Trending Today

Holly Willoughby and Cat Deeley were among the stars congratulating TV presenter Anthony McPartlin and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett after they welcomed their first child.

McPartlin had announced the news on the joint Instagram account he shares with co-presenter Declan Donnelly, sharing a black and white picture showing a tattoo on his shoulder and the baby’s covered head.

The baby boy, named Wilder Patrick McPartlin, was born on Tuesday at 8.54am.

“Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess,” the post said.

Among the famous faces celebrating the news was former This Morning presenter Willoughby, who said: “Congratulations… welcome to the world Wilder… such beautiful news,” alongside a red heart.

Willoughby temporarily replaced McPartlin for the 2018 series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, which he has hosted with Donnelly since 2002.

Past I’m A Celebrity stars including Joel Dommett, Vicky Pattison and Fred Sirieix also congratulated McPartlin.

TV presenter Deeley commented on the baby news saying: “Amazing! What wonderful news … Congratulations.”

Deeley rose to fame as a presenter of Saturday morning ITV children’s programme SM:TV Live alongside Ant and Dec, and its spin-off music programme CD:UK with Willoughby – who she has since replaced on This Morning.

Other co-stars congratulating McPartlin was Britain’s Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.

Dixon wrote: “Awwwww darling I’m so happy for you both! Baby shares the same birthday as my mummy! Can’t wait to meet buba and to celebrate soon! Love you both.”

Holden wrote: “Oh my gosh, this is just the most amazing news. Congratulations.”

TV presenter Davina McCall wrote: “Arggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!! This is AMAZING !!!! Congratulations to ALL of you.”

McPartlin and Corbett were married in 2021 in a ceremony in a rural church in Hampshire.

TV host Dermot O’Leary, husband and wife duo Patrick Kielty and Deeley and comedian David Walliams were among the celebrity guests.

Donnelly has two children, Isla and Jack, with his wife Ali Astall.

Last year, Geordie duo Ant and Dec announced that they would be halting popular ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway after the 20th series, which came to an end last month.

The pair said they were taking “a breather” from the show.

Max George says pacemaker has been fitted and is best Christmas present ever

The Wanted star Max George has revealed his pacemaker has been fitted after an operation to address a 2:1 heart block. On Saturday, the singer shared a photo to Instagram of his scar, which sits just below a “special tattoo” on the left side of his chest that says 04/08/1998, in reference to the birthday of his late bandmate Tom Parker, who died in 2022. George, 36, who announced he had been taken to hospital due to “issues with my heart”, earlier in the month, said the pacemaker was “the best Christmas present”. He wrote: “Say hello to my little friend! “Given the last 10 days, this is the best Christmas present I could’ve ever wished for. “Pacemaker is in. Operation took around two and a half hours. The main issue being some of my veins had collapsed where the wires were meant to go… But the surgeons and nurses at the NHS have been incredible. I owe everything to them. “The surgeon kindly put my pacemaker just underneath a very special tattoo of mine.. So I’m sure it’s being looked after. “Few more tests to do due to inflamed lymph nodes on my lungs, but that’ll be easy work! “Time to rest and then tackle life full on once again. “Thank you for all your support. It’s meant a hell of a lot to myself and my family.” Published: 21/12/2024 by Radio NewsHub

More misery for Manchester City as Aston Villa comfortably see off the champions

Manchester City’s abysmal run of form continued with a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa thanks to goals in each half from Jhon Duran and Morgan Rogers. Both sides let late leads slip to defeat last week but Villa ensured victory in rather comfortable fashion to condemn the current Premier League champions to a sixth defeat in their last eight league matches. City gave themselves a glimmer of hope when Phil Foden got them on the board with a minute to play but it proved too late and Unai Emery’s side climbed above City in the Premier League table. Guardiola made four changes from Sunday’s late implosion to neighbours Manchester United as Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne dropped out of the side alongside Ederson and the injured Ruben Dias. Unai Emery opted for Amadou Onana while Diego Carlos missed out completely and Duran’s recent goalscoring form was rewarded with a third consecutive league start over Ollie Watkins. City’s nightmare run looked to be continuing with just 15 seconds on the clock at Villa Park when Josko Gvardiol was caught napping by John McGinn, who fed in Duran who shot too early and it was palmed behind by Stefan Ortega. Ortega was called into action again less than a minute later when he somehow clawed Pau Torres’ glancing header out from under the goalframe and away to safety. City had their first sniff of goal when John Stones’ long ball picked out Jack Grealish – his first touch was greeted by loud boos from the fans who used to sing his name – and he cut in on his right and flashed the ball wide of the far post. In the 16th minute, City found themselves behind. Youri Tielemans created the opportunity with a sublime pass which sliced through City’s spine to Rogers who squared for Duran to score his third league goal in as many games. The visitors started to get a foothold into the contest and Foden forced Emi Martinez’s first meaningful save after his one-two with Rico Lewis opened up the opportunity for him to fizz it into the far corner but the Villa stopper was on hand to push behind. Another opportunity flashed by the way of the champions – Grealish swung a cross in for Gvardiol who was unable to guide his header under the crossbar. City had the goalframe to thank for not going two goals behind after some neat link-up play between Rogers and Duran opened up the space for the former to crash an effort off the post. Ex-City youth player Rogers was not to be denied with his second of sight of goal though after 65 minutes. The 22-year-old turned from creator to scorer on this occasion and he started the move with a bursting run down the middle and then received a pass from McGinn before he dispatched across Ortega. Two goals down and City’s confidence looked shot to bits with a tame and toothless attack, a frustrated Erling Haaland in particular was unable to bring any spark to the game. City pulled one back with a minute to play as Foden took advantage of Lucas Digne’s slip before he finished beyond Martinez from close range. But it was the Villa faithful singing at the end.
