Declan Donnelly has confirmed the birth of his second child, a baby boy, with wife Ali Astall.

The TV presenter confirmed the surprise birth in an Instagram post shared with followers on Sunday evening and revealed they had named the child Jack Anthony Alphonsus.

The newborn child's name is in part a tribute to Dec's long-term presenting partner Ant McPartlin and his Northern Irish father, Alphonsus Donnelly.

Taking to his social media platforms, Dec - who also raises three-year old daughter Isla with his wife - 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.'

Dec accompanied the message with a photo of his newborn son's tiny hand clutching onto his finger.
