British tv would not be the place it’s right now with out the presenting duo of Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who’re recognized to the plenty merely as Ant and Dec (eternally in that order). After I had the possibility to fulfill the pair, I used to be a bit of apprehensive, as I feared they may act in a different way away from the glare of the cameras, as we frequently hear about some celebrities.
I received the possibility of assembly them on the Nationwide Tv Awards a few years in the past – and it is secure to say the 50-year-olds confirmed their true colors instantly. I am not often pleasantly stunned – however I used to be when Ant and Dec walked down the crimson carpet as they have been working late for the awards ceremony. Regardless of being clearly not on time, they each took the time to greet followers and journalists who had been lined up within the warmth for hours with heat and professionalism.
Throughout the ceremony, they gained the coveted award for Presenter of the Yr (the pair have a complete of 45 Nationwide Tv Awards up to now, and their 23-year streak for the Presenter of the Yr award was solely damaged this 12 months when Gary Lineker gained it).
I used to be capable of communicate to Ant and Dec within the winners’ room after they gained the Presenter of the Yr Award for the twenty second time. They appeared as enthusiastic and grateful as they did throughout their first-ever win – it was actually touching to see.
The pair even requested everybody within the room, together with me, to take a celebratory selfie with them to make sure everybody felt included.
Nobody was anticipating it, however it felt great to be included of their victory and to assemble everybody collectively for his or her snap.
The duo actually confirmed their actual nature that night time, and I used to be so relieved they’re simply as pleasant in actuality as they arrive throughout when internet hosting exhibits like I am A Superstar…Get Me Out of Right here! and Limitless Win.
Ant and Dec have gotten to be the perfect stars I’ve had the pleasure of assembly, I’m proud to report.
