Publisher's Summary

THE HILARIOUS AND HEARTWARMING SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Ant and Dec hold a special place in the hearts of TV viewers everywhere. This is their epic story, with never-before-seen photography and the very best tales from their 30 years in TV.

Ant: As the old Chinese proverb says, 'Good things come in pairs'.
Dec: And as another Chinese proverb says, 'If you've been in a double act with your best mate for thirty years, why not write a book about all your most memorable moments in three decades of showbusiness?'
Ant: Less catchy that one, isn't it?
Dec: But no less true. And after three decades together, we're writing that book. Covering everything from a pirate radio storyline in Byker Grove through to the biggest shows on telly, this is our story.
Ant: Thirty years, eh? Amazing.
Dec: Absolutely. Especially when you consider we are both still 27 years old.

From their modest beginnings in Byker Grove through to their "unique" time as pop stars and an award-laden TV career, the last three decades have flown by in the blink of an eye. They've also featured an incredible cast of supporting characters, including their first scriptwriter (an unknown comedian called David Walliams), Saturday night fun and games with countless Hollywood A-listers, and celebrities they torture - sorry, work with - every year in the jungle. Told through the lens of every TV show they've made, as well as everything they've learnt along the way, this is the riotously funny journey of two ordinary lads from Newcastle who went on to achieve extraordinary things.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Awesome and honest

The love that have for each other comes through in everything they do together. This book confirms there bond strength and commitment to each other. That are the the new Morecambe and Wise I know that’s a cliche but there work ethic to make people smile,laugh and giggle is second to none. Probably the best double act Britain has ever produced I know is a bold statement but keep on doing it. Howay the lads

This should be on everyone's booklist

Brilliant memories, so funny and love Ant and Dec's narration. It's like having the guys around for a cuppa and chat in your kitchen.
