Ant McPartlin and Anne-Marie Corbett look loved-up as they returned from their winter break in Dubai on Wednesday.
The I’m A Celebrity host, 48, and Anne-Marie, 46, held hands as they touched down in Heathrow Airport after a one week trip abroad to ring in 2024.
Anne-Marie, who appears to be several months pregnant, beamed as she walked through the terminal with her hand tentatively placed on her stomach.
There have been rumours swirling for some months the couple might be expecting – particularly after Anne decided against flying to Australia to be at her husband’s side as while he hosted ITV‘s I’m A Celebrity.
Anne-Marie opted for comfort in a silk patterned shirt and matching skirt which she teamed with trainers and cosy cardigan.

Ant, meanwhile, had topped up his tan from his time in Australia and appeared in high spirits as he chatted away to Anne-Marie after the long-haul flight.
Speculation Ant could become a father began when Anne-Marie didn’t fly to Australia for I’m A Celebrity, while Declan Donnelly was joined by his wife Ali Astall and their two children, Isla, five, and Jack, one.
Anne-Marie has two teenage daughters from her previous marriage to Scott Corbett, whom she split from shortly before she began dating the presenter after being Ant’s PA.
Ant’s marriage to his ex wife Lisa Armstrong ended in 2018, after 14 years together.
Friends claim the Strictly make-up artist, 47, will be ‘very upset’ if her former partner’s happy news is confirmed because she too was desperate to become a mother.
It is believed Lisa and Ant tried for a baby for several years and she was devastated when their marriage ended, still childless.
A friend said: ‘Anne-Marie was Lisa’s friend, and she was heavily involved in getting her the job working for the McPartlins.
‘Lisa would send Anne-Marie’s children birthday and Christmas presents, she even went on holiday with them, and then bang, it all changed.’

Ant has always been open about his desire to be a father.
In 2013 he revealed the couple’s struggles, saying: ‘There’s a rumour that I’m holding off having kids till Dec finds himself Mrs Right.
‘I love that idea, but I’m afraid it’s not true. Lisa and I would love to have kids. We’re trying. It’s tougher than you think when you get a bit older.’
The Saturday Night Takeaway host and Lisa– a former singer in the now defunct pop band Deuce – married in 2006 at a lavish ceremony at Cliveden House in Berkshire.
They split in September 2018 after he checked into rehab for addiction issues.
A lengthy divorce battle followed, mostly over the TV star’s £60million fortune.
The presenter and Anne-Marie married in 2021. Two years earlier he had described her as a ‘lifesaver’.
He said: ‘She’s been my rock. She’s a beautiful soul. We’re very happy. I’m in the best place I’ve been in my life. It’s great.’
