I watch Ant. I worry about him.

Neither. They're both insufferable, professional Geordie pillocks.

Raffles1981 · 18/03/2018 10:29

It used to be Dec for me but lately, Ant - with that facial hair - just does it for me. I actually think after all he has been through, he's looking good. He's bound to be a little wobbly after the year he's had.

I have my eye on Ant, I feel for him. Maybe it's because we know what we know now, but it feels forced this year.and not as.much fun as it used to be. Think they both seem on edge. I didn't catch last night but I love Saturday night takeout, the kids do too,we always think the camera is going to be in our house even though we know it can't be and we love it when people get a place on the plane. Hope ant and Dec come back stronger next year.

I try to avoid them
I don't watch any programmes they are in

Raffles1981 · 18/03/2018 10:45

Haisuli - I agree, I think they are both trying a little too hard lately. But I don't doubt their friendship will get Ant through this.

I thought Ant looked a lot brighter and more relaxed last night than he did the previous few weeks.

My DD 8 loves them so we have SNT on for her and me and DH have become strangely fond of it too.

"I still call them "Ant or Dec" since watching Love Actually" Me too, Bagel88 Grin

Viviennemary · 18/03/2018 11:00

I wouldn't know which one is Ant and which is Dec. They're just like background music. So there but not too annoying. They're OK.

adriansnewnotebook · 18/03/2018 11:05

I personally like them both. I probably watch Dec more than Ant. My DS loves Ant and wants to be him when he grows up.

Crazybunnylady123 · 18/03/2018 11:06

I used to watch them on SM:TV with Cat Deeley. They worked well together.
I am also ashamed to admit I had there album when I was little...Blush
But when I was a young team dec and now I’m an adult team ant.

8DaysAWeek · 18/03/2018 11:18

Bagel88 I've watched that movie dozens of times and still laugh out loud at "Ant or Dec"

I've always preferred Ant cos I saw him as the underdog. I cried so much at last nights show Blush very hormonal right now Grin

ReinettePompadour · 18/03/2018 11:48

Dec! Is it not commonly acknowledged that he is the talented presenter?

@Donotbequotingmeinbold are you Dec himself or Mrs Dec? 🤔

Loyaultemelie · 18/03/2018 14:30

I'm oddly worried Ant has shrunk since he came out of rehab. I'm sure there used to be more of a height difference between them. Now I know he's been through loads and seems to be doing well so this is the least of his problems but still I'm sure he used to be taller Confused

MysweetAudrina · 18/03/2018 14:38

I watched a couple of episodes and thought Ant looked rough, on edge and uncomfortable in his skin.

MrsJayy · 18/03/2018 14:56

Tbf Ant has had a drug addiction had a publicouting of his drug addiction gone to rehab had marital problem got divorced all in the public eye no wonder the poor bloke seems a bit jittery and uncomfy.

Totsntantrums · 18/03/2018 18:03

The audience is not staged. Everyone applies for tickets via applause store but they do call a select number and give them guaranteed entry, these are the people who they use for a chance to win the ads so only a small number of the overall audience. They sit them in a certain section.

The people who win the flights are also sat in specific seats although unknown to them.

I have been twice, once as a guaranteed audience member.

RadioDorothy · 18/03/2018 18:08

I am fond of them both, but I also feel a bit anxious for Ant at the moment - he looks gaunt and wired.

gamerwidow · 18/03/2018 18:09

Ant- but I don’t really watch their shows very much. I don’t hate them it’s just not my cup of tea,
They are very good at what they do though.

ihatetosay · 18/03/2018 19:12

neither load of rubbbish

TitsalinaBumSquash · 18/03/2018 19:26

We adore Ant and/or Dec! I loved their 'music' career and when they were on Biker Grove and SMTV Live with Cat Deely was my favourite thing EVER!

LizzieSiddal · 18/03/2018 22:23

Ant hard been arrested for drunk driving. Feel very sorry for him and not at all surprised. He needs to take time away and get proper help.

ferriswheel · 18/03/2018 22:27

Yeah. I feel very sad for him too. Im getting divorced at the moment. I cant imagine the pressure of being in the public eye too. I hope he gets the help he needs too.

I feel sorrier for the 3 year old who's been taken to hospital.

I have no sympathy for anyone who drinks and drives

ferriswheel · 18/03/2018 22:29

I agree with that too.

Yes, me too.
