Ant McPartlin has spent a lot of money on his family vehicle as he prepares to welcome his first child with his wife Anne-Marie.
The Britain’s Got Talent star has been spotted driving an Aston Martin DBX 707 SUV near her London home, the flash engine of which cost her at least £193,000.
The range-topping SUV also currently has a one-year waiting list.
Ant was seen parking his new car on Monday, dressed for sunbathing in shorts, paired with a vest and gray sweatshirt.
Ant and Anne-Marie, who tied the knot in 2021, are counting down the weeks until they welcome their first child together.
Ant McPartlin has splashed out big bucks on his version of a family car as he prepares to welcome his first child with wife Anne-Marie.
The Britain’s Got Talent star has been spotted driving an Aston Martin DBX 707 SUV near her London home – with the flash engine costing her at least £193,000.
Ant will become a father for the first time in June. The baby will be Ant’s first, while Anne-Marie has two children from her previous marriage.
But there could be a shock for the excited new dad as Anne-Marie’s due date apparently coincides with one of Ant’s biggest shows – the live finals of Britain’s Got Talent.
Last year’s final was broadcast on June 4, with the five live semi-finals traditionally taking place every night in the week leading up to the final date.
A source has said that “the timing is causing bosses a headache” and they are considering having a back-up presenter on standby in case Ant can’t be there.
Names in the box include new This Morning presenter Cat Deeley and Dancing On Ice’s Stephen Mulhern.
“They are considering whether Dec would present alone if Anne-Marie went into labor or, if time permits, a guest presenter could step in,” the source revealed.
“Cat and Stephen, who the boys have worked with in the past, are the favourites.”
Cat presented SMTV with Ant and Dec from 1998 to 2001, while Stephen appeared with the duo regularly on Saturday Night Takeaway.

MailOnline contacted ITV for comment at the time.
Last month, Ant broke his silence about becoming a father for the first time in a candid interview as he talked about taking a break from hosting Saturday Night Takeaway.
Ant spoke about the real reasons for the show’s hiatus in an interview with Failure Magazine while speaking publicly for the first time about his wife’s pregnancy.
He said: ‘We (he and Declan Donnelly) have children who we need to spend time with for a while.
“We need time to think and time to step back and look at the bigger picture and see where we are now.”
Dec shares two children, Isla, five, and Jack, one, with his wife Ali Astall.
In December it was rumored that Anne-Marie may be expecting her first child, after she appeared to be pregnant while returning from a trip to Dubai.
Ant and Anne-Marie, who tied the knot in 2021, are counting down the weeks until they welcome their first child together (pictured April 17).
According Sun Ant, who was previously married to makeup artist Lisa Armstrong, had already confided the wonderful news to Dec after weeks of speculation, with a Source told the publication: ‘This is the news everyone wanted. Ant and Anne-Marie are beyond delighted.’
“It’s no secret that Ant has always wanted to have children, but that it may never happen to him was something he sadly had to come to terms with.”
They went on to describe Ant as a “wonderful and loving father” to Anne-Marie’s children and said the couple did everything they could to keep the news a secret for as long as possible.
And he adds: “Having a child two years before turning 50, with the love of his life, is a dream for Ant.”
The TV star credits his wife, whom he married in a lavish £500k wedding in 2021, for helping him overcome his addictions to alcohol and prescription drugs.
