In his column for new! magazine, Peter gushed: “I hear congratulations are in order for Ant McPartlin and his wife Anne-Marie who recently welcomed a baby boy, Wilder – cool name.”

Ant announces baby news
He shared a black and white picture showing himself cradling his newborn. Ant also showed off a family tree tattoo in the pic.
The tattoo included the family’s names, including Anne-Marie’s two daughters and their pets.
Welcome to the dad club – it’s a beautiful thing.
Meanwhile, he wrote: “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!”
Ant was later forced to clear up assumptions about his tattoo. Some fans thought his dog Hurley – who he shares with ex-wife Lisa Armstrong – wasn’t included in the family tree.
However, Ant recently wrote on X: “Hey all, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the kind messages of love and well wishes for our baby Wilder. He’s doing great.
“Glad you loved the tattoo as well For all you dog lovers who asked why my beloved Hurley wasn’t on the family tree… he was!! He was just covered by our newborn. All my love, gratitude and heartfelt thanks. A.”
