The celebs are out in force in Manchester right now, as filming continues for Britain’s Got Talent.

And a couple of the presenters took advantage of a break from work to enjoy the city’s sights – with Declan Donnelly and David Walliams taking a stroll with Dec’s wife Ali Astall and baby Isla Elizabeth Anne.

Presenter Dec, 43, was every inch the proud dad, walking alongside Ali, 41, and their five-month-old daughter.

David, 47, smiled, too, as he joined the happy couple, who married in 2015.

The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here host recently spoke about fatherhood, admitting: “No one tells you how hard being a parent is! We could have had a warning!”

He added in the interview with the Evening Standard: “It is literally the hardest thing I’ve ever done but I’m loving it.”

Dec and Ali welcomed their first child on 1 September last year. Dec has since been juggling his busy career with daddy duties.

Two months after Isla’s birth, he had to head off to Australia, along with Holly Willoughby for I’m A Celeb.

There was no sign of the rest of the BGT stars on the walk – including Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Stephen Mulhern, or Dec’s best friend Ant McPartlin.

Best friends, and long-term presenting partners, Ant and Dec spent much of the past year apart, as Ant recovered from his rehab stint and split from wife, Lisa Armstrong.

But now they’re reunited and were back on fine form as they filmed scenes for the new series of Britain’s Got Talent last week.

The BGT Instagram account has been sharing fun pictures from the set, including one of all the presenters on Saturday.

Building anticipation for another round of auditions, the star line up of judges and presenters was dubbed “Our Magnificent Seven.”
