I just don't get it, pair of talentless twunts but become nations darlings over past 20 years, the epitomise what is wrong with ITV which is all about egos.

What ever they are on is total rubbish.

Ugh. YANBU.

fantasmasgoria1 · 07/12/2019 20:52

Yanbu. Never could understand why they are so popular.

I worked with them a few years ago. They were professional, polite and rehearsed for hours on end. Also they were deadly serious, only turning on the cheeky persona for the audience.

I can't look at Ant in the same way any more though. The drink driving followed by the cruel comments and digs towards his ex wife. The man has no dignity.

Don't watch them then - there are lots of other channels. If you don't get their appeal that's not a problem, am sure there are people you like some of us don't care for Wink

I'm a huge fan of them both but I do struggle with Ants contribution lately.

I wish they, and Holly, Phil etc etc would step down and give someone else a turn.

I'm even a bit bored of Graham Norton to be honest.

Yanbu

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 07/12/2019 20:57

I really like Dec.

Ant not so much.

DecemberSnow · 07/12/2019 20:59

I just dont think they are funny

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 07/12/2019 20:59

I think Holly was much better last year, I just can't look at Ant in the same way after seeing the video of him in the car. Dear God, why on earth did they think it was a good idea to bring him back?Confused

rhubarbcrumbles · 07/12/2019 21:00

YANBU not to want to watch them on TV but YABU to start an unpleasant thread about them.

I couldn't agree more. There really needs to be a big refresh of the small pool of presenters that are on constantly. If I never see Tess Daly on TV ever again I won't be gutted.

Fantababy · 07/12/2019 21:08

I quite like them. I think they're naturally funny, and often laugh out loud despite myself.

OhioOhioOhio · 07/12/2019 21:10

But why do thru have to be on everything? Their egos must be enormous.

sauvignonblancplz · 07/12/2019 21:15

I like them . They aren’t on lots of things & whilst Ant made a mistake he shouldn’t be condemned for it.

Sparklingbrook · 07/12/2019 21:16

I agree with @rhubarbcrumbles.

Don’t watch if they offend you that much.

1Morewineplease · 07/12/2019 21:18

As above... don’t watch if they offend you.

Evilspiritgin · 07/12/2019 21:18

I’ve had to watch them this week (visitors), i don’t know if it’s just me but ant is acting like he’s as high as a kite still

HopefullyAnonymous · 07/12/2019 21:20

I love them 🤷🏼‍♀️

Jinxed2 · 07/12/2019 21:22

I like them! Loved their DNA journey

june2007 · 07/12/2019 21:24

I think they are great together. The trouble with being in the spotlight is that all your misdameaners are on show. But they haven,t stopped him being good at this job.

ssd · 07/12/2019 21:24

I like them.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 07/12/2019 21:25

Evilspiritgin yeah, I feel very uncomfortable watching. Wish I had stronger morals but I love I'm a celebHmmBlush

LucilleBluth · 07/12/2019 21:26

I love them. I don't usually watch ITV shite but I do like Ant and Dec.

PumpkinP · 07/12/2019 21:27

I can’t watch anything with them on, can’t stand them!
