Ant And Dec: Then And Now

ITV has created its fair share of small-screen legends, but the kings of this millennium are Anthony McPartlin and and Declan Donnelly. Known and loved as Ant and Dec.

Anthony McPartlin (born 18 November 1975, he's the darker haired one) and Declan Donnelly (born 25 September 1975) shot to fame in their teens as actors playing PJ (Ant) and Duncan (Dec) in the popular BBC children's drama series Byker Grove. But instead of their celebrity dying, as has happened to many child actors, theirs has endured. See their life on TV in our gallery.
