  Mmm.

• 0:52Speaker 02

  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. There's nothing like it.

• 1:00Ant McPartlin?

  Coming up on the show, Dec's got issues with the bird in his bedroom. That's like your sleep paralysis demon waking you up. Famous Guy Swaps Things is back! I love that. Oh, he loves it! He loves it! Dec hands out some awkward advice to a fan. How awkward is that? You don't know what people are going through, so just keep your mouth shut. All right, all right. Keep your mouth shut. And we'll reveal what really happened on the Amazebby's South Africa final. Enjoy the show!

• 1:35Declan Donnelly?

  Ah! Ah! He's peeing! He's peeing!

• 1:40Ant McPartlin?

  There you go.

• 1:41Declan Donnelly?

  He's peeing, son, he's peeing!

• 1:42Ant McPartlin?

  Forget that, forget that. Get on the drums! Knock yourself out! Three, four!

• 1:50Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know how to play the drums.

• 1:51Ant McPartlin?

  Give us a drum fill. Diggadigga digga digga.

• 1:56Ant McPartlin?

  That's not bad. We're finished with this cymbal crash.

• 1:58Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 2:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah! Welcome to hanging out with me, Matt McPaulan, and him, Declan Donnelly. Say, having a house band. I love it! And on the drums, Declan Donnelly!

• 2:15Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's it. That's it, Spence.

• 2:18Declan Donnelly?

  I can't do that and drum at the same time.

• 2:20Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 2:22Ant McPartlin?

  Say, King of Christmas.

• 2:26Ant McPartlin?

  It's quite tiresome very quickly, isn't it?

• 2:36Ant McPartlin?

  I don't really think this through, do I?

• 2:41Ant McPartlin?

  He's hitting his old drumsticks again.

• 2:46Ant McPartlin?

  I'll tell you my favourite joke so you can do a little bubba at the end, right?

• 2:49Declan Donnelly?

  Hit me.

• 2:50Ant McPartlin?

  Two monkeys in a bath. Not yet!

• 2:52Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 2:53Ant McPartlin?

  Two monkeys in a bath. One monkey goes, "Ooh, ha, ha!" Not yet!

• 2:57Declan Donnelly?

  Sorry.

• 2:58Ant McPartlin?

  Two monkeys in a bath.

• 3:00Declan Donnelly?

  Sorry.

• 3:01Ant McPartlin?

  Two monkeys in a bath. One monkey goes, "Ooh, ha, ha!" The other one says, "Well, put some cold water in then."

• 3:09Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you. Come on, guys!

• 3:18Ant McPartlin?

  That's it.

• 3:22Ant McPartlin?

  This is all the results of, uh, Famous Guy Swaps Things. If you didn't watch or listen to last week's pod, then you've got no idea what's going on. We will be doing another episode of Famous Guy Swaps Things in this pod later on, so he might get the chance to get another present on next week's pod, if you swap.

• 3:44Ant McPartlin?

  For God's sake, this is just, it hurts me, huh?

• 3:47Declan Donnelly?

  That is...

• 3:47Ant McPartlin?

  I'm very noise sensitive at the minute.

• 3:49Declan Donnelly?

  Tremendous.

• 3:50Ant McPartlin?

  Very noise sensitive.

• 3:52Declan Donnelly?

  I am so glad we did that swap. That is better than a quiet please sign.

• 3:57Ant McPartlin?

  Do you think so?

• 3:57Declan Donnelly?

  Noisy please sign. That's it.

• 4:00Ant McPartlin?

  I need the quiet please sign.

• 4:01Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, you do.

• 4:01Ant McPartlin?

  When you're playing the drum kit, so I can just hold it up to you.

• 4:04Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, good morning, good evening.

• 4:06Ant McPartlin?

  I've done all of that. Done all of that. How have you been? How's your week been? Busy, quiet? Is it quiet?

• 4:12Declan Donnelly?

  No, it's been anything but quiet.

• 4:13Ant McPartlin?

  It's been as noisy as that drum kit.

• 4:16Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know if anybody saw, but we had a show on Friday night, uh...

• 4:19Ant McPartlin?

  If you didn't see it on Friday, I bet you read about it.

• 4:23Declan Donnelly?

  I'm a Celebrity South Africa live finale happened on Friday. We will go into it.

• 4:28Ant McPartlin?

  Let's discuss that later.

• 4:28Declan Donnelly?

  We'll go into it a little bit more later. We'll, we'll tell you some ins and outs and a bit of backstage gossip.

• 4:34Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we'll, we'll give you our, our version of events.

• 4:38Declan Donnelly?

  We'll tell you what happened and what happened afterwards in the car park.

• 4:42Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 4:42Declan Donnelly?

  You may have read a few bits.

• 4:44Ant McPartlin?

  Apart from, BGT went out on Saturday though. That was good. Good fun one and good team fun that. Been up to anything else? Apart from hosting live television shows?

• 4:52Declan Donnelly?

  Um.

• 4:52Ant McPartlin?

  And podcasts and whatnot?

• 4:54Declan Donnelly?

  I, um, I've had a lovely weekend, um, relaxing. Although I haven't slept very well and there's very good reason for it. And I don't quite know what to do, so I need a bit of advice. So, um, I'm waking up very, very early in the mornings.

• 5:10Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 5:11Declan Donnelly?

  Because.

• 5:12Ant McPartlin?

  Specifics?

• 5:13Declan Donnelly?

  Because.

• 5:15Ant McPartlin?

  No, I mean specific times, like what, what time is very early?

• 5:18Declan Donnelly?

  Five forty-five?

• 5:19Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, okay. Right.

• 5:21Declan Donnelly?

  And there's a reason for it. So I have an open fireplace in my bedroom.

• 5:28Ant McPartlin?

  Right. Where's this going?

• 5:30Declan Donnelly?

  And the chimney obviously is on the roof and close to the chimney is like my TV aerial and all of that, the stuff that you put on the roof.

• 5:38Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 5:39Declan Donnelly?

  And every morning at five forty-five, a pigeon.

• 5:43Ant McPartlin?

  Ah.

• 5:45Declan Donnelly?

  Gets on the TV aerial and shouts down my chimney.

• 5:50Declan Donnelly?

  Woo hoo hoo, woo hoo hoo. Woo hoo hoo. It sounds like an alarm clock.

• 5:56Ant McPartlin?

  Of course.

• 5:56Declan Donnelly?

  Woo hoo hoo, woo hoo hoo.

• 5:58Ant McPartlin?

  And now that, that's like, that's like your sleep, sleep paralysis demon waking you up.

• 6:05Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 6:05Ant McPartlin?

  Cause I imagine your sleep paralysis demon is a pigeon.

• 6:08Declan Donnelly?

  Absolutely. So my nemesis.

• 6:09Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it's, it is your nemesis waking you up.

• 6:12Declan Donnelly?

  And he's just sat there. He's like down the chimney like this.

• 6:16Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, you took a screenshot? Did you record him? That's how you imagine him.

• 6:20Declan Donnelly?

  No, I imagine.

• 6:21Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Is he doing that? Woo, woo, woo. Because he knows you hear pigeons.

• 6:25Declan Donnelly?

  He could be literally flipping me the bird.

• 6:27Ant McPartlin?

  He's heard you. He's heard you having a go at pigeons for years. And he's all hit the whole pigeon community have got together. And they've nominated him to go around your house. They've finally found out where you live. And that's it now. That's your life to live in hell.

• 6:41Declan Donnelly?

  Don't joke. I have thought that.

• 6:46Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 6:46Declan Donnelly?

  Genuinely, I have thought that.

• 6:47Ant McPartlin?

  I'm not joking. This, this does happen. Animals are intelligent, especially birds.

• 6:51Declan Donnelly?

  What do I do at 5.45? It's literally happening every day.

• 6:55Ant McPartlin?

  Well, there's only one bit of advice I can give you. I think what you should do is just completely restructure your day.

• 7:04Ant McPartlin?

  Seem fair? So that you start your day at 5.45. Imagine what you could get done.

• 7:11Ant McPartlin?

  So you could get 5.45, go out for a run.

• 7:12Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 7:13Ant McPartlin?

  5.45, get down to the gym. Oohs, oohs. 5.45, meditate. Light an insert stick.

• 7:20Declan Donnelly?

  I can't meditate with woo, woo, woo.

• 7:23Ant McPartlin?

  Change rooms?

• 7:25Declan Donnelly?

  Why should I change rooms? Why should I change rooms for my pigeon?

• 7:29Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 7:30Declan Donnelly?

  Get out of here.

• 7:31Ant McPartlin?

  Okay. Second bit of advice then. Get a speaker and put it in.

• 7:37Declan Donnelly?

  The fireplace.

• 7:37Ant McPartlin?

  Get like an eagle or a hawk's. Um, I'm sure you'll be able to search it. The noise that they make when they're going in for the kill, that'll scare them off. Do that and report back.

• 7:48Declan Donnelly?

  So I've got to get up at 5.45 in the morning, connect my Bluetooth speaker.

