Well, what did you expect?

Earlier today it was announced that Dec Donnelly and his wife Ali Astall are expecting their first child. It comes after a hard week for the TV host, as Ant McPartlin's on-going personal problems mean that Dec will be forced to host the final two episodes of Saturday Night Takeaway alone for the first time. However, announcing that the baby was due, a source close to the couple told The Sun: “They are both absolutely delighted to be expecting — especially as they have been trying for some time.” “They have both always wanted a family but worried that it might not happen for them. They have been keeping the pregnancy a closely guarded secret, but now that Ali is safely over 12 weeks, they are starting to let people know," the source added. With Dec such a huge figure on British TV, people were quick to respond to the announcement on social media, with people wishing them congratulations. https://twitter.com/gamemurray/status/977684587815022592 https://twitter.com/lauraelphy_/status/977683768373891072 https://twitter.com/MarySkelton8/status/977686192228532225 But nobody forgot about Ant McPartlin in all of this. The Geordie duo have been best friends for years and people were also quick to point out how happy Ant would be about his best friend's news, despite his current personal problems. https://twitter.com/DazAlton/status/977764419399798785 https://twitter.com/StephanieVazq/status/977696260873445376 https://twitter.com/katie312/status/977688182870429702 Wholesome content!
