Ant McPartlin, 48, and his wife of three years, Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, have welcomed their first baby together.

The official Instagram account of Ant and TV partner Declan Donnelly announced the news and shared their newborn’s adorable name, writing: ‘Welcome to the family Wilder Patrick McPartlin.

‘Born, 14/05/24 at 8.54am.

‘Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess!’

The sweet picture saw Ant cuddling his bundle of joy and revealing a family tree tattoo, with the names of his two step-daughters on either side and their dogs, Milo and Bumble.

Fans and friends alike rushed to share their congratulations with the new family of five, with @jenny_22_x writing: ‘UR A DAD NOW ANT YAYAYAYAY OMG CONGRATS IM SO HAPPY FOR U.’

Britain’s Got Talent star Ashley Banjo wrote ‘Congrats guys’ while Jamie Redknapp shared some hearts.

The news comes weeks after Ant and Dec, also 48, ended their final series of Saturday Night Takeaway before going on hiatus, with Ant previously sharing that the break was in line with his new fatherhood duties.

Ant explained how he and Dec – who has two children with wife Ali Astall – needed a break from the show after this new season to spend time with family, saying: ‘Part of the reason we’re pausing Takeaway is we need a break ourselves, and we need to spend some time with our family.

He added: ‘We’ve both got children that we need to spend time with for a little bit.’

It has yet to be confirmed when they’ll be returning to presenting duties, though the Geordie duo are currently on our screens each weekend as the pre-recorded Britain’s Got Talent auditions air.

Rumours about a possibly pregnancy began swirling at the beginning of the year and in early February, the legendary I’m a Celebrity presenter’s step-father David Woodhall confirmed the baby news.

In a chat with The Sun, David spoke about Ant’s stepdaughters saying: ‘[Ant] will make a good dad. He’s good with the girls so he’ll be great.’

‘He’s very happy I think. I’m over the moon.’

Later that same month, fans were able to get some visual confirmation about this pregnancy as Anne-Marie showed off her huge baby bump while out in London.

The bump was visible as the couple was snapped leaving the London Palladium where Ant was presenting Britain’s Got Talent. Fans were delighted for the presenter who at long last was going to become a father.

Although he was previously married for many years, Ant hasn’t any children and but has two stepdaughters, his wife’s teenage children from her first marriage. 

A source told The Sun: ‘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.’

‘When they found out last year, they were absolutely delighted, but obviously kept the news quiet for as long as possible.’

‘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.’

‘He’s already a wonderful, doting father to Anne-Marie’s kids, and together they’re going to be brilliant parents to this latest addition to the family.’

The couple lives in a lavish £6million property in Wimbledon, which is just a few miles from Ant’s former home with his ex-wife in Chiswick.

In an old Radio Times interview while still married to his ex Lisa Armstrong, Ant admitted that he and his ex, who he married in 2006 and split from in 2018, tried for a baby for several years.

‘There’s a rumour that we do everything together and I’m holding off having kids ‘til Dec finds himself Mrs Right. I love that idea, but I’m afraid it’s not true.’

‘Lisa and I would love to have kids. We’re trying. It’s tougher than you think when you get a bit older.’

The new parents began dating in 2018, the same year he first split with Lisa after years together. The couple met when Anne-Marie worked as a personal assistant for Ant and his ex-wife and reportedly planned their 10-year anniversary party in 2016.

Although there were claims of cheating because the couple got together just six months after Ant’s separation from Lisa was made public, the star has rubbished the reports.

The family are now a happy five some, and Ant has spoken about his admiration for his two stepdaughters, who are now aged 16 and 18.

Speaking to The Telegraph in 2021, Ant commented: ‘I’ve got two step-daughters, 13 and 15 and they are more socially aware at that age than I was in my mid-20s.’

He has also spoken publicly about his love for his wife Anne-Marie.

In 2019 the Britain’s Got Talent star said: ‘She’s been my rock. She’s a beautiful soul. We’re very happy. I’m in the best place I’ve been in my life. It’s great.’

Anya Taylor-Joy was confronted by overzealous fans as she landed in France ahead of an appearance at Cannes Film Festival.

The 28-year-old is at the annual film festival to promote her upcoming movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which serves as a prequel to the 2015 hit, Mad Max: Fury Road.

She will be hitting up the red carpet alongside her co-stars, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke, and director George Miller.

Videos making the rounds on social media saw the moment locals went into meltdown at the first sighting of the Queen’s Gambit lead, hoping to get her attention.

