years before their split in 2018 after the TV star checked in rehab.

It is understood they had been trying to conceive for a number of years before their relationship ended.

Ant then started a relationship with Anne-Marie after they met when she took a job working for him and his ex-wife.

He credits his wife and her two teenage daughters from a previous marriage for helping him through his battle with alcohol and prescription drug addiction.

Now a friend of Lisa told MailOnline that she will be “very upset” if it is confirmed that her ex-husband is set to become a father.

“Anne-Marie was Lisa’s friend, and she was heavily involved in getting her the job working for the McPartlins,” they said.

“Lisa would send Anne-Marie’s children birthday and Christmas presents, she even went on holiday with them, and then bang, it all changed.”
