Saturday Night Takeaway lads on plans for own little Ants and Decs!

Will the duo become parents at the same time?

| Updated:

Comedy duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have revealed that one day they would love to become dads soon.

The Takeaway presenters have said they would be “over the moon” to have children in the near future.

Ant, who married his long-term partner Lisa Armstrong in 2006, stated he would like to start a family with the make-up artist.

Opening up about his wife, the former Byker Grove star said: “I think I’m lucky.

“Lisa works in the industry and understands it. She’s constantly working – sometimes more than me.”

When asked if he would like to become a dad, Ant said: “We would love to start a family so fingers crossed. If we’re blessed with children, then we’d be over the moon.”

Co-presenter Dec is also keen on having kids with his wife, Ali Astall, who he married in August 2015.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, when asked about the prospect of becoming parents, Dec said: “Absolutely at some point, when the time is right.

“We’ll have to put some time in the diary. Things are pretty busy.”

Even though they’re both keen on starting families, Ant previously revealed that he and his wife were having trouble conceiving.

He said: “We’re trying. It’s tougher than you think when you get a bit older.”

Before Dec was a married man, co-host Ant joked about waiting for Dec to settle down before he would have children with Lisa.

He said: “There’s a rumour that we do everything together and I’m holding off having kids till Dec finds himself Mrs. Right.

“I love that idea, but I’m afraid it’s not true.”

In other news, the duo have reportedly added curfews to their Britain’s Got Talent contracts after being forced to stay on set until the early hours of the morning during filming last year.

A source told The Sun: “Ant and Dec love doing the show but some of the finishes last year wore them out.

“They work on a load of shows across the board for ITV so as part of their most recent deal they asked for a clause about late finishes.”

At least it will give them more time to get trying for babies!