In a video shared on TikTok by a user known as Makaveli75paris, Anya could be seen making her way to her car in a stunning strapless orange dress – with a thigh-high slit – complete with brown heels, sunglasses and a giant straw hat.

She was flanked by security guards as she strolled, when a fan appeared armed with a pen and something for her to sign, desperately pleading for an autograph.

Her security team initially pushed the man in question away, but he followed the star down the street, continually shoving the pen in her face.

The clip ended with Anya standing by her car, waiting to leave the area, as more fans surrounded the vehicle, hounding her for a signature.

Those watching the action from afar were left stunned by the footage, with many left ‘anxious’ by the scenes.

Unpacking the video on social media, prominent journalist Yashar Ali tweeted: ‘These fans are so insane omg. This is Anya Taylor-Joy at Cannes.’

Brad King replied: ‘Those are not fans. Those are autograph hounds that would have immediately listed that stuff for sale 60 seconds after she had signed it.’

‘They aren’t fans. They just sell those autographs online for a massive profit,’ Tammy Famous agreed.

Av Michal replied: ‘I literally would never want to be famous in a million years. It’s a special kind of hell.’

Wendy shared: ‘Makes me anxious just watching…’

As Paola Massiel fumed: ‘Grown men behaving this way? Ick.’

Anya isn’t the only famous face descending on Cannes as Meryl Streep was pictured looking flawless in a crisp white suit – and matching black and white hat – for a photo call at the Palais des Festivals earlier today.

The Devil Wears Prada actress last appeared at the bash in 1989, and will be the recipient of the prestigious Palme d’Or award at the opening ceremony this evening.

‘I am immeasurably honored to receive the news of this prestigious award,’ she previously told the Hollywood Reporter of the honor in a statement.

‘To win a prize at Cannes, for the international community of artists, has always represented the highest achievement in the art of filmmaking. To stand in the shadow of those who have previously been honored is humbling and thrilling in equal part.

‘I so look forward to coming to France to thank everyone in person this May!’

British acting legend Dame Judi Dench has weighed in on the hottest topic on every thespian’s lips – should trigger warnings exist.

The 89-year-old star has conquered the stage, small and big screen across her seven-decade-long career.

Whether playing M in James Bond or featuring in countless Shakespeare productions on the West End, Judi’s charisma and sheer talent has dubbed her a national treasure.

Now she has added her two pence into the ongoing discussion (already addressed by stars such as Matt Smith and Ralph Fiennes) around the necessity of trigger warnings for theatre productions; a practice which is now ordinary.

Alongside warning about physical health risks (e.g. strobe lighting), programmes will normally list potential triggers that could mentally affect audience members such as themes of abuse, sexual assault and violence.

The common practice is news to Judi however, who said: ‘Do they do that?’ when asked about the use of trigger warnings in theatre.

‘My God, it must be a pretty long trigger warning before King Lear or Titus Andronicus! Crikey, is that really what happens now?’ she continued in a new interview with Radio Times.

Although she conceded she could ‘see why they exist’ to ‘prepare people’ the acclaimed actor added: ‘If you’re that sensitive, don’t go to the theatre, because you could be very shocked. Where is the surprise of seeing and understanding it in your own way?

‘Why go to the theatre if you’re going to be warned about things that are in the play?

‘Isn’t the whole business of going to the theatre about seeing something that you can be excited, surprised, or stimulated by? It’s like being told they’re all dead at the end of King Lear. I don’t want to be told.’

Judi is far from the first actor to voice their concern about trigger warnings ruining the theatre experience.

Although this perspective has been slammed by people on social media outlining why they are important for victims of trauma.

In February, fellow theatre star Ralph Fiennes, 61, sparked discourse after he said audiences should be ‘shocked and disturbed’.

‘I think the impact of theatre should be that you’re shocked and you should be disturbed,’ the Harry Potter star added.

‘I don’t think you should be prepared for these things and when I was young, (we) never had trigger warnings for shows,’ he said at the time.

The Crown star Matt Smith ‘utterly and completely’ agreed shortly after, following his turn in the provocative West End show An Enemy of the People.

‘To be shocked, to be arrested out of ourselves, to recognise ourselves in front and with an audience.

‘I worry sometimes that we’re moving towards a sort of sanitised version of everything and we’re stripping the danger and the invention and the ingenuity out of everything.’

