德科兰·当纳利将迎来第一个孩子

Declan Donnelly has announced that he and his wife Ali Astall are to become parents for the first time.

The presenter confirmed the news on Twitter after a report appeared in “The Sun on Sunday.”

He said the couple were “delighted” but “the news had sneaked out a little earlier than we had hoped.”

Donnelly is currently preparing to host ITV’s “Saturday Night Takeaway” solo, after his co-presenter Ant McPartlin was charged with drunk driving.

He will appear in court on April 4.

The 42-year-old is now receiving treatment for addiction and has cancelled all his pending* TV commitments.

Astall, who was Ant and Dec’s manager for more than a decade, married Donnelly in August 2015, with McPartlin acting as their best man.

Meanwhile, the details of the first ever episode of “Saturday Night Takeaway” without McPartlin have been revealed.

Stephen Merchant will be the star guest announcer, while musical guests include The Script and Paloma Faith.

In a statement regarding the remaining episodes of “Takeaway,” ITV said, “ITV can confirm that ‘Saturday Night Takeaway,’ presented by Declan Donnelly, will return on March 31, and the series finale will be taking place at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida a week later.”

Donnelly posted a message about taking the stage without his lifelong presenting partner.

“Whilst I never thought I’d be in this position, after much discussion and careful consideration we’ve decided that the remaining two shows of this series of ‘Saturday Night Takeaway’ will go ahead,” he said.
