Ant McPartlin enjoyed a sunny dog walk with wife Ann-Marie and son Wilder in London on Thursday.
The TV personality, 48, who became a father for the first time last month, kept a low profile as he shielded his famous face under sunglasses and a baseball cap.
Ant wore a corduroy waistcoat over a black jumper and sweatpants for the walk as he held onto the leashes of their maltipoos Milo and Bumble.
Anne-Marie, 46, who has two daughters from a previous relationship, also wore a waistcoat and sunglasses as she pushed her son in his pram.
The couple, who married in 2021, stopped to chat with other dog walkers and took the opportunity to check that the toddler was comfortable in his carrier.

It comes amid Ant’s custody battle over his beloved chocolate lab Hurley with ex-wife Lisa Armstrong.
The former couple adopted the dog in 2013 after struggling to have a child of their own. However, the couple separated in 2018 after 18 years of marriage.
Lisa shares joint custody of Hurley with Ant but reports say she wants sole ownership of him – something he is said to have resisted.
The makeup artist celebrated the pooch’s 11th birthday when she took to Instagram with a sweet post on Monday.
To show her love for her four-legged friend, she shared a series of snaps of Hurley over the years, from as a puppy to now.
She wrote: ‘My baby boy is 11!!!… Congratulations Hurley, absolute beauty.’
Ant is said to have refused to hand over full custody of Hurley to his ex during their reported £31million divorce battle, reportedly telling lawyers: ‘She can have everything she wants – except the dog.’
Lisa reportedly expressed her desire to care for the Lab full-time in February – and friends close to the make-up artist say that desire is stronger than ever following the birth of Ant’s firstborn.

“She felt very betrayed by both Ant and Anne-Marie and felt none of this had been handled sensitively, especially the baby announcement,” sources said. The sun.
“The one thing that has gotten her through and been by her side all the time is Hurley: she doesn’t know what she would do without him. He is more than just a dog to her and has been a lifeline at times.”
They added: ‘Ant clearly loves Hurley too, but he has a lot of other responsibilities and things going on in his life now and Lisa doesn’t understand why she can’t have full custody of him. She needs Hurley by her side.”
The former couple reportedly agreed to take turns caring for Hurley, with the agreement being that Ant’s driver would transport the dog between them so they didn’t have to see each other.
As well as welcoming his son last month, Ant also revealed his new tattoo, a tribute to his family.
