Declan Donnelly’s pregnant wife Ali Astall showed off her blossoming baby bump as the couple attended the second day of Royal Ascot.
The couple announced their pregnancy earlier this year, later confiming that Astall is due in September.
And Astall proved she is blooming as the duo arrived hand-in-hand for Wednesday’s race meeting at Ascot.
The mum-to-be wore a pink and black sundress with a black fascinator while husband Donnelly looked dapper in a grey suit.

Last month, the couple revealed that they are “very excited” to meet their bundle of joy later this year.
Speaking at the Virgin TV’s BAFTAs, Astall told the Daily Mirror: “I just wish it would come out now, that we could fast-forward to having the baby.”
The pictures come just days after Donnelly’s professional partner Ant McPartlin was back in the headlines, rumoured to be dating assistant Anne-Marie Corbett.
McPartlin, who stood down from his television commitments earlier this year, announced his split from make-up artist Lisa Armstrong back in January, calling time on their 11-year marriage.

A source told The Sun: “A source told the newspaper: “Anne-Marie’s put him back together again. Everyone’s thrilled he’s found someone to love.
“She has been his rock. They have been living in each other’s pockets, day in, day out. Knowing someone is there for him has brought him back from the brink.
“It’s very early days, but everyone is hoping he can put the worst year of his life behind him and find happiness again. Both of them deserve it.”
Donnelly and Astall were among celebrities to attend the famous Berkshire racecourse on Wednesday, with I'm A Celebrity star Georgia Toffolo also posing for pictures.