• 7:51Ant McPartlin?

  No, I do, I do that the night before. Do that the night before. And also you'd have to get up earlier, slightly earlier to press play.

• 7:59Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. This isn't helping my.

• 8:01Ant McPartlin?

  No, set it all up the night before, right? Have it in the fireplace. I mean, who's getting up at 5.45 in their bedroom? How Victorian is that? Is that where you put your stockings at Christmas? Is that where Santa comes down?

• 8:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 8:12Ant McPartlin?

  Into your bedroom? How novel? Um, so put the speaker in there, then or do all of that night before. And then it'll be, it'll be on your phone, right? In a, in a little sound edit that we can send through to you. And then do that and on next week, let us know how you're going.

• 8:30Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, maybe.

• 8:32Ant McPartlin?

  And it's only gonna get worse, the lighter it gets in the morning.

• 8:35Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it is.

• 8:35Ant McPartlin?

  So it might get earlier and earlier.

• 8:37Declan Donnelly?

  It will.

• 8:38Ant McPartlin?

  So you need to deal with it now.

• 8:39Declan Donnelly?

  I'll report back.

• 8:40Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, please do.

• 8:41Declan Donnelly?

  I'll try all those things and report back. How's your week been?

• 8:45Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, very frustrating, but I feel good about it.

• 8:50Declan Donnelly?

  Why is that? Why is it frustrating?

• 8:52Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'll tell you why, because the financial regulations I've imposed on myself.

• 8:58Declan Donnelly?

  Your self-imposed spending bar?

• 9:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I'm sticking to it.

• 9:02Declan Donnelly?

  Well, well done.

• 9:03Ant McPartlin?

  Thank you very much.

• 9:04Declan Donnelly?

  And how long are you doing this for, a full month?

• 9:06Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, well, I'll get to the end of May, I saw, I've got to the end of April.

• 9:09Declan Donnelly?

  Hang on a minute.

• 9:09Ant McPartlin?

  Nearly, haven't I, let's face it. Got to the end of April and I thought, I've been really test, before you read whatever this is.

• 9:18Declan Donnelly?

  There's a little letter coming here, but carry on.

• 9:20Ant McPartlin?

  I've been really tested this week.

• 9:22Declan Donnelly?

  Have you, temptation?

• 9:23Ant McPartlin?

  Well, that's all it is, you get bombarded with stuff on, online, don't you?

• 9:27Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 9:28Ant McPartlin?

  On social media, you get bombarded with stuff, and now it knows what I like.

• 9:31Declan Donnelly?

  What's caught your eye?

• 9:31Ant McPartlin?

  I'm a real sucker.

• 9:32Declan Donnelly?

  What's caught your eye this week?

• 9:33Ant McPartlin?

  Autry, the trainers, we love.

• 9:36Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 9:37Ant McPartlin?

  There's loads of new styles out, new colours for the summer, and summer, and the weather's changed, so there's loads of new summer clothes out there, which I'd like to purchase, but I've said, no, I've got 20 pairs of shorts, I don't need another pair of shorts.

• 9:51Declan Donnelly?

  No, you don't.

• 9:51Ant McPartlin?

  But the big thing is, I noticed this week that McLaren, as in McLaren the sports car.

• 9:58Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 9:59Ant McPartlin?

  Are doing golf clubs.

• 10:02Ant McPartlin?

  Justin Rose has signed up, Justin Rose is now using McLaren golf clubs.

• 10:07Declan Donnelly?

  And they're gonna make your ball go really fast.

• 10:09Ant McPartlin?

  Fast, quick, true, it'll make me a better golfer. That traditionally would be the thing I would immediately go and buy, wouldn't it?

• 10:18Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm. And you can't.

• 10:20Ant McPartlin?

  I can't.

• 10:21Declan Donnelly?

  That's good, though. That's, one, it's good self-restraint.

• 10:25Ant McPartlin?

  But I wanna be a better golfer.

• 10:27Declan Donnelly?

  That's good self-restraint.

• 10:29Ant McPartlin?

  I wanna be a better golfer.

• 10:30Declan Donnelly?

  But also.

• 10:31Ant McPartlin?

  What were the all clubs I had that I bought last year?

• 10:35Ant McPartlin?

  Well, you just want me to be a bad golfer, don't you?

• 10:37Declan Donnelly?

  Yes. No, it's good. That's good self restraint.

• 10:40Ant McPartlin?

  I know it is.

• 10:41Declan Donnelly?

  But also, there'll be more good golf clubs coming along later.

• 10:46Ant McPartlin?

  What, better than McLaren? Or your Mendel?

• 10:49Declan Donnelly?

  Is this McLaren's first set of golf clubs?

• 10:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yes.

• 10:51Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, they're only gonna get better.

• 10:53Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, what, Justin Rose is my golfing guinea pig.

• 10:56Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 10:56Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, so all the mistakes he makes, I will learn from.

• 10:59Declan Donnelly?

  They're gonna perfect for you.

• 11:01Ant McPartlin?

  Right, okay. I mean, I wish I could agree with you, but...

• 11:04Declan Donnelly?

  We've got a letter here from Cassie and Bude. It says, "Hi, you two."

• 11:08Ant McPartlin?

  Cassie and Bude? What's the, what's the relationship there?

• 11:11Declan Donnelly?

  Cassie and Bude, I don't know.

• 11:12Ant McPartlin?

  Bude's the dog?

• 11:12Speaker 06

  Oh, in Bude, from Bude.

• 11:14Declan Donnelly?

  Cassie fro- sorry, Cassie from Bude.

• 11:18Ant McPartlin?

  That makes more sense.

• 11:19Declan Donnelly?

  I'm gonna send these glasses back.

• 11:20Ant McPartlin?

  That was like another Bethan. I've never heard of anyone called Bude. Ever.

• 11:24Declan Donnelly?

  Hey, Bude.

• 11:28Declan Donnelly?

  Cassie's from Bude. She says, "Hi, you two. I went back to work in March."

• 11:31Ant McPartlin?

  You know, just redoing it means, and we're still gonna show you getting it wrong. You know that, right?

• 11:35Declan Donnelly?

  We can cut that bit out, though.

• 11:35Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we will. Never, never. Yeah, leave it in there. Thanks, Hacklers.

• 11:39Declan Donnelly?

  "Hi, you two. I wanted you both to know that I have started rating my children's behaviour with bananas. I ordered 100 small bananas from Amazon, three tubs with their names on, and every time they do something really good or helpful, they get a banana. The maximum bananas they can get is, of course..."

• 11:55Ant McPartlin?

  Eight.

• 11:55Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 11:56Ant McPartlin?

  Because it's the world record.

• 11:57Declan Donnelly?

  "So, once they get to eight bananas, they get a treat. Our house is full of, do I get a banana for that? Be assured, these banana ratings are not given out lightly. They work hard to get awarded the full eight bananas. Beats a star chart any day. So, thank you. Respect, guys. Cassie from Bude."

• 12:12Ant McPartlin?

  Have you got the bananas?

• 12:13Declan Donnelly?

  Got us thinking.

• 12:14Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, there they are. Thing is, though, I'm a grown arse man to quote David Haye.

• 12:18Declan Donnelly?

  As David Haye would say.

• 12:19Ant McPartlin?

  So, I don't think I'm gonna be swayed by a star chart or any kind of, "Oh, they're good on the..." They're really good.

• 12:28Declan Donnelly?

  They're great.

• 12:29Ant McPartlin?

  If you're just listening, they're like a little bunch of bananas in my hand, the size of my thumb, although I have quite big thumbs.

• 12:38Declan Donnelly?

  And they're all different.

• 12:39Ant McPartlin?

  What do you mean? The next one's a peeled banana? Where do you buy these? I shouldn't buy them, I can't buy them.

• 12:44Declan Donnelly?

  You can't buy them, you're not allowed to buy them.

• 12:45Ant McPartlin?

  So she give us these as a gift?

• 12:47Speaker 06

  You can, if you can have one every week that you don't spend, and if you get eight bananas, we'll get you a treat.

• 12:53Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, that's.

• 12:54Declan Donnelly?

  Good, isn't it?

• 12:55Ant McPartlin?

  Okay. And eight weeks because.

• 12:58Speaker 06

  Eight bananas.

• 12:58Ant McPartlin?

  Eight bananas. Okay, can I start with this bunch?

• 13:00Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 13:01Ant McPartlin?

  I can keep them in my, I've got a little banana, a banana holder here, which was on the shelf. Shall I keep them in there?

• 13:11Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 13:11Ant McPartlin?

  And then we can, there you go, there's the first one going in, have a listen to this.

• 13:16Declan Donnelly?

  Week one. That's quite satisfying, isn't it?

• 13:18Ant McPartlin?

  Week one, done. Thank you very much, Cassie and Board, the dog.

• 13:24Declan Donnelly?

  But.

• 13:25Ant McPartlin?

  But, but.

• 13:26Declan Donnelly?

  Hey, but.

• 13:28Ant McPartlin?

  Thanks for the banana things.

