Ant and Dec
Ant & Dec are an English TV presenting duo, consisting of comedians, TV presenters and rappers Anthony McPartlin OBE (born 18 November 1975) and Declan Donnelly OBE (born 25 September 1975), from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Formed after their meeting as actors on CBBC's drama, Byker Grove, they performed together as pop musicians PJ & Duncan, the names of their characters from Byker Grove. The duo have since pursued careers as television presenters, and currently host Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, and Britain's Got Talent. Previous hosting credits include SMTV Live, CD:UK, Friends Like These, Pop Idol, PokerFace, Push the Button, Red or Black?, and Text Santa. They presented the annual Brit Awards in 2001, 2015 and 2016.
In addition to presenting, the pair are actors and both had leading roles in the 2006 film Alien Autopsy. They have been television producers, and have their own production company, Mitre Television.
In a 2004 poll for the BBC, Ant & Dec were named the eighteenth most influential people in British culture. In 2019, a new show was aired on ITV, Ant and Dec's DNA Journey, in which they explore their DNA and meet unexpected family members and concluded with the pair finding out that they shared a Viking ancestor, making the pair distant cousins.
McPartlin and Donnelly met while working on the BBC children's drama Byker Grove in 1989. After a shaky start, they soon became best friends. They have achieved such popularity as a duo that they are hardly seen apart on screen. It is reported that they are each insured against the other's death, with the amount reportedly being around £1 million
