Ant McPartlin has shared an adorable message to Declan Donnelly’s daughter.
Dec announced the birth of his first child, Isla, yesterday.
The newborn was welcomed into the world at around 9AM on Saturday and the presenter told fans: “Mother and daughter both doing well, Dad is head over heels!”

Ant and Dec have been friends for many years, as they first met on the set of Byker Grove in the 80s and have expanded their careers together since then.
The 42-year-old has now congratulated his life-long friend on the birth of his daughter, with the most adorable message on Twitter.
“Welcome to the world baby Isla Elizabeth Anne,” the presenter wrote.
“Can’t wait for cuddles. I love you already!! Uncle Ant xxxxx”
Ant won’t be returning to television this year and Holly Willoughby has been announced as his replacement (and Dec’s co-host) for I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