• 13:33Ant McPartlin?

  This is an advert for Santander, who understand that saving for your first home can feel almost impossible. And the road to owning can be a bumpy one. Do you remember when we lived together for the first time?

• 13:45Declan Donnelly?

  How could I forget?

• 13:46Ant McPartlin?

  In that flat in London.

• 13:47Declan Donnelly?

  I don't think you ever forget the first time you live away from home either, do you?

• 13:50Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god.

• 13:51Declan Donnelly?

  We're in this flat, didn't really have a clue what we were doing. We never cooked.

• 13:55Ant McPartlin?

  Never cooked.

• 13:55Declan Donnelly?

  Takeaways every night.

• 13:56Ant McPartlin?

  We didn't have a course hook, we just had a pile of coats on the floor. Didn't we though? We just throw coats on the, on a pile.

• 14:04Declan Donnelly?

  We had a dishwasher, although we never knew we had a dishwasher.

• 14:07Ant McPartlin?

  Until the day we moved out.

• 14:08Declan Donnelly?

  Until the day we moved out and the letting agent came around and checked all the cupboards and went, oh yeah, dishwasher works all right. We're like, oh my god.

• 14:14Ant McPartlin?

  Dishwasher, that was a dishwasher? Not a clue.

• 14:17Declan Donnelly?

  We were absolutely clueless.

• 14:19Ant McPartlin?

  We were, we were clueless.

• 14:20Declan Donnelly?

  And then when it came to buying, oh, we were doubly clueless.

• 14:24Ant McPartlin?

  I had no idea.

• 14:25Declan Donnelly?

  Today it can feel so difficult as a first time buyer, saving for that deposit. It feel like you've got a mountain to climb.

• 14:32Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, absolutely. That's where Santander can help. Santander's first home saver account encourages you to do just that, rewarding you with a prize draw entry every time you save one hundred pounds.

• 15:13Ant McPartlin?

  Bit of a stumble but not bad.

• 15:15Declan Donnelly?

  That's good, that's very good.

• 15:16Ant McPartlin?

  Well done.

• 15:17Declan Donnelly?

  Well done Fiona.

• 15:18Ant McPartlin?

  Stand and dare, it starts here. I was clearing out me garage.

• 15:22Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm.

• 15:23Ant McPartlin?

  There's not a lot to clear out because I've recently moved house.

• 15:25Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 15:26Ant McPartlin?

  But there was a bag, right, zipped up and in the bag was like a, like a spherical shape, a round shape, right? So I just, I thought it was like an old football or something, I thought I must throw that out.

• 15:40Declan Donnelly?

  Is this something to swap?

• 15:41Ant McPartlin?

  I don't think so.

• 15:43Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, okay.

• 15:44Ant McPartlin?

  I don't think anyone would want this. I brought it in though for to show you what it is, because it's not a football. It's not even a cabbage, which is the other thing I thought it was. Don't know why I'd be.

• 15:55Declan Donnelly?

  Spherical, spherical shape in a bag?

• 15:56Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 15:57Declan Donnelly?

  It's not a football.

• 15:58Ant McPartlin?

  Well, here's the bag. So.

• 16:01Declan Donnelly?

  So if you're just listening, yeah, it's a black bag, something in it, it's coming out.

• 16:08Ant McPartlin?

  In it, hold on. In it.

• 16:10Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, wow.

• 16:11Ant McPartlin?

  Hi guys!

• 16:12Speaker 07

  Hi.

• 16:13Ant McPartlin?

  So this, so look, see, it's very fragile. This is me. It's my Spitting Image puppet. Now Spitting Image was a satirical comedy show on ITV, ran for years when we were growing, it was huge when we were kids. And then they did like a best of twenty years, twenty years Spitting Image or twenty five years, something like that, and they'd done me in deck and we ho, in this best of show, our puppets hosted the show.

• 16:41Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 16:42Ant McPartlin?

  With the worst accents I have to say.

• 16:43Declan Donnelly?

  We didn't even do the voices and obviously it was puppets, so we hosted the show, but it wasn't anything to do with us. It was quite weird.

• 16:50Ant McPartlin?

  What do you think? Do you think it looks like me?

• 16:52Speaker 07

  Yes, can't tell the difference.

• 16:53Declan Donnelly?

  Uncanny.

• 16:54Ant McPartlin?

  Oh no, look at me trousers! I'm disintegrating on myself.

• 17:00Declan Donnelly?

  Oh no, this is.

• 17:01Ant McPartlin?

  Can you see it? What is that?

• 17:03Declan Donnelly?

  Stuff from out.

• 17:04Ant McPartlin?

  Ah! Ah!

• 17:06Declan Donnelly?

  It's your innards.

• 17:08Ant McPartlin?

  Your brains, it's, it's brain, it's brain! Right, put it there. Yeah, there you go. The problem is with the, with the neck disintegrating the way it has, I'm just all forehead.

• 17:21Speaker 07

  That looks like your lips now, like.

• 17:24Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it does look like we live. It's not great there, is it? I wonder if any, we know anybody, anybody listening to the pod can help me kind of restore it. I was thinking about taking it to a repair shop, but that would be very narcissistic of me to do so.

• 17:38Declan Donnelly?

  Couldn't be a great episode, though.

• 17:40Ant McPartlin?

  Would you watch?

• 17:41Declan Donnelly?

  You've got to go back and cry at it. At the end.

• 17:44Ant McPartlin?

  I'd cry at it now because I'm just getting old. It's like Benjamin Button.

• 17:49Declan Donnelly?

  The problem with it, if you're just listening, Ian's got it on the shelf. And if you're just listening, because half of the face has kind of disappeared, it makes your forehead look very prominent.

• 17:59Ant McPartlin?

  Well, it makes me look like I'm all forehead and I'm not like that in real life. It's disproportionate, isn't it? Yeah?

• 18:07Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, kind of.

• 18:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 18:09Declan Donnelly?

  I'll tell you what I could do with it. Stick it on my roof to scare away the pigeons.

• 18:14Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yeah. No, put your own bloody head on the roof to scare away the pigeons.

• 18:19Declan Donnelly?

  Speaking of all TV shows, have you seen all of the SMTV footage that is now on Belters Box?

• 18:25Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I have. And I've subscribed, like I suggest you do too.

• 18:30Declan Donnelly?

  We've, there's loads of Challenge Ant on there.

• 18:33Ant McPartlin?

  Loads of Challenge Ant.

• 18:33Declan Donnelly?

  From Wonky Donkey.

• 18:34Ant McPartlin?

  Really good stuff.

• 18:35Declan Donnelly?

  But it made me realise that we left SMTV 25 years ago.

• 18:39Ant McPartlin?

  Did we? Really?

• 18:41Declan Donnelly?

  We left in 2001.

• 18:43Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, my goodness. So it started 28 years ago, left in 2001, so yeah, we've been gone.

• 18:47Declan Donnelly?

  Been gone for 25 years.

• 18:49Ant McPartlin?

  But people still quote Wonky Donkey to us on the streets. They still talk about Chums, they still talk about Challenge Ants.

• 18:56Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 18:57Ant McPartlin?

  It's great and it's great to relive all those moments on Belters Box. Like Belters Box is the home of archive content where you can see like Saturday Night Takeaway, best bits, all the undercovers in your ears and also all of the Saturday morning stuff as well that we did. It's good.

• 19:13Declan Donnelly?

  It's great.

• 19:14Ant McPartlin?

  Really good.

• 19:15Declan Donnelly?

  But it got me thinking about how we came up with the idea for Challenge Ant. Do you remember?

• 19:19Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I do.

• 19:20Declan Donnelly?

  So we'd both had a little break, so we had four weeks off in the summer from SMTV. The rest of the time, we were on air every Saturday morning, we did 48 weeks a year. And we had our first summer break and we both went on holiday. We came back, we went to the pub together.

• 19:34Ant McPartlin?

  We did, where all the best ideas are born.

• 19:36Declan Donnelly?

  Went to the pub and I came back and he said, I've had an idea to have a quiz, me against kids. Right, I think he thought it was gonna be skewed in his, uh, his favour, that they were eight years old.

• 19:51Ant McPartlin?

  No, cause the whole thing was, I, I'd said, let's do a quiz, me versus kids, because I'd seen there was a rise in that everybody who participates gets a prize. And I was so against that at the time, and we were like, look, if I win, then, and they lose, then they don't walk away with any prizes. We've gotta be quite hard about it. And when we pitched it to everybody at, at the show, they were like, yeah, but.

• 20:13Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, but they get a consolation prize, right?

• 20:15Ant McPartlin?

  And we were, we were just so positive that we were right.

• 20:20Declan Donnelly?

  We kept saying, no, it's a life lesson.

• 20:23Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we did.

• 20:23Declan Donnelly?

  For these kids that they can't always gamble and win. And if you do gamble and lose, sometimes you go away with nothing.

• 20:29Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, and you don't always get something for taking part. I think the only thing they took away was a handkerchief if they lost to cry their tears into.

• 20:36Speaker 06

  Wow.

