Declan Donnelly announces birth of second child with wife Ali

DECLAN DONNELLY has announced the arrival of his second child, a baby boy called Jack with wife Ali Astall.

Donnelly, 46, who is one half of Geordie presenting duo Ant and Dec, shared the news via the pair's joint social media accounts on Sunday.

Jack is the couple's second child, who previously welcomed their daughter Isla in 2018.

The delighted daddy announced the little boy as "a very welcome ray of light", coming just weeks after the death of his older brother Father Fr Dermott Donnelly.

The 46-year-old TV presenter, best known as one half of presenting duo Ant and Dec, shared the news via the pair's joint social media accounts.

He revealed the baby has been named Jack Anthony Alphonsus, with the middle name being that of his older brother who passed away following a short illness a few weeks ago.
