Ant McPartlin and Anne-Marie Corbett took the opportunity for a romantic date night on Wednesday, as they enjoy the final weeks of pregnancy.
The ITV star, 48, held hands with his pregnant wife, 46, as they left the Kit Kat Club at London’s Playhouse Theatre where they had watched Cara Delevingne star in the musical, Cabaret.
Flashing a smile, Anne-Marie, who is thought to be around seven months pregnant, looked chic in a pink blazer teamed with black trousers and flat pumps for the date night.
Ant, who was dressed in a navy jacket and striped top, sweetly held his wife’s hand as they headed to their car.
The couple, who married in 2021, are counting down the weeks until they welcome their first child together.

Anne-Marie, who is due to welcome her first child with Ant in June, cradled her bump
Ant is set to become a father for the first time in June. The baby will be Ant’s first while Anne-Marie has two children from her previous marriage.
But there could be a clash for the excited new dad as Anne-Marie’s due date apparently coincides with one of Ant’s biggest shows – the live finals of Britain’s Got Talent.
Last year’s final aired on June 4, with the five live semi finals traditionally taking place nightly in the week leading up to the finale date.
A source has said that the ‘timing is causing something of a headache for bosses,’ and they are considering having a back up presenter on stand by in case Ant can’t be there.
Names in the frame include new This Morning host Cat Deeley or Dancing On Ice’s Stephen Mulhern.
‘They are considering whether Dec would present alone if Anne-Marie went into labour or, if time allows, a guest presenter could step in,’ the source revealed.
‘Cat and Stephen, who the lads have worked with in the past, are front-runners.’
Cat hosted SMTV with Ant and Dec from 1998-2001 while Stephen appeared with the duo regularly on Saturday Night Takeaway.
MailOnline contacted ITV for comment at the time.

Last month, Ant broke his silence on becoming a father for the first time in a candid interview as he spoke about taking a break from hosting Saturday Night Takeaway.
Ant opened up about the real reasons for the show’s pause in an interview with Fault Magazine as he publicly addressed his wife’s pregnancy for the first time.
He said: ‘We [he and Declan Donnelly] have both got children that we need to spend time with for a little bit.
‘We need time to think and, and time to step back and look at the bigger picture and just see where we are now.’
Dec shares two children – Isla, age five, and Jack, one, with his wife Ali Astall.
It was previously rumoured in December that Anne-Marie could be expecting their first child, after she appeared to be pregnant while returning from a trip to Dubai.
According to The Sun Ant, who was previously married to makeup artist Lisa Armstrong, had already confided the wonderful news to Dec following weeks of speculation, with a source telling the publication: ‘This is the news everyone wanted. Ant and Anne- Marie are beyond delighted.’

‘It’s no secret that Ant has always wanted children, but that it may never happen for him was something he had, sadly, come to terms with.’
They went on to describe Ant as a ‘wonderful doting father’ to Anne-Marie’s children and said the couple did everything they could to keep the news a secret for as long as possible.
Adding: ‘To be having a child two years short of his 50th birthday, with the love of his life, is the stuff of dreams for Ant.’
The TV star credits his wife, who he married in a lavish £500k wedding in 2021, for getting him through his alcohol and prescription drug addictions.