• 20:37Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, I know, I know, wow, eh? Because we'd done a show prior to that, the Adden Deck Show on, um, CBBC, where we shaved off the contestants' hair if they lost. So us just not giving them a CD or a CD player, that was, that was nothing. It was nothing to us.

• 20:55Declan Donnelly?

  It started off that we were gonna shave their eyebrows, and they weren't, they didn't let us do that. We weren't allowed to do that. So we ended up shaving their heads instead.

• 21:02Speaker 06

  The full head was easier to get past than just the eyebrows.

• 21:06Declan Donnelly?

  I think that was the thing. I think if you start with eyebrows and they go, they're horrified, then you go, okay, what about their heads? And they go, oh yeah, that's better. So if you start with eyebrows, shaving their heads doesn't seem so bad.

• 21:18Speaker 06

  So kids?

• 21:19Declan Donnelly?

  Kids, yeah, we shaved the kids' hair, yeah.

• 21:20Ant McPartlin?

  I, I'm surprised I haven't bumped into anyone on the street who are faced back in the day.

• 21:26Declan Donnelly?

  Cause you've played a lot of kids.

• 21:28Ant McPartlin?

  I've played loads of kids. And most of the time, in the early days, I won. Then as soon as they got wind of Harry Potter. Which I hadn't read a single page of.

• 21:40Declan Donnelly?

  It's kryptonite.

• 21:40Ant McPartlin?

  Ah, it was like.

• 21:41Declan Donnelly?

  And it's kryptonite.

• 21:42Ant McPartlin?

  My Achilles heel, it was just, I just didn't have a clue, not a clue.

• 21:46Declan Donnelly?

  Cause the producer sent you all the books.

• 21:48Ant McPartlin?

  He sent me all the books. So he's like, there's this book that's kind of, the kids are all getting behind now and they're, they're really loving. So it probably best have a read of them, just so you've got a clue when it comes to, to challenge. And I thought, what's it about? Let's have a look. And I looked on the back and it's like, a little boy who thinks he's a wizard goes to wizards in school. Are you joking? Absolutely no way on this earth. Like, we're listening to Oasis and Blur and like going out to see gigs at the evening, were we?

• 22:16Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 22:16Ant McPartlin?

  We're like going down the pub most times like, I'm not gonna read a Boogaloo Magic Boy in the bin you go. And that box set itself was probably, that probably cost some money now.

• 22:25Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, probably.

• 22:25Ant McPartlin?

  Couldn't tell you where it is. Uh, what a shame. But yeah, so once they got wind that, that was my Achilles heel, then I lost a lot.

• 22:32Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, you did.

• 22:33Ant McPartlin?

  Near the end.

• 22:33Speaker 06

  We've actually got a clip of the first time that question was a Harry Potter question.

• 22:38Ant McPartlin?

  Harry Potter question?

• 22:39Speaker 06

  Yeah. Do you wanna see it?

• 22:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yes, please.

• 22:40Speaker 06

  Alright.

• 22:41Declan Donnelly?

  Let's have a look.

• 22:44Ant McPartlin?

  Count me out today's killer question, please.

• 22:47Speaker 07

  Who is playing Hagrid in the film version of Harry Potter?

• 22:51Ant McPartlin?

  Um, um, oh, B M M, he's big, big, big, big, big.

• 23:07Ant McPartlin?

  She loved that. Look at that, look at that, look at that moment. Look at how much she loved that.

• 23:13Ant McPartlin?

  Not happy. Freeze framed my face. I was not happy when I got beat. Not happy at all. I used to hate getting beat.

• 23:20Declan Donnelly?

  Very cute little girl who beat you there.

• 23:22Ant McPartlin?

  Get her back. See if I can get redemption. See if I can beat her.

• 23:27Declan Donnelly?

  We'll play her again.

• 23:27Ant McPartlin?

  Play her again. Not Harry Potter questions. Yeah, okay. If you're listening, what's it called? Charlotte?

• 23:32Speaker 06

  Charlotte.

• 23:32Ant McPartlin?

  Charlotte, if you're listening, I dare you to take me on. Dare you, dare you, dare you. Dare you.

• 23:45Ant McPartlin?

  Well, it went down so well last week. We mentioned this at the top of the polls, but Famous Guy Swaps Things is a hit. It's a podcast hit.

• 23:54Declan Donnelly?

  It is.

• 23:55Ant McPartlin?

  Court fire, everyone's talking about, everyone's engaging with it, people want to swap things. I've got lots of potential swaps for you this week for the Slow Cooker. Before we get to the Slow Cooker, before we bring it out, I just want to talk about the drum kit.

• 24:07Declan Donnelly?

  I'm thrilled with it, thank you.

• 24:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, that's not the actual drum kit.

• 24:10Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 24:11Ant McPartlin?

  Still haven't swapped yet.

• 24:12Declan Donnelly?

  Oh.

• 24:13Ant McPartlin?

  The air fryer's gone.

• 24:14Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 24:14Ant McPartlin?

  We signed that, that's gone.

• 24:15Declan Donnelly?

  Right.

• 24:16Ant McPartlin?

  That's winging its way, might have even been received. We're still waiting on the drum kit.

• 24:20Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 24:21Ant McPartlin?

  So I borrowed a set of drums.

• 24:23Declan Donnelly?

  Just so I can have a little.

• 24:24Ant McPartlin?

  Just so you can have a little tinker at the top of the show. But they are the same as this. So there you go.

• 24:30Declan Donnelly?

  Well, I love it.

• 24:31Ant McPartlin?

  Right, ready for some potential swaps?

• 24:32Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 24:33Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, bring out what we're swapping for, please.

• 24:35Declan Donnelly?

  What's that?

• 24:35Ant McPartlin?

  This is the Slow Cooker that Deck has two of. I don't know who has two Slow Cookers these days.

• 24:42Declan Donnelly?

  There you go.

• 24:42Ant McPartlin?

  Everybody air fries things, don't they? Just get yourself an air fryer.

• 24:45Declan Donnelly?

  Not for, not for pulled pork.

• 24:50Ant McPartlin?

  So explain about what we're swapping. Explain this.

• 24:53Declan Donnelly?

  This is a Slow Cooker.

• 24:54Ant McPartlin?

  Mm-hmm. What colour is it?

• 24:55Declan Donnelly?

  It's black, it's got a glass lid.

• 24:57Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we can hear that rattling, so just keep that still, just for the lister, just for the lister.

• 25:01Declan Donnelly?

  And it's got a big knob on the front.

• 25:05Ant McPartlin?

  Big knob is giving away a big knob. Slow cooker. Right, should we sign this?

• 25:10Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 25:10Ant McPartlin?

  Sign this, okay then.

• 25:11Declan Donnelly?

  So, well, should we wait to see who we're swapping it to, or?

• 25:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, okay. Well, there's the gold pen, keep that in your hand, and I will get out the potential swaps for Famous Guy Swaps Things! Famous Guy Swaps Things! This is the first potential swap for the Slow Cooker.

• 25:30Declan Donnelly?

  Have we had lots of responses to this?

• 25:31Ant McPartlin?

  Lots of responses. Right, I've got the first swap here, but I've got a few legal requirements. Because it's blown up. Whatever you're swapping has to be yours, okay? You've got to be over 18. You can't, of course, swap some of your kids' stuff, because you're over 18, you bought them it.

• 25:48Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not swapping kids. I don't want anybody else's kids.

• 25:50Ant McPartlin?

  You like your kids, right?

• 25:51Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I like my kids, yeah.

• 25:52Ant McPartlin?

  You don't want to swap them. Uh, I think, is that it? Have you got any more to see, your mum?

• 25:56Speaker 06

  I've got some official ones.

• 25:57Ant McPartlin?

  Go on.

• 25:58Speaker 06

  I'll, I'll whizz through them quickly. We're inviting one listener to take part in a swap with Deck. This isn't a competition or a prize draw. If selected, we'll be in touch to arrange a swap. You'll need to be over 18, able to confirm your details for collection or drop off, and ready to complete the swap promptly. By putting yourself forward, you're confirming that the item is yours to swap and that you have full permission to do so.

• 26:14Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, bravo, bravo, bravo. That was better than mine. So, for the slow cooker?

• 26:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 26:21Ant McPartlin?

  The first potential swap is this. The letter says, "Hi, Ant and Dec and team."

• 26:26Declan Donnelly?

  Hi.

• 26:27Ant McPartlin?

  Firstly, "I love your podcast. It's possum." Don't know what that means. Okay, "I'm so in need of a slow cooker, and I love a slow cooker cookbook."

• 26:39Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, I forgot the book. I was supposed to bring that today, wasn't I?

• 26:42Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, you were.

• 26:44Declan Donnelly?

  I forgot.

• 26:44Ant McPartlin?

  We'll get that to you. In return, I would like to offer you a black cat cushion.

• 26:55Ant McPartlin?

  Now, now, there's a reason.

• 26:56Declan Donnelly?

  If you're just listening, there is a very nice black cat cushion.

