Ant McPartlin’s wife has flown out to Australia with their seven-month-old son, Wilder, to celebrate the I’m A Celebrity host’s 49th birthday with him.
Anne Marie Corbett, 46, made the 22-hour flight down under with their first child together after she was unable to join him last year because she was secretly pregnant with Wilder Patrick.
Before the evening celebrations commenced, Ant cradled his newborn son as he carried him to look at the beach while Anne Marie remained in their £1,000 penthouse apartment on the Gold Coast.
Looking tanned and relaxed in a white linen shirt and blue shorts, Ant held his only child to his chest as he walked several metres down from their accommodation to the seafront with his bodyguard.
It comes after Ant spent his 48th birthday last year with Declan Donnelly, 49, and his wife Ali Astal and their two children as Anne Marie remained in the UK, secretly pregnant with their son.

It’s not Anne Marie’s first time out in Oz, as she has been at his side for several years before, and in 2019 she even took her two daughters from her marriage to ex-husband Scott Corbett.
In 2022, it was Anne Marie’s first trip Down Under with Ant as a married couple – the pair had wed in 2021 after meeting in 2017 when she worked as his Personal Assistant.
In 2019, while Ant was still in the process of settling the divorce with his wife of 12 years Lisa Armstrong, Anne-Marie joined him Down Under and even pulled her two daughters out of school for the trip.
Lisa, who he split from in 2018, would also join him in Australia while they were married.
Ant and Anne-Marie married in the summer of 2021 at the five-star Heckfield Place Hotel in Hampshire.
Their star-studded guest list included Frank and Christine Lampard, David Walliams and Phillip Schofield.
Anne-Marie wore a £15,000 Suzanne Neville wedding gown.
Ant and Dec kicked off the new series of I’m A Celeb on Sunday night, with stars including Coleen Rooney, Tulisa, Oti Mabuse and Danny Jones heading into the famous jungle.
The presenter welcomed his first child Wilder with his wife Anne-Marie, already a mother of two, on May 14

Viewers watched as Coleen managed to capsize her canoe in the opening minutes of the show, shortly after a cheeky quip from Ant & Dec, who teased: ‘It’ll be nice for Coleen to face a trial that doesn’t involve Rebekah Vardy’.
Ant then promised: ‘There will be plenty more [of these jokes]!’ as fans rushed to social media branding the pair ‘legends’.
The pair were true to their words and later when revealing the campmates were getting to know to each other and delving into their personal lives, said: ‘First up it’s the account of …. Coleen Rooney’ – in reference to her viral social media post where she accused Rebekah of leaking ‘false stories’ about her private life to the press.
Coleen and Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough got off to a rough start as their boat capsized in the tense first challenge as the 10 celebs were tasked to race down the river on a rowing boat, before quickly capsizing.
The boat drama was part of a big budget opening to the series which also saw Danny Jones, Tulisa, Jane Moore, Dean, and Oti Mabuse skydive into the jungle.
After finally making it to camp Coleen gave her campmates, and viewers at home, some rare insight into her personal life, revealing how her husband Wayne ‘fought to get her’.
