Dec shares two children with his wife Ali Astall, whom he married in 2015
As beloved TV presenting duo Ant and Dec host I’m A Celebrity live from Australia, their families will no doubt be missing them at home.
Declan Donnelly, 49, shares two children with his wife Ali Astall, who worked as Dec’s manager for more than a decade before they found love and eventually married in 2015.
While fans would no doubt love to see the star’s wife and their two young children Isla, six, and Jack, two, enjoying Australia with him, Dec and Ali have taken special care to keep their children out of the spotlight ever since their birth.
In fact, the public has only ever seen two photos of Dec’s children, which he shared on his social media accounts when Isla and Jack were born.

Dec and Ali became parents three years after their wedding at St Michael’s Church, Elswick, Newcastle.

“It opened up a whole other side to me, a side I didn’t know existed. I felt a love that I didn’t realise it was possible to feel. Everything I do, every day, is for my daughter now.”
