Sorry ladies, Declan Donnelly is OFFICIALLY off the market.

The Britain’s Got Talent host presenter is gearing up to wed his long-term girlfriend, Ali Astall, in his home town of Newcastle today - with his sidekick, Ant, well, by his side.

The 39-year-old presenter will declare his love (get it?) by tying the knot today, at St Mary’s Cathedral – in a service conducted by his brother, Father Dermott Donnelly.

Posting to Twitter this morning, Dec wrote: “Morning! I know I've got somewhere to be today but I can't for the life of me remember where....”

Best man, Ant McPartlin, is also set to deliver a hilarious speech after the ceremony to guests including the likes of Keith Lemon, Holly Willoughby, Ashley Roberts and Simon Cowell.

A source said: “This wedding is a proper family affair and all of Dec’s closest friends have got special roles. Everyone can’t wait to see him walk down the aisle.”

Talking to heat back in May, Dec hinted at his honeymoon being in Australia – just in time for the new series of* I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!*
