Wearing a denim shirt and black trousers, Dec held the baby carrier, which had a string of spiral toys wrapped around the handle.

His wife Ali looked glowing as she sported a casual look in a grey jumper and jeans with her hair tied up in a ponytail.

The couple’s daughter Isla Elizabeth Anne was born on September 1.

Dec was over the moon to become a dad for the first time as he announced the happy news on Twitter.

He said: “Ali and I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our baby girl, Isla Elizabeth Anne, who was born just after 9 o’clock this morning. Mother and daughter both doing well, Dad is head over heels! D.”

Dec’s TV pal and best friend Ant McPartlin also tweeted at the time: “Welcome to the world baby Isla Elizabeth Ann. Can’t wait for cuddles. I love you already. Uncle Ant.”

Earlier this week, Dec celebrated his 43rd birthday and told fans he received an adorable message apparently from his baby girl.

His tweeted: “I’ve had the loveliest of birthdays. I got a card from my 3 week old daughter, she’s very advanced.

“Although her handwriting looks suspiciously like that of the dog (I suspect he wrote it really).”

“Anyhoo, thank you all for the lovely birthday messages, you’re bloody great D xx.”

Dec received hundreds of birthday messages from both fans and his celebrity pals.

Ant, who is stepping away from his work commitments until 2019 to focus on his recovery following his drink-drive arrest in March, posted a hilarious throwback picture of his comedy partner.

The photo showed Dec beaming as he stood behind a dress being displayed on a hanger, making it look as if he was wearing the frock.

Ant accompanied it with the message: “Happy Birthday from the big one to the little one!”

Dec now has a few months to enjoy adjusting to fatherhood before he jets over to Australia to co-host I’m A Celebrity with Holly Willoughby.

Holly revealed earlier this month that her three kids – Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and Chester, three, – and Dec’s daughter will be joining them Down Under.
