Ant and Dec who have become a British institution in their own right first met when they were 13 year old actors on the set of Byker Grove

According to Dec, Ant was a miserable git and it was not love at first sight

“We met on the set of Byker Grove when we were 13 years old. We are now both 34 this year,” he said.

“When I first met Ant he was a right miserable git.

“It wasn’t love at first sight. Ant sent me a Fred Flintstone Christmas card that first Christmas, and it said ‘Dear Dec, have a yabba dabba do Christmas’.

“Then it said ‘PS do you fancy going to the Newcastle v Swindon match?’

“So that was our first date and we forged an amazing friendship from there and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

Ahh so cute, they really do make a lovely couple