• 27:00Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'm glad you said it was very nice because it looks exactly like my gorgeous black cat, Harry Cowie, says the person who's written it.

• 27:08Declan Donnelly?

  Is this why we're having a possum podcast?

• 27:10Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah, exactly. Makes sense now.

• 27:11Declan Donnelly?

  God, god, god.

• 27:12Ant McPartlin?

  "As you're allergic to proper cats."

• 27:15Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 27:15Ant McPartlin?

  "I thought Jack and Ila would love this cushion." Not sure how Rocky would react to it, though.

• 27:21Declan Donnelly?

  I'm not sure.

• 27:23Ant McPartlin?

  "As I say, love the show and respect, guys." That's from Rachel Cowie in Bournemouth.

• 27:27Declan Donnelly?

  It's very nice. I'm slightly nervous that if Harry Cowie has come into contact with the cushion, I'll be allergic to the cushion.

• 27:35Ant McPartlin?

  Well, could we, well, I could ask it to steam clean it?

• 27:38Declan Donnelly?

  Okay.

• 27:39Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put, "Possible if you steam clean."

• 27:44Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 27:44Ant McPartlin?

  Right, swap two.

• 27:46Declan Donnelly?

  Swap two.

• 27:46Ant McPartlin?

  That's a possible, yeah, put that on the possible list. Heckless Corner. How about these?

• 27:54Ant McPartlin?

  The tap shoes are back.

• 27:57Declan Donnelly?

  If you're just listening, there's a pair of silver tap shoes on the screen.

• 28:00Ant McPartlin?

  Tap shoes, which we had last week, but thankfully, she's rolled back in again. Yes or no? Possible?

• 28:06Declan Donnelly?

  What is this possible?

• 28:09Ant McPartlin?

  Swap three.

• 28:11Ant McPartlin?

  Undec, for the slow cooker, I can offer my vintage.

• 28:16Declan Donnelly?

  Hello, now I'm interested.

• 28:17Ant McPartlin?

  Vintage.

• 28:18Declan Donnelly?

  I'm interested.

• 28:20Ant McPartlin?

  Pig.

• 28:22Declan Donnelly?

  I like that.

• 28:23Ant McPartlin?

  I noticed your pig on the shelf.

• 28:24Declan Donnelly?

  Baby John Pork.

• 28:25Ant McPartlin?

  Baby John Pork, and I'm a big fan of a novelty pig myself, so I thought you might like a distinguished gentleman to sit alongside Baby John Pork. Me and my boyfriend are just about to buy our first house, so a slow cooker would be very handy. That's from Amber.

• 28:43Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yeah, that's all nice, but I really like the pig.

• 28:46Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, right, I'm just, I'm trying to let, you know, get a little guilt trip on you there.

• 28:51Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, no, you don't need to. I like that pig. And I think Baby John Pork here, he's got nobody to play football with on the shelf. He's got his little ball by his feet. He could do the little pal. It's a possible.

• 29:02Ant McPartlin?

  It's a possible.

• 29:03Declan Donnelly?

  It's a possible.

• 29:03Ant McPartlin?

  It's a possible.

• 29:04Declan Donnelly?

  We like him a lot.

• 29:06Ant McPartlin?

  Next swap. Hayat and Dec, in exchange for the slow cooker, I present to you.

• 29:10Declan Donnelly?

  Ooh, I like this.

• 29:12Ant McPartlin?

  A Royal Standard Fine Bone China Tea Set.

• 29:17Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 29:18Ant McPartlin?

  This tea could be perfect for the podcast. Imagine it, chaos, banter, and then suddenly delicate teacups. Star guest nervously sipping will try not to smash the priceless crockery. Comedy gold. Or Dec, this could be yet another new hobby, part-time tea connoisseur, living, hosting little tea parties at home, pinkies up, judging people's pouring technique, living your best British life. Whether it ends up on the podcast set or in your kitchen, all I'm saying is this tea set deserves a bigger stage than my dining table, which will also like some freedom back. I presume it takes up a lot of space.

• 29:55Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 29:56Ant McPartlin?

  Hope this gives me a fighting chance. Love, Cora from Harrogate. Great letter, Cora.

• 30:02Declan Donnelly?

  Cora, great letter.

• 30:02Ant McPartlin?

  Great letter. Now, that is a pitch. Do we have a picture of the tea set?

• 30:06Speaker 06

  We don't have a photo, I'm afraid.

• 30:09Declan Donnelly?

  We don't have a photo of it.

• 30:10Ant McPartlin?

  Don't have a photo.

• 30:11Declan Donnelly?

  It's a great letter.

• 30:12Ant McPartlin?

  It's a great letter, innit?

• 30:13Declan Donnelly?

  I'm slightly, Fiona's shaking her head.

• 30:17Ant McPartlin?

  Why are you shaking your head?

• 30:18Speaker 06

  Well, we want to see it.

• 30:19Declan Donnelly?

  It's risky, isn't it? Yeah.

• 30:22Ant McPartlin?

  So, potential or not potential?

• 30:24Declan Donnelly?

  It's a potential. I'm interested.

• 30:26Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 30:26Declan Donnelly?

  I love the letter, but, uh, absence of visuals. It's really, I'm, I find it hard to use my imagination.

• 30:32Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, that could be out, guys. I've tried my best.

• 30:35Declan Donnelly?

  That's just a product of AI. I'm fairly hard to use my own imagination now.

• 30:38Ant McPartlin?

  Harrogate, you know, Harrogate's quite posh.

• 30:40Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it is very posh.

• 30:41Ant McPartlin?

  Very posh in Yorkshire. It's the poshest part of Yorkshire.

• 30:43Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 30:44Ant McPartlin?

  It's where the water's from.

• 30:46Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, I know.

• 30:47Ant McPartlin?

  So it's gonna be good stuff.

• 30:49Declan Donnelly?

  Okay. It's a possible.

• 30:51Ant McPartlin?

  Next one. Hi, guys.

• 30:54Declan Donnelly?

  Hi.

• 30:54Ant McPartlin?

  Thanks for featuring my silly goose on your pod.

• 30:56Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, we liked the silly, the silly goose got quite far.

• 30:59Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, it did. My family have found it absolutely hilarious and it was a great way to stop my mourning. I felt like I needed to throw my hat into this slow cooker ring as well. And there's a photo

• 31:11Ant McPartlin?

  of the silly goose with curly hair.

• 31:13Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, good.

• 31:14Ant McPartlin?

  And I can confirm, I can do a black and white striped hat and bow tie.

• 31:22Declan Donnelly?

  That's very tempting.

• 31:22Ant McPartlin?

  Very tempting. And it was from Megan, the same person who wrote in last week.

• 31:26Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you, Megan.

• 31:27Ant McPartlin?

  Put your specs on, have a good look at that.

• 31:28Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, good luck.

• 31:29Ant McPartlin?

  There's a lot to take in around the picture of-

• 31:31Declan Donnelly?

  It's a busy picture.

• 31:32Ant McPartlin?

  Very busy.

• 31:34Declan Donnelly?

  I like it.

• 31:35Ant McPartlin?

  Still?

• 31:35Declan Donnelly?

  It's a possible.

• 31:36Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, good, good.

• 31:37Declan Donnelly?

  Definitely, uh, black and white striped hat.

• 31:40Ant McPartlin?

  And dickyball?

• 31:41Declan Donnelly?

  And dickyball.

• 31:41Ant McPartlin?

  And dickyball. Next one. Great podcast. Well done, the pair of you. Thank you, thank you. How about? Thank you very much. Not you lot, not you lot, not you, Meg, not you, not you. Nobody on the list to make this happen.

• 31:59Ant McPartlin?

  I would like something to be considered for the next Famous Guy Swaps Things. The offer would be to both of you.

• 32:07Declan Donnelly?

  Wow.

• 32:08Ant McPartlin?

  Here we go. Fresh from the North Pole, Santa's workshop.

• 32:11Declan Donnelly?

  What?

• 32:12Ant McPartlin?

  By our studio in Kent is this.

• 32:16Ant McPartlin?

  A bespoke chopping board for Santa, with a space for a drink and mince pie for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph. They can be named with individual names to suit each of your own offspring. Kindness regards and respect, guys. Mike Pearce. That is amazing.

• 32:34Declan Donnelly?

  I love that.

• 32:35Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, he loves it. He loves it. In a sense, this is a swap with Santa, because fresh from his workshop, but he must work for Santa.

• 32:44Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know, that's confused me.

• 32:46Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Fresh from the North Pole, Santa's workshop, via our studio in Kent.

• 32:51Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, okay.

• 32:52Ant McPartlin?

  So he must work for Santa.

• 32:53Declan Donnelly?

  Yes.

• 32:54Ant McPartlin?

  Yes. Santa's very busy, so he's got to form things out. He's outsourced. The chopping boards, understandably so. You like that?

• 33:02Declan Donnelly?

  I like it a lot.

• 33:02Ant McPartlin?

  That is a possible?

• 33:03Declan Donnelly?

