Saturday Night Takeaway was overlooked in favour of a table at a local restaurant as Ant McPartlin dined out with wife Anne-Marie in his native Newcastle over the weekend.

The couple were accompanied by one of Anne-Marie’s two teenage daughters from her previous marriage to Scott Corbett during a trip to TV chef Gino D’Acampo‘s Quayside restaurant on Saturday evening.

Ant, 48, who welcomed son Wilder with the former personal assistant in May, appeared to be in high spirits as they left the popular Italian eatery later that night.

The Geordie star looked relaxed in a blue denim shirt and contrasting black jeans while making his way home with Anne-Marie, 44, and her young daughter.

Anne-Marie matched her husband in a black sweater and blue flared jeans as they walked arm-in-arm towards a waiting car.

Ant recently gave a rare insight into life with his son Wilder after becoming a father for the first time at 48.

He told the Daily Star: ‘I’m really good, I’m really happy. There are lots of nappies and sleepless nights but it’s absolutely wonderful. I’m loving it. It’s been the best year.

Ant split from his first wife, make-up artist Lisa Armstrong, in 2018, after 11 years of marriage.

He went public with his relationship with Anne-Marie, who entered their lives as a personal assistant, six months later.

The former couple never had children but adopted chocolate Labrador Hurley in 2013 – and they have been locked in an ongoing battle for custody of the dog.

Ant had previously said: ‘Lisa and I would love to have kids. We’re trying. It’s tougher than you think when you get a bit older.’

Lisa shares joint custody of Hurley with Ant but reports say she wants sole possession of him – something he is said to have resisted.

But she has reportedly vowed to fight on for sole custody of the chocolate Labrador, who regularly features in her Instagram posts, where she refers to him as ‘Mama’s baby boy’.

Ant is said to have refused to surrender full custody of Hurley to his ex during their reported £31million divorce battle, reportedly telling lawyers: ‘She can have anything she wants – except the dog.’

Lisa was said to have expressed a wish 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 first-born.

‘She felt very betrayed by both Ant and Anne-Marie and felt that none of this has been handled sensitively, especially the announcement of the baby,’ sources have told The Sun.

‘The one thing that has got her through it and been by her side constantly is Hurley – she doesn’t know what she would do without him. He’s more than just a dog to her and has been a lifeline at times.’

They added: ‘Ant obviously loves Hurley as well but he now has a lot of other responsibilities and things going on in his life and Lisa can’t see why she can’t have full custody of him. She needs Hurley by her side.’
