Declan Donnelly has shared a rare glimpse of his family life with four-year-old daughter Isla with Saturday Night Takeaway viewers across the nation.
The TV star appeared alongside his co-host Ant McPartlin on a special behind the scenes show of the coveted ITV weekender, giving fans an insight on how the show is put together week in, week out.
And the comedic Geordie Duo were seen getting ready to rehearse part of the Saturday night staple, draped in dazzling costume.

The Mirror reports Narrator Sara Cox explained: "Frozen is coming to North West London in one of Takeaway's most spectacular End of the Show Show ever."
The camera panned to Dec who was dressed in a sparkly blue costume, like that of Elsa’s from the hit Disney animation Frozen. Speaking the camera, Dec explained: "This is how I came to work. I'm a big fan of Frozen so this is my own outfit. I don't know what they've got for me in costume."
Sara continued: "They'll be performing the iconic song Let It Go from the hit musical."
The Geordie star then admitted: "I know the movie quite well. My daughter is four years old now so she is right in prime Elsa territory. When I told her this morning I was going to work to see Elsa, it kind of blew her tiny mind."
Dec and his Australian wife Ali Astall welcomed their daughter Isla back in September 2018, but the Britain's Got Talent host rarely discusses his personal and family life. He is also father to Jack who the couple welcomed in July 2022.
Meanwhile, Ant is now stepfather to wife Anne-Marie Corbett's two daughters after the couple got married in August 2021. I’m A Celebrity host Dec has spoken regularly about how much he loves being a dad.
In his book with Ant, Once Upon A Tyne, he gushed about how becoming a father 'transformed' him. He wrote: "At first, like all expectant parents, I didn’t truly understand how much it was going to change me.
"I just thought it was another little person coming to live in the house. It opened up a whole other side to me, a side I didn’t know existed. I felt a love that I didn’t realise it was possible to feel. Everything I do, every day, is for my daughter now."
But it isn’t without his challenges as he last year he admitted how hard being a parent can be. Dec said: “No one tells you how hard being a parent is. We could have had a warning. It is literally the hardest thing I’ve ever done but I’m loving it.”
Dec married his and Ant’s talent manager Ali in 2015 after the pair reportedly starting dating in 2013 with a Valentine’s Day dinner. Ali was Ant and Dec’s manager for 10 years before romance blossomed.