  It's very possible.

• 33:04Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, good. We can whittle down at the end, but so far, that is a possible.

• 33:07Declan Donnelly?

  We'll have to whittle that as well.

• 33:09Ant McPartlin?

  No, you don't have to whittle it.

• 33:10Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, he's gonna do it.

• 33:10Ant McPartlin?

  He does that in his workshop.

• 33:12Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, got it.

• 33:12Ant McPartlin?

  In Kent, which has come from the North Pole.

• 33:15Declan Donnelly?

  Got it.

• 33:15Ant McPartlin?

  Santa's workshop, because he's outsourced, because he's too busy. Next one. How about these? Gorgeous little duckies, all the way from Gatesville, Texas, which is the spur capital of the world. These little chaps would enhance your life, giving much pleasure and enjoyment. Love you both. Helen, Newcastle upon Tyne.

• 33:35Declan Donnelly?

  Thank you, Helen. You can keep them.

• 33:38Ant McPartlin?

  You don't like them?

• 33:38Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, they're not for me.

• 33:40Ant McPartlin?

  No?

• 33:41Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 33:41Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, that's a no.

• 33:43Declan Donnelly?

  They don't really float my...

• 33:44Ant McPartlin?

  Robber duck?

• 33:45Declan Donnelly?

  Robber duck.

• 33:45Ant McPartlin?

  No? Okay, that's a no. Helen, a fellow Geordie has just turned you down on his podcast. Let's see, let's see your reception next time you go back to Newcastle upon Tyne. You'd be booed out when you cross this town bridge. And finally, I got a message here. Hi, Ant. No, just Ant, thanks. Ant here from last week with the quiet please signs.

• 34:07Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, yes.

• 34:09Ant McPartlin?

  Good it, I hit the post on the air fryer. You see what he said there?

• 34:13Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 34:15Ant McPartlin?

  Well, no, that's a football related thing.

• 34:17Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, it's not really golfy, is it?

• 34:18Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. Good, I was over Paul, he should have said, really, shouldn't he? For some reason, my wife has also bought two slow cookers as well. So swapping the signs for a third would be no good to me.

• 34:31Declan Donnelly?

  No.

• 34:32Ant McPartlin?

  Sorry, Dec. I'm sure there is still a deal to be done for the sign all. Or maybe both signs if you have something really good, Dec. Wink emoji. Respect, guys. As always, Andy.

• 34:43Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, Andy.

• 34:44Ant McPartlin?

  She's not offering them for a swap. That was just a final, final message.

• 34:47Declan Donnelly?

  When I heard Andy was back in touch, I thought, hi, here we go.

• 34:50Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep that to one side because I might go back to Andy myself. Because I really want those. Do you want to summarize?

• 34:57Declan Donnelly?

  Let's summarize. What have we got? Possibles?

• 34:59Ant McPartlin?

  The cat cushion from Rachel.

• 35:00Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, I've gone off that slightly.

• 35:02Ant McPartlin?

  Shall I strike that? Do you want to come back to it in a second?

• 35:05Declan Donnelly?

  We'll come back to it.

• 35:07Ant McPartlin?

  We've got the tap shoes for Caroline.

• 35:08Declan Donnelly?

  No, strike them. They're not, you put that on the list, not me.

• 35:11Ant McPartlin?

  She always makes the shortlist, never quite gets it over the line. The distinguished pig from Amber.

• 35:16Declan Donnelly?

  Like him.

• 35:17Ant McPartlin?

  You like him? Okay, let's keep him on the shortlist. The T set from Cora.

• 35:20Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, I would like a photo. I'd like a photo.

• 35:24Ant McPartlin?

  So that's a no?

• 35:25Declan Donnelly?

  No, leave it on for a minute.

• 35:27Ant McPartlin?

  The silly goose, the crocheted silly goose. And you can see now, the silly goose has curly hair and she said she can do a black and white top hat.

• 35:36Declan Donnelly?

  I don't think for this, it's the, it's the silly goose.

• 35:39Ant McPartlin?

  So no silly goose?

• 35:40Declan Donnelly?

  No silly goose this time.

• 35:41Ant McPartlin?

  And finally, the chopping board, which was made in Santa's workshop via Kent.

• 35:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, outsourced.

• 35:48Ant McPartlin?

  By him.

• 35:48Declan Donnelly?

  I like that a lot.

• 35:49Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 35:50Declan Donnelly?

  So what we're down to?

• 35:51Ant McPartlin?

  We're down to cat cushion, distinguished pig, T set, chopping board. Find out what he picks after this break on Famous Guys Pop Things.

• 36:01Declan Donnelly?

  This is an advert for Gemini, Google's personal AI assistant.

• 36:05Ant McPartlin?

  Right, I'm gonna board a pick with you. You know, the other week you were berating my cordigan.

• 36:10Declan Donnelly?

  Well, it, it.

• 36:11Ant McPartlin?

  Berating.

• 36:11Declan Donnelly?

  I didn't berate it, but I just gently poked fun at it.

• 36:15Ant McPartlin?

  So I thought we'd put this matter to bed. Let's just ask Google Gemini.

• 36:18Declan Donnelly?

  Google Gemini.

• 36:19Ant McPartlin?

  So Gemini, are cardigans sexy?

• 36:22Speaker 07

• 36:28Declan Donnelly?

  Some people might find them appealing. Doesn't sound very sexy to me. Hang on a minute, let me get you on the camera.

• 36:34Ant McPartlin?

  I'm not wearing a cardigan.

• 36:35Declan Donnelly?

  No, no, but.

  It's a jumper.

• 38:26Ant McPartlin?

  Welcome back to Hanging Out with Ant and Dec, or should I say Famous Guy Swaps Things. It's very tense here in the studio.

• 38:33Declan Donnelly?

  It's very tense.

• 38:33Ant McPartlin?

  We've whittled it down to two items.

• 38:36Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm.

• 38:36Ant McPartlin?

  The tap shoes.

• 38:37Declan Donnelly?

  Mm-hmm. Oh, no. No, no.

• 38:40Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, it's the tap shoes. You want the tap shoes?

• 38:41Declan Donnelly?

  No, no.

• 38:42Ant McPartlin?

  Not the tap shoes. We read that wrong. It's the distinguished pig from Amber or the chopping board from Mark.

• 38:51Declan Donnelly?

  I've made a decision.

• 38:53Ant McPartlin?

  What are you gonna go for, Famous Guy? Famous Guy, what are you gonna swap?

• 38:59Declan Donnelly?

  I've made my mind up.

• 39:00Ant McPartlin?

  Yep.

• 39:01Declan Donnelly?

  And I think the distinguished pig would look incredible on the shelf here behind us. However...

• 39:09Ant McPartlin?

  Oh!

• 39:12Declan Donnelly?

  I'm gonna go for the chopping board.

• 39:14Ant McPartlin?

  Yes! Oh, that is wonderful!

• 39:18Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 39:18Ant McPartlin?

  That is wonderful.

• 39:19Declan Donnelly?

  Does it mean I have to change the kids' names to Maggie? Because it was Maggie on the chopping board.

• 39:23Ant McPartlin?

  No, I think, I think what you were saying is that you can put your kids' names on there.

• 39:28Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, okay. That's even better.

• 39:29Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 39:29Declan Donnelly?

  That's even better. I was gonna, I was prepared to change the kids' names. They were both gonna be renamed Maggie.

• 39:34Ant McPartlin?

  You could just call them out at Christmas. Hey, Maggie one and Maggie two. No, but, yeah, the chopping board.

• 39:39Declan Donnelly?

  Chopping board. Very cute.

• 39:41Ant McPartlin?

  Well done.

• 39:42Declan Donnelly?

  It's very, very cute.

• 39:42Ant McPartlin?

  Well done, Mark. This Famous Guy is swapping his slow cooker with your chopping board!

• 39:48Declan Donnelly?

  Woo!

• 39:49Ant McPartlin?

  Congratulations on the swap.

• 39:51Declan Donnelly?

  Or should I sign the pot rather than the lid?

• 39:52Ant McPartlin?

  Sign the pot, just in case it comes off in the lid.

• 39:55Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, right. To Mark.

• 40:00Ant McPartlin?

  Happy cooking.

• 40:01Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks for the swap.

• 40:02Ant McPartlin?

  Keep cooking.

• 40:04Declan Donnelly?

  Right, you've gotta sign it as well.

• 40:05Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, what did you put? To Mark. Thanks for the swap.

• 40:10Ant McPartlin?

  There you go. My autograph's slightly bigger than yours.

• 40:14Declan Donnelly?

  There we go.

• 40:15Ant McPartlin?

  Because I'm his favourite.

• 40:15Declan Donnelly?

  Nice doing business with you. Thanks, Mark.

• 40:18Ant McPartlin?

  That's it for this week's Famous Guy Swaps Things. I would like to have another look at Andy's email here, where he still, where he says he still has the signs, the Quiet Please signs from the open. How have we not got them on our shelves? I'm happy to swap something with him, for them.

• 40:36Declan Donnelly?

