Declan Donnelly has announced the birth of his baby son with wife Ali Astall. The BGT and I'm A Celeb host hailed his second child as a "welcome ray of light" following the death of his brother earlier this month.
The news will come as a huge surprise to most fans as the couple had not announced that they were expecting another child.
Sharing a touching picture of him holding his newborn’s hand on Twitter, he wrote: “Shortly before 10am yesterday. 23.7.2022, Ali and I welcomed the arrival of our son, Jack Anthony Alphonsus, a very welcome ray of light.
“He is wonderful and Isla is beyond excited to be a big sister! D x.”
The Mirror reports that the much-loved TV presenter is set to bid an emotional final goodbye to his beloved brother before flying off to film I’m a Celebrity.
The funeral of Father Dermott Donnelly, who died aged 55, will be held on Friday, July 29, in Newcastle.
He was a priest at St Joseph’s Church in Stanley, Co Durham, and had recently celebrated three decades of service to his parish.
Father Dermott was admitted to hospital after a serious illness. His body will be received into St Michael’s, Newcastle, on Thursday.
