DECLAN Donnelly and wife Ali Astall, 43, has welcomed a surprise second baby boy and shared the news with a sweet photo.
The Britain's Got Talent presenter, 46, took to his Instagram on Sunday to share the wonderful news with his fans as a little hand could be seen clutching his.
Dec and Ali tied the knot in 2015 in a very intimate ceremony in Newcastle, North East England and share a daughter together, named Isla Elizabeth Anne Donnelly.
Ali announced her first pregnancy in March 2018 and their daughter was born on September 1, 2018.
While Ali's first pregnancy was public, the couple managed to keep their second one top secret.
Here are the ways the couple manage to keep their exciting news under wraps.
Avoiding events
Ali was noticeably absent at the Bafta TV Awards in May, despite normally joining her husband at the ceremony.
Her absence was noticed more when Ant's wife Anne Marie Corbett joined the Geordie duo.
Questions were raised as to why Ali wasn't in attendance but it seems her reluctance to attend was because she was hiding a beautiful surprise.
The couple also chose not to attend Wimbledon together this year, despite Ali accompanying Dec to the tennis event in previous years.

Baggy clothing
Around the same time Ali missed the Bafta TV Awards, the wife of Dec was spotted out and about running errands near their West London home.
She was seen in a very baggy grey hoodie and black leggings while out, using the large jumper to conceal her baby bump.
No pregnancy announcement
Fans were astounded to discover Ali had given birth to a second child, as the couple hadn't announced their baby news.
When Ali was first pregnant in 2018, Dec announced the news on Twitter by writing: "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"
