AIBU to not get the love for Ant and Dec?

Are they REALLY as good as their yearly awards would have us believe? I really don't like Ant, and I don't watch them, to be honest. But are they that good or is it just that the TV Quick gang vote for them year after year?

I used to like them but they are still trotting out the same old stuff over a decade after I really liked them.

There recent Drag performance has really put me off them for good.

ThatsNotMyGolem · 24/02/2022 19:24

They're utter morons. Their popularity makes me despair for the general intelligence of the British public.

JellybabyGina87 · 24/02/2022 19:25

I don't think anyone loves them as much as we're told to love them. They don't deserve to win year after year. Someone else deserves a chance.

InFiveMins · 24/02/2022 19:27

I can't stand them.

How Ant is still on TV after drunk driving is beyond me. He's disgusting.

StoneofDestiny · 24/02/2022 19:27

Distinctly unfunny and turn over when they are on.

Nelliephant1 · 24/02/2022 19:28

Won't watch them especially after mcpartlins shenanigans.

TheUsualShitshow · 24/02/2022 19:29

Haven't watched them in a single thing since Byker Grove Grin

hauntedbillybass · 24/02/2022 19:37

Pair of dickheads, can't stand them.

Chloemol · 24/02/2022 19:38

They are idiots, and always have been in my opinion

Overrated and useless and certainly don’t deserve the awards they continually get for some reason

ClariceQuiff · 24/02/2022 19:38

I keep hearing them mentioned but I wouldn't know them if I fell over them.

Grapewrath · 24/02/2022 19:40

Ant is awful. I’m glad his ex wife seems to be enjoying her life again. He’s just an arrogant shit and completely talentless.
Dec is also devoid of any charm or humour. I have no idea why they are viewed as national treasures

Katyrosebug · 24/02/2022 19:40

Cant stand them. I especially detest Ant and don't understand how he's still on the TV

Sparklingbrook · 24/02/2022 19:41

I think they are decent presenters, and I quite enjoyed them in the jungle. There are much worse presenters out there. SNT was good for one series but the novelty has well and truly worn off now.

FinnulaFloss · 24/02/2022 19:42

I just feel meh about them. I don't understand the massive appeal at all.

Momicrone · 24/02/2022 19:43

Remote controls are good

LydiaFTM · 24/02/2022 19:43

Well their tv ratings would say different to the posts on this thread! I find them perfectly likeable. They have a warm, cheeky persona thing going on and are funny but never nasty. They take the mick out of themselves and obviously have a good friendship.

No one's forcing you to watch them. I never know why people bother to make threads pointing out things they dislike that supposedly everyone else likes.

This. I did think smtv brought back a proper kids vibe to sat am tv, but it’s same old now.

I think they win these awards as there’s no one else doing saturday peak time “entertainment”. It’s all celeb reality or x-factor type stuff.

KittenKong · 24/02/2022 19:43

I’ve never got them. Jedward are similar. What are they for?

LolaButt · 24/02/2022 19:45

The drink driver?

Na. I don’t support scum.

The same warm cheeky buffoonish charm BoJo has?

Is that you MIL?

Same here Grin
TonyBravo · 24/02/2022 19:47

I really like them, so do my DC, light hearted fun on whatever they're presenting.

Georgeskitchen · 24/02/2022 19:48

Long past their best. I've not watched them for years. We need some new blood

Not really the similar though are they? Not that I have seen anything from Jedward for years.
coodawoodashooda · 24/02/2022 19:50

I don't understand why they don't move over and let someone else have a turn?