  Okay, well, let's see what you got.

• 40:38Ant McPartlin?

  Okay.

• 40:39Declan Donnelly?

  The, um...

• 40:41Ant McPartlin?

  The spitting image head?

• 40:42Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 40:42Ant McPartlin?

  I don't think we can give that away. Yeah, but yeah, I'll have a look. Shall I have a little root around?

• 40:47Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah.

• 40:48Ant McPartlin?

  I do have like an old three wood that you might want.

• 40:52Declan Donnelly?

  I think you've got to do better than that.

• 40:53Ant McPartlin?

  I can give away golf stuff, like a three wood, like a five wood, some irons. Shoes?

• 41:03Ant McPartlin?

  Shoes. I can put some golf shoes in there. A heart.

• 41:06Declan Donnelly?

  Hang on, a three wood, a five wood, some irons. That's pretty much a set of clubs.

• 41:10Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, pretty much a set of clubs, pretty much.

• 41:13Declan Donnelly?

  If you're interested in some golf stuff advance, some clubs and shoes and balls and tees and a golf membership. Did you say a membership?

• 41:22Ant McPartlin?

  I didn't say a membership. No, no, no.

• 41:23Declan Donnelly?

  Get in touch with us, [email protected]. We'll do some swapping next week.

• 41:27Ant McPartlin?

  Okay, look forward to it.

• 41:30Ant McPartlin?

  Now, we mentioned earlier in the show that we would give you a little bit of backstage gossip from the Anna Celebrity South Africa final.

• 41:38Declan Donnelly?

  It was quite the night.

• 41:39Ant McPartlin?

  It was. Oh, my God, it had, it had like kind of flashbacks of Jerry Springer over it, didn't it? They just had a little taste of Jerry Springer. There was walkouts. There was people gauling each other. It was, it was a weird night of TV.

• 41:56Declan Donnelly?

  It was very weird. We didn't know quite what to expect when we got to the studio.

• 42:01Ant McPartlin?

  No.

• 42:01Declan Donnelly?

  Because there'd been so much stuff in the press written about who was talking to who and who wasn't talking to who and who was upset with who. So we weren't quite sure what to expect.

• 42:11Ant McPartlin?

  And then we got to the studio and someone said, did you see Craig Charles on This Morning? So we watched quickly on ITVX, watched Craig Charles' interview on This Morning and we were gobsmacked that it had kind of escalated to this, to that stage. So we were like, oh, right. Okay, this could all, because we just thought we'd have a laugh.

• 42:31Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm. And we've seen David Haye on various things, podcasts and interviews, kind of doubling down, tripling down and quadrupling down.

• 42:38Ant McPartlin?

  On his theories about women.

• 42:40Declan Donnelly?

  And, and other stuff and his opinions on Adam and whatnot. So we kind of thought he was gonna come in and shake things up a bit. We didn't know until quite late on whether Jimmy was coming or not. Then we found out that Jimmy was coming, but that he had a bit of a beanies bonnet and he wanted to get that off his chest. So it was kind of a weird night all round. And we'd heard that Gemma and Adam had left the WhatsApp group. And that there was a lot of mourning and complaining in the WhatsApp group and a lot of people.

• 43:10Ant McPartlin?

  We're not in this WhatsApp group. This is WhatsApp group just for the celebrities.

• 43:14Declan Donnelly?

  Um, but a lot of people talking about what they were gonna do and what they were gonna say when the show came around. So we had no idea which way it was gonna go. And actually, the main show went very, very smoothly. On tail, we played Adam's trial and David Haye heckles from the, from the audience. Do you think you deserve to win after all that? And oh, here we go. So that was a taste of what was to come in the second show.

• 43:38Ant McPartlin?

  And, and we said to, to David and to, to Jimmy in the front row, look, you, you'll get your right to reply in, in the results show later. Um, not thinking that we would give them that much right to reply, but that's what happened.

• 43:52Declan Donnelly?

  So we started the results show with, the first question was to Jimmy about why did you call I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here? And then he took us on a really long and intricate discussion about his contract. And when would he get paid and how would he get paid? And I was like, where is this going?

• 44:08Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 44:09Declan Donnelly?

  So it basically turned out that Jimmy wanted his full pay. He, it was unfortunate that he threw Adam under the bus.

• 44:17Ant McPartlin?

  But, but they'd since made up over it.

• 44:19Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, but, yeah, although he didn't care that he's thrown Adam under the bus. Um, he was gonna call I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. He wanted to get paid. Adam was collateral damage. And, uh, the fact that Adam got angry at him for that, well, Jimmy took exception to that.

• 44:35Ant McPartlin?

  He did.

• 44:36Declan Donnelly?

  Which feels kind of weird to me that.

• 44:40Ant McPartlin?

  The whole thing was weird to me and which is why, you know, on the night I said I disagreed with him.

• 44:47Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm.

• 44:47Ant McPartlin?

  Um, quite firmly.

• 44:48Declan Donnelly?

  David Hirst ought to get involved, who wasn't even there.

• 44:51Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, of course you told him.

• 44:53Declan Donnelly?

  Which I told him.

• 44:54Ant McPartlin?

  But then he went, yeah, fair enough, which I thought was pretty good. And then it just, unfortunately, it just kind of went on too long, we thought. We tried to handle it as professionally as we could and keep on tracking. Um, and also we were meant to give a question to every celebrity there.

• 45:11Declan Donnelly?

  That was the real shame is that we were supposed to hear from every single person.

• 45:14Ant McPartlin?

  And then at the end of it, you know, there was a lot of shouting from Jimmy and he left the studio and.

• 45:20Declan Donnelly?

  What should we talk about when we left the stu-

• 45:22Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, we left the studio.

• 45:23Declan Donnelly?

  We left separately, you went first.

• 45:25Ant McPartlin?

  I went first, I saw David Hare first.

• 45:26Declan Donnelly?

  In the car park.

• 45:27Ant McPartlin?

  Standing in the car, there's two people in the car park, David Hare and Jimmy Bullard. I thought, oh God, how's your luck? So anyway, I went over to David Hare and he was like, how brilliant was that? Wasn't that great? And I was like, well, it was certainly talk about TV, I wouldn't call it great. But anyway, we had a laugh and we were cool. And then I walked off and seen Jimmy Bullard and I was just chuck his hand and I was like, look, look after yourself. And he was like, yeah, yeah, cheers, cheers, cheers. So there was no confrontation, there was no, he didn't, wasn't shouting at me, I wasn't shouting at him. I wasn't flanked by two security guards, as it said in the paper. I mean, I think they were kind of, one of them was carrying my bag to the car, which in a Beyonce style. Um, but I'm, I was, I saw Jimmy and went over to Jimmy.

• 46:11Ant McPartlin?

  So there was no kind of argument between us two in the car park.

• 46:15Declan Donnelly?

  I saw David Hare on the way out.

• 46:16Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 46:16Declan Donnelly?

  He went, uh, he said, uh, what about that then? Hope you get some good ratings for that one.

• 46:21Ant McPartlin?

  See, he doesn't care.

• 46:22Declan Donnelly?

  Thanks, David.

• 46:22Ant McPartlin?

  That's, that's what he does, he's a boxer, that's his stock in trade. It's, you know, the calling out from the audience or the, you know, the, uh, when you're at a boxing match, you shout at the fighter in the ring or vice versa.

• 46:32Declan Donnelly?

  You're due to sell pay-per-view.

• 46:33Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, exactly, he's used to it.

• 46:35Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, so it was a bit of sport for him.

• 46:37Ant McPartlin?

  I just felt it was a shame that the crowning moment of I'm a Celebrity South Africa couldn't have been more celebratory. If anything, remember it for Craig Charles having a bath in the washing up bowl. That's how I'll remember it.

• 46:54Ant McPartlin?

  Well, the picture's on the screen, that photograph of Dec from the nineties is back on the screen.

• 46:58Declan Donnelly?

  It's not a photograph.

• 46:59Ant McPartlin?

  Typerdex Tyree.

• 47:05Speaker 07

  What's he writing? What's the score? And the ratings? Give it four. From Biker Road to Sandy's Fame. These two legends changed the game. BJ and Duncan, back in the day. Let's get ready to rumble. Still okay. Text our rate.

• 47:20Ant McPartlin?

  This has got number one written all over it.

• 47:22Declan Donnelly?

  12th of April, 1994. Day 16 of life on the road. Up at 7.30 and off to Heathrow to catch a plane.

• 47:32Ant McPartlin?

  Right.

• 47:33Declan Donnelly?

  Matt, our TV plugger, met us there and we had a very, underlined, quick breakfast.

• 47:41Ant McPartlin?

  Why very quick breakfast?

• 47:42Declan Donnelly?

  Don't know. Onto the plane and up, up and away.

• 47:48Ant McPartlin?

  Who writes like that?

• 47:51Declan Donnelly?

  Me.

• 47:51Ant McPartlin?

  Travel was still a novelty back in the 90s.

• 47:55Declan Donnelly?

