Britain's Got Talent presenter Dec Donnelly and his wife Ali Astall are expecting their first baby later this year, and now the couple have revealed just when their little one is due to arrive.

Just days after Ali debuted her growing baby bump on the red carpet at the TV BAFTA Awards, Dec has confirmed that the couple's baby is due in September, that's just four months away!

After Dec confirmed the due date, Ali expressed her excitement at becoming a mum for the first time. Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Ali said, "I just wish it would come out now, that we could fast-forward to having the baby. We want to get on with it, we can’t wait.”

It comes after the couple were forced to announce their news earlier than they wanted back in March.

Taking to his Instagram page to share a photo from the couple's wedding, Dec wrote, 'Just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely messages. The news has sneaked out a little earlier than we had hoped but Ali and I are delighted to be expecting our first child. Thanks for all the love, we really appreciate it ❤️ D x' sic

It will be the couple's first child together after they tied the knot in a private ceremony in Newcastle back in 2015.