In another interview with Sky News, Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen echoed the sentiment, saying he thought trigger warnings for references to ‘smoking’ or ‘bereavement’ were ‘ludicrous’.

‘I quite like to be surprised by loud noises and outrageous behaviour on stage.’

After such a decorated career, Judi continues to make strides within the arts industry. She recently made history by becoming the first woman to join an exclusive private members’ club of actors and artists.

She is the first woman to join since the Garrick Club was opened 193 years ago.

Hollywood legend Tom Cruise showed off his rippling body while out filming for a new project under the sun.

The Mission Impossible star, 61, showed no signs of slowing down with age as he was spotted in navy swimming trunks and a hench physique.

He was certainly rocking that hot ‘dad’ bod.

The actor, who has long been known for doing his own stunts in his daring, action-packed movies, seemed to be all smiles as he entered the ocean while at Formentor beach in Pollensa. 

Elsewhere in the day, he chucked on more comfy attire as he swapped the topless action out for a sandy sunhat, simple grey top, striped blue shorts and a classic trainer sock pairing.

You know, as opposed to the usual sandals you would expect to find on the famous beach.

The luxury seaside location has seen many well known names at its shore, including the likes of Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin.

The father-of-three was joined on the day by acclaimed film director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The Top Gun star was seen sharing laughs with the director, both waist deep in water.

At another point Tom was ferried around the waves on a boat.

The actor and Mexican filmmaker have been rumoured to be working together as far back as February when Iñárritu appeared to be in talks with Warner Bros to create his first English language project since The Revenant (the film which secured Leonardo DiCaprio his Oscar).

If looks are anything to go by, this is yet another film where Tom will be hands-on.And he is fitter than ever.

Just last month guests at Victoria Beckham’s extravagant birthday bash reported seeing Tom do the splits and that you would ‘never know’ he was in his sixties.

Last year he wowed audiences as he reprised his role in the latest instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise.

Previously on Graham Norton he spoke about the importance of doing his own stunts.

‘I feel that [when] acting you’re bringing everything, you know, physically and emotionally, to a character in a story,’ he said at the time.

‘And I’m able to do it [stunts], and I’ve trained for 30 years doing things like this that it allows us to put cameras in places where you normally are not able to.’

And at Cannes last year he quipped: ‘Would you ask Gene Kelly why he does all his own dancing?’ when asked about doing in his own deadly action sequences.

While filming for Mission Impossible he attempted his ‘most dangerous’ stunt yet after flying his motorcycle off a steep cliff, free-falling and finally, opening a parachute.

He performed 13,000 motorcycle crosses and 500 skydives through years of preparation for the big moment.

‘I have to get so good at this that there’s just no way that I miss my marks. You train and drill every little aspect over and over and over and over again,’ he told press at the time.

Here’s hoping he gets to execute many more stunts in this latest film.

Kate Moss was pictured holding hands with Bob Marley’s 27 year old grandson Skip during a recent trip to Turkey.

Moss was supposedly so enthused by Marley’s performance at a festival there, that she rushed the stage, forcing security to intervene.

The singer was obviously charmed by her zeal, as he was later seen hand-in-hand with the super model, raising questions about the state of her relationship with her longtime boyfriend.

Upon her arrival back in London the model was pictured with her partner Count Nikolai von Bismarck – but the pair appeared anything but cosy in their first public appearance since January.

It doesn’t seem that Bismarck accompanied Moss during her trip to Turkey.

Moss, 50, and Bismarck, 37, were pictured looking frosty in the front row of the Gucci Cruise fashion show at London’s Tate Modern.

The supermodel was turned completely away from her partner of eight years, which the Count appeared less than enthused about. 

Throughout the fashion show, Kate seemed to intentionally turn her back fully to Bismarck to talk to her model daughter Lila, along with Debbie Harry and Demi Moore who were also in attendance. 

Bismarck sat silently beside her, seemingly staring off into space with a dour expression. 

He was later seen leaving the show without Moss, instead accompanied by Demi Moore.

This isn’t the first time that speculation has swelled about Moss and Bismarck’s romance cooling, as the Count was seen with model Camille Rowe last summer. 

However, he was present at Moss’ 50th birthday party in January, making it obvious the pair are still in each other’s lives in some manner.

Skip Marley was previously with Grammy award-winning singer H.E.R., but is now reportedly single. 

The 27 year old is the son of Bob Marley’s second daughter Cedella and was raised in Miami.

