Declan Donnelly enjoys a day out with bikini-clad wife Ali Astall and their son Jack on a break from I’m a Celeb filming – while co-host Ant McPartlin squeezes in a solo workout
Declan Donnelly enjoyed a well-deserved break from filming I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! for a spot of shopping with his wife Ali Astall on Friday.
The presenter, 48, cut a casual figure as he headed out with Ali and their son Jack, 17 months, after finishing work on the ITV show.
He swapped his work partner Ant McPartlin for real partner Ali, who looked incredible in strapless blue bikini and cut-off denim shorts as she pushed a pram along with little Jack nestled inside.
The couple, who married in 2015, enjoyed a break from filming before the next show, which will air on Friday night.
Meanwhile across town, Ant, 48 – who is married to Anne-Marie Corbett – enjoyed some solo time as he squeezed in a workout.

It comes after Ant left Dec in hysterics when he suffered a hilarious gaffe as Nick Pickard tackled the In Too Deep trial during Wednesday’s show.
The Hollyoaks star faced the challenge alongside Nigel Farage, with the duo tasked with collecting stars at the bottom of water tanks.
During the Trial, Nick asked when he could grab his next star, and Ant said: ‘We’ll let you know when you can go, Tony. [Nigel] hasn’t got [his star] yet.’
The gaffe led to an awkward silence, with Ant’s co-host Declan Donnelly muttering ‘Tony,’ and laughing.
Ant quickly realised his error and starting cackling with laughter, before Nick corrected him.
Dec added: ‘He’s a big fan, a big fan.’
This year’s I’m A Celebrity has proven to be the most dramatic yet, with two stars deciding to quit the show over three days on ‘medical grounds.’
One source describes the situation on the popular programme as a ‘mess,’ while they fear there could be more departures in the coming days as the atmosphere in the jungle becomes even more tense.
It also comes after concerns about the welfare of participants on other ITV shows including Love Island after the 2022 series was rocked with complaints of ‘misogynistic behaviour and bullying’.

One said: ‘The usual protocol is in place, it all just seems to be bad luck this year. Perhaps they just haven’t gelled in the same way this year’
It comes just two days after food critic Grace Dent decided to leave the show, while Nella Rose was briefly taken the camp to receive treatment from medics on Tuesday, sparking fears she would also quit altogether.
ITV is likely to now face questions over what has been different this year. Never before have two contestants left within two days of one another – or another competitor be taken off for medical treatment so close to the departures.
However, sources at the broadcaster insist that the same – if not more stringent – psychiatric tests have been carried out for the contestants.
One said: ‘The usual protocol is in place, it all just seems to be bad luck this year. Perhaps they just haven’t gelled in the same way this year.’
A spokesperson for the Channel told MailOnline: ‘We have rigorous and robust processes in place to assess all of our camp mates ahead of being confirmed to participate in the show.
‘We have an on site medical team and psychologist to ensure that health and wellbeing, and duty of care towards the participants, is prioritised at all times.’