  So on the plane, we arrived in Belfast.

• 47:59Ant McPartlin?

  I know what happens here, I think.

• 48:02Declan Donnelly?

  Picked up and driven to the studios. Well, a converted warehouse. It was sort of a why don't you type of programme.

• 48:10Ant McPartlin?

  Yes, I know why don't you very well.

• 48:13Declan Donnelly?

  It was called Over the Wall.

• 48:15Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah.

• 48:15Declan Donnelly?

  I think. We did it. We had a good laugh with water pistols and the bloke on the bike.

• 48:22Ant McPartlin?

  Well, I don't remember that. What was the bloke on the bike? Was that a sketch?

• 48:26Declan Donnelly?

  No idea.

• 48:28Ant McPartlin?

  If you remember Over the Wall, let us know.

• 48:30Declan Donnelly?

  We left around 4pm and flew back from Belfast. We were picked up and taken to Hollywood's in Romford.

• 48:37Ant McPartlin?

  That, oh my God, what a day that was.

• 48:40Declan Donnelly?

  Long old day. We had a gig that night.

• 48:41Ant McPartlin?

  Belfast to Essex.

• 48:44Declan Donnelly?

  Our producer, Nicky Graham, was there along with Denny, Michael and Adam Hollywood.

• 48:51Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, yes.

• 48:52Declan Donnelly?

  From Tellstar Records. They were all there. They'd all come out to the first gig where we had forgotten to bring a CD.

• 49:01Ant McPartlin?

  Did we?

• 49:02Declan Donnelly?

  We didn't have any music.

• 49:03Ant McPartlin?

  We didn't have any music, did mine too.

• 49:05Declan Donnelly?

  We didn't have any music.

• 49:06Ant McPartlin?

  What?

• 49:07Declan Donnelly?

  Our manager left Tonight I'm Free in Kent.

• 49:11Ant McPartlin?

  Oh, what an idiot.

• 49:13Declan Donnelly?

  We had to go on stage in Hollywood's in Romford.

• 49:15Ant McPartlin?

  This rings a bell, you know.

• 49:17Declan Donnelly?

  So we had to go on stage to do the cool mix. It looked, sounded and very definitely felt like the 12 inch version.

• 49:28Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah, that was the end of the day. We um, we stood on stage and performed to a mix we'd never heard before.

• 49:35Ant McPartlin?

  Oh my god, that happened twice to us. It happened there and it happened in Germany on Bravo Super Show.

• 49:41Declan Donnelly?

  That's right.

• 49:41Ant McPartlin?

  Or was it France? Do you go, was it France?

• 49:44Declan Donnelly?

  It was France.

• 49:45Ant McPartlin?

  It was France and we were singing.

• 49:48Declan Donnelly?

  When I Fall in Love.

• 49:49Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah. But it was a dance remix of When I Fall in Love and us nor the dancers who were dancing with us at the side had ever heard it before. So we just had to just keep making it up and dancing weird dance moves.

• 50:04Declan Donnelly?

  Um, but yeah, that was a big gig. We had the record company come to see us, the record producer, everybody came to see us in Essex and we had the wrong backing track.

• 50:13Ant McPartlin?

  Embarrassing.

• 50:14Declan Donnelly?

  Very embarrassing.

• 50:15Ant McPartlin?

  How embarrassing. Does it get better?

• 50:18Declan Donnelly?

  Well, next week.

• 50:18Ant McPartlin?

  Do we, do we learn anything? Do we get more professional? Does our team get more professional?

• 50:23Declan Donnelly?

  Hmm, I doubt, I doubt it.

• 50:25Ant McPartlin?

  I doubt it.

• 50:26Declan Donnelly?

  Um, next week, we have the Smash Hits reviewers in for YME.

• 50:30Ant McPartlin?

  Oh.

• 50:31Declan Donnelly?

  And then the week after.

• 50:32Ant McPartlin?

  You bastard.

• 50:35Ant McPartlin?

  Hope it's better than Just 17.

• 50:36Declan Donnelly?

  So do I.

• 50:37Ant McPartlin?

  Bastards.

• 50:39Declan Donnelly?

  Smash Hits Review is in next week and then the week after, we get the midweek chart position.

• 50:44Ant McPartlin?

  Looking forward to that. Can't wait.

• 50:48Declan Donnelly?

  I'm bringing in the postbag. I'm bringing in the postbag. I brought in the postbag.

• 50:54Ant McPartlin?

  Great, well done. Oh, what's this?

• 50:56Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, let's see what we got.

• 50:57Ant McPartlin?

  Hello, I'm Declan, the hanging out crew. Hi. Oh, you're a crew? You're happy if you call the crew? It's not offensive to you? No. Good. I'm absolutely loving the podcast and couldn't pass up the opportunity to tell you how Declan is slightly, in brackets, slightly responsible for the birth of my first child.

• 51:17Declan Donnelly?

  I only kissed her in Maryland.

• 51:18Ant McPartlin?

  Hello.

• 51:19Declan Donnelly?

  I only kissed her in Maryland's nightclub. Nothing else. No funny business.

• 51:23Ant McPartlin?

  My husband and I were lucky enough to get production tickets to the final Saturday Night Takeaway Show that had a live audience. In the green room, we met both Ant and Declan, who were incredibly kind and lovely. Thanks. Deck was telling us how much he was enjoying life as a dad to Isla and asked me and my husband if we had any children. We said no, but little did Deck know, we had been trying for around a year and a half with no luck. We'd been for tests and there was no explanation as to why we weren't falling pregnant. It had been upsetting and at that point, I had pretty much given up hope and thought maybe motherhood wasn't for me. So to keep the mood light, we just said, no, not yet. And Deck replied, oh, you must. It's the best thing

• 52:03Ant McPartlin?

  in the world. Go home right now and make babies. How awkward is that? You don't know what people are going through. So just keep your mouth shut. Keep your mouth shut. He said it so enthusiastically and was so sweet and sincere. It put a huge smile on my face. So we took his advice and a few weeks later, I got the very much wanted positive pregnancy test and now we have a beautiful five-year-old girl called Marnie and a three-year-old son called Austin. You're not responsible for that one though. Our little family is complete and every time my favourite duo are on screen, the kids say, Uncle Dex on the telly. Thanks for being such rays of sunshine every day. Lots of love from me and the kiddos, Charlotte.

• 52:46Declan Donnelly?

  Oh, Charlotte.

• 52:48Ant McPartlin?

  What a lovely letter to read out.

• 52:50Declan Donnelly?

  That is so lovely. I'm so glad I could help.

• 52:55Declan Donnelly?

  By ordering you to leave the studios immediately.

• 52:58Ant McPartlin?

  And have sex. Go home and have sex. I'm gonna just say that to everybody I meet now. Go and have babies. Go and have babies. In the hub that I get once, in the hub I receive a letter like this.

• 53:11Declan Donnelly?

  That is so lovely.

• 53:12Ant McPartlin?

  That's a lovely letter. You should take that home. Take that home. Show the current Mrs Donnelly.

• 53:18Declan Donnelly?

  I've got another one here. Hello, guys.

• 53:22Ant McPartlin?

  Hi.

• 53:23Declan Donnelly?

  I presume that's everybody. I popped to the range today.

• 53:26Ant McPartlin?

  The driving range?

• 53:27Declan Donnelly?

  I don't know. The shop. It's the shop. This is from Debbie Johnson at Milton Keynes. Hi, guys. I popped to the range today for one thing and as usual, came back with a trolley full of stuff I don't need.

• 53:41Ant McPartlin?

  Always happens.

• 53:42Declan Donnelly?

  Then I spotted a picture on the side of a plant pot and had to do a double take. It looked like a fat ant and Deck. Or should I say, or should I say Deck and Ant?

• 53:59Ant McPartlin?

  It does. It really does.

• 54:01Declan Donnelly?

  I stood there laughing to myself while other shoppers avoided eye contact. Can you see the resemblance too?

• 54:06Ant McPartlin?

  It really looks like us.

• 54:07Declan Donnelly?

  Lots of love and bananas from Debbie in Milton Keynes.

• 54:11Ant McPartlin?

  That really does look like a fat and a dead. I mean, the both look similar. We could, we could, we'll get a little plant next week and recreate the photo. On that little plant pot, I think it's time we wrap up the show.

• 54:25Declan Donnelly?

  Um, keep getting in contact with us. Any swaps for ants stuff? All, all that, um.

• 54:31Ant McPartlin?

  The golf stuff.

• 54:32Declan Donnelly?

  Yeah. We'll be back on Monday with another bonus app.

• 54:35Ant McPartlin?

  We'll have a bonus app. We'll see you there.

• 54:37Declan Donnelly?

  Uh, until then, respect, guys.

• 54:39Ant McPartlin?

  Respect.

• 54:40Declan Donnelly?

  See you later.

• 54:40Ant McPartlin?

  Respect him on door.

• 54:44Declan Donnelly?

  Did you want?

• 54:45Ant McPartlin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
