Dec first announced his wife Ali is expecting their first child back in March this year. After the news got out a little sooner than they wanted, Dec posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, '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.

Meanwhile, since the announcement, Dec has gained even more popularity after he effortlessly presented both Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain's Got Talent without his co-star Ant McPartlin.

With Ant taking time away from the spotlight, Dec was praised by fans for his professionalism, with many calling for him to present I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here on his own later in the year.

Dec and Ali's baby is due later in the year. 👶