Marley was in Turkey for the inaugural outing of the cultural festival Med Bodrum at the Macakizi hotel, a resort Moss has been known to frequent.

‘Kate ran on stage as she loved it so much,’ another festival guest told the Mail of Moss’ display of exuberance. ‘She was escorted off the stage by security. I don’t know whether there’s a “thing” [between the pair] but she’s a fan for sure. It was all very sweet and non-confrontational.’

Bruce Willis’ eldest daughter, Rumer, shared a rare glimpse of him on grandfather duties following his devastating health battles.

The Die Hard actor, 69, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023, after retiring from acting the previous year, due to aphasia.

Following his diagnosis, he took a step back from the spotlight to concentrate on his health, with his loved ones offering updates.

Taking to Instagram, Rumer – who the star shares with ex-wife Demi Moore – posted a sweet video to mark her second Mother’s Day, a year after welcoming baby Louetta.

In the adorable footage, Bruce was pictured holding the little one while relaxing on the sofa, marveling at the sight of his granddaughter.

Demi and daughters Scout and Tallulah also took a moment to bond with the one-year-old, proudly cuddling her in a series of photos.

‘Oh my girl. Being your mama is the greatest hurt in the whole entire world. You are my everything. Becoming a mother has been the portal I always knew it was and yet so much more than I ever imagined,’ Rumer began a lengthy caption.

‘Growing you in my belly and watching you grow this last year has been the privilege of my life my tiny tender, strong, hilarious, fiery, wild child you and the sweetest most loving being I have ever known.

‘It is such a gift to be loved by you and I know I’m not the only one who feels it. Everyone who meets you if complete taken with you and can’t believe how magic you are. I know there can be moments that are challenging but somehow with you they never too hard.

‘I’m never to tired hold you or kiss you or comfort you. You will always be my baby. And what a joy it’s been already to see you grow.’

‘Every day with you is so fun and wonderful,’ she continued. ‘I love your singing and silly faces and scrunched nose when you smell flowers. You are my bestest little friend and truly the love of my life.

‘Louetta Isley you are a ⭐️ Love you always, Mama.’

Right on cue, famous family members rushed to wish her a happy first Mother’s Day in the comments below.

Demi was among the first to reply, penning: ‘The greatest adventure of your life! Happy Mothers Day which now is everyday!’

Emma Heming Willis, who married Bruce in 2009, agreed: ‘Watching you step into this new role as a Mom so effortlessly has been so beautiful and inspiring. We love you and Lou ever so much!’

Fans also shared their support, while celebrating getting their hands on sweet new footage of the action icon on granddad duties.

Classic_abkellogg commented: ‘So very lovely!!! Absolutely love seeing your dad holding your baby girl I mean that is so precious.’

Mnisby said: ‘What a beautiful video. Your little angel was born into a big, loving, unconditional, close knit family. You all are blessed. She is beautiful.’

As Juliedover added: ‘What a beautiful video and a beautiful baby happy mothers day. Love seeing pictures with Lou and your pa xx.’

The family have had a tough few years as they initially shared the news of Bruce’s aphasia diagnosis in 2022, explaining that he would be ending his film career for the sake of his health.

Last February, they posted a lengthy joint statement, confirming that he had since been diagnosed with FTD – an ‘uncommon’ form of the disease that causes the sufferer problems with behavior and language.

Although there are currently no treatments for the condition, they have all used their platforms to raise as much awareness as possible for other sufferers.

Those closest to Bruce have since rallied around him while his pal, Moonlighting director Glenn Gordon Caron, said he was no longer ‘totally verbal’ or able to read, but vowed that he is ‘still Bruce’.

Emma recently called out ‘clickbait reports’ about his condition, slamming speculation that her partner has ‘no more joy’.

‘Now I can just tell you that is far from the truth. I need society, and whoever is writing these stupid headlines, to stop scaring people,’ she fumed in March.

‘[People will think] once they get a diagnosis of some kind of neuro-cognitive disease that that’s it, it’s over. Let’s pack it up. Nothing else to see here. We’re done. No, it is the complete opposite.

‘There is grief and sadness, there’s all of that. But you start a new chapter, and that chapter is filled with love, it’s filled with connection, it’s filled with joy and happiness. That’s where we are.’

Rylan Clark has shut down rumours he is dating Rob Rinder after his mum was approached outside her home.

The TV star and presenter, 35, was part of the BBC’s coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest last week, with his most recent project also hitting screens soon after.

Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour follows the pair as they follow in the footsteps of 19th century romantic poet Lord Byron and other Grand Tourists, immersing themselves in the ‘art, culture, bad behaviour and life-changing exploits of historic Brits abroad’.

Ahead of its premiere, Rob, 43, shared a photo of them together in Italy with the Lord Byron quote: ‘Friendship may, and often does, grow into love’.

However, after speculation the pair may now be dating, Rob confirmed on the Baftas red carpet on Sunday night they were not a couple.

But Rylan revealed someone turned up at his mother’s home today trying to ask more questions.

‘To the journalist that just doorstepped my mum at her house, as polite as you were, please don’t. She said you was a lovely man but she’s 71 years old and it makes me feel slightly uncomfortable,’ he posted on X on Monday.

‘The answer is no. I’m not dating Rob Rinder he’s one of my closest mates.

‘Next time tweet me. Thanks.’

Speaking to the Daily Mail on Sunday, Rob shared: ‘We aren’t a couple. It is what Rylan said, we are like a very old married couple, we row, laugh together and don’t have sex.’

In the series, Rylan and Rob, who share the same divorce lawyer, travel to Venice, Florence and Rome.

On the show, Rylan shared that after both being through ‘painful divorces’ recently, they were each ready for the ‘next chapter’.

‘We’ve both been through painful divorces recently and are ready for the next chapter,’ says Rylan, who rose to fame on the X Factor and has since become a popular TV and radio presenter.

Rylan was previously married to Dan Neal, with the couple splitting in 2021 after six years, while Rob split from his partner, barrister Seth Cumming, in 2018.

Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour is streaming on BBC iPlayer.

Rumours of a shock romance between Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Towie’s James Argent have inspired the Love Island star’s own Wagatha Christie investigation.

The reality TV stars, 29 and 36 respectively, had apparently been spotted spending time together following Ekin-Su’s controversial stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The pair were said to have grown much closer after James consoled her following the intense backlash she received on social media after her Big Brother exit.

But now a firm denial has come from the PR team that looks after both stars, while James and Ekin-Su insist they’re both still single.

Their team are calling out a friend who’s ‘selling [Ekin-Su and James] out’ for ‘a quick buck’.

A source had previously claimed the pair were ‘practically neighbours’ and that they’d ‘passionately kissed’ after spending more time together.

But the information about a blossoming romance appears to be false, and those who represent the pair are putting their heads together to root out the source of the leaks.

A source told Metro.co.uk: ‘The team are channelling their inner Wagatha Christie and trying to find out who is selling out on Ekin-Su. And they’re pretty sure they know who it is.

‘Ekin-Su and James are friends, and have had a little laugh to themselves about the story. They both remain single. A small number of people who were told about a drunken snog. Everybody is getting closer to the source of the leaks.’

They continued: ‘Sadly, the pair are no strangers to people trying to make a quick buck out of them, and it looks like this is another case of somebody trying to sell out on the pair.’

Ekin-Su split with her Love Island boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti in January this year and has kept her dating life private since.

Shortly after the break-up, she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house alongside former X Factor judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne, and eventual winner David Potts.

However, she was evicted to a crowd of boos and drew further controversy when she blamed the editors of the ITV reality series for her poor reception, adding that she was ‘hurt’ that she wasn’t portrayed as her true self.

Since leaving the house she’s kept a low profile and has reportedly spent a lot of that time getting to know James, who has been on a journey of his own in recent months.

He split from his 19-year-old girlfriend Stella Turian in November last year after the couple had been dating for a little over – they had been long-distance for the majority.

The Towie star has also lost a staggering 14 stone in the last three years after getting gastric band surgery in 2021. The life-changing operation has seen him return to a healthy weight.

Halle Berry’s boyfriend, Van Hunt, sent fans into a spin as he celebrated Mother’s Day in style, by posting a very cheeky naked photo of the Hollywood icon.

The Catwoman actress, 57, made her romance with the musician, 54, public in 2020, and they have given us glimpses into their romance on social media ever since.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, which was Mother’s Day in the US, the Seconds of Pleasure singer took the opportunity to mark the day by uploading a very risqué snap.

In the picture, the mom-of-two – who recently spoke out over her health issues – could be seen posing completely nude on a sun-drenched balcony, with her bum pressed against the railings.

‘Happy Mother’s day from the bottom… of my heart,’ Van captioned the upload. ‘…Oh s**t, I wasn’t s’posed to post that!

‘Butt…U hav to admit thassa badass… mutha right there! [sic].’

Unsurprisingly, fans heaped praise on the Monster’s Ball icon in the comments below, with some famous faces in the mix.

Queen Latifah was among the replies, simply sharing a string of fire emoji,

Apatchofblue responded: ‘Way yo go Halle! If I looked like that, I’d be naked too [sic].’

Iamdcfinest penned: ‘Why do I love this so much. Live your best life, Halle!!!’

As Divadoment joked: ‘Ooooowie Halle showin’ ALL HER GROCERIES!! HAPPY HOT MOTHER’S DAY SIS!! [sic].’

Halle shares daughter Nahla Ariella with former partner Gabriel Aubry, and also welcomed son Marco-Robert with ex-husband Olivier Martinez.

She took a different route with her own Mother’s Day post, writing a heartfelt tribute to Van’s mom on her Instagram page.

Alongside a carousel of snaps, the Oscar-winner enthused: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to all the glorious mothers of the world and especially my beautiful mother-in-law, DJ!

‘You’ve come into our lives and brought the sunshine with you. I so admire the way you love with such grace and style! When you shower us with your pearls, we are instantly made better! We love you so very much.’

Followers went wild over her use of the term ‘mother in law’, but the couple are not thought to be married.

Halle and Van went public with their relationship in September, 2020, but had reportedly been dating for ‘several months’ before this.

In 2021, she revealed that they held a ‘commitment ceremony’ which was overseen by her son – who suggested they should tie the knot.

During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan, she clarified: ‘This was a ceremony by an 8-year-old in the back seat of the car who said, “Mom, you should get married to him.”

‘I said, “Really, I should marry to him?” He said, “Yeah, I pronounce you man and wife.” So we’re like, “Oh, okay. We’re married!” But we’re not married.

‘So that’s our commitment ceremony. It’s silly. It’s sweet.

‘What I love about it is, when you blend families, it’s really hard. So the good news is, my kids are comfortable and that’s all that matters. If they ain’t happy, we ain’t happy. That’s all you need. You just need them to be happy.’

If only all weddings were that simple!

Peter Andre has opened up on his mental health struggles and a breakdown which he says lasted almost two decades.

The singer, 51, said his mental health began to suffer when he reached global fame in the 1990s and he only ‘truly started to come through it’ in his 40s.

The reality TV star and father of five said he then suffered another setback in his recovery after his beloved brother Andrew died from a brain tumour in 2012.

‘It really does feel important to talk about it. I had a breakdown when I shot to fame in the 90s, and back then, it was a very taboo subject to talk about – people would just think you’re “cuckoo”…,’ he said.

Marking Mental Health Awareness Week this week, he continued in his column for new! magazine: ‘My breakdown lasted a long time. It was only when I got to my forties that I truly started to come through it. I think I was lost – I was getting better, then my brother Andrew passed away and that triggered a lot of things – but the best thing is, there’s a lot of help out there now.

‘I think it’s really important to celebrate mental health, and no matter whether you’re cured or not cured, it’s important to remember that it can reappear any time, but there are so many support options out there.’

The Mysterious Girl hitmaker – who has Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, with first wife Katie Price and Amelia, 10, Theo, six, and six-week-old Arabella with spouse Emily – is thankful people are more open about the subject these days.

‘I’m so proud that we’re in a time where for all the other things that are going wrong in our world, one of the things that’s going right is that people are able to talk and bring things to the forefront, some even using social media as a way to express themselves,’ he added.

Peter previously opened up about his anxiety struggles, when he revealed that he was hospitalised for his issues.

Speaking on The Ray D’Arcy Show, he said: ‘When you talk to people now, and you talk about anxiety, and you talk about breakdowns, and things like that, some people look at it like a weakness. Some people look at it like a taboo – but the truth is, it’s so real.

‘So many people are going through it. I went through it for years. It was a moment, it was in 1998.’

He went on to explain how he was suffering from panic attacks as his career grew from strength to strength, and that he hid the fact from his parents.

‘I was at the top of everything and all of a sudden it just hit me like a tonne of bricks. I couldn’t function. I couldn’t think straight. I was having panic attacks. I ended up in all sorts of hospitals, on medication, different therapists,’ he said.

‘So when I did get through it and things came back and I got to do all these wonderful things, I don’t take it for granted.’
