Ooh! What a Lovely Pair

by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly

This is the book everyone has been waiting for: national heroes Ant and Dec, Britain's most successful television duo, have invited their millions of fans into their world. From youth clubs to blind school, pubs to jungles, there's a wealth of behind-the-scenes anecdotes that have never been told until now. Ant and Dec met when they were thirteen on the set of Byker Grove in Newcastle. They didn't warm to each other immediately, but soon enough they became best mates and have been inseparable both on and off screen ever since. Bad rap, stunts going wrong, schoolboy pranks and off-screen antics are just some of the experiences they write about in this wonderfully entertaining memoir, full of vivid observations, colourful reminiscence and charming digressions, Ooh! What a Lovely Pair will give millions of fans an insight into the genuine intimacy and refreshing sense of humour that the two TV icons share.

Really enjoyed it. I was expecting it to be funnier - it's Ant and Dec, after all, but apart from that it was brilliant. I loved going back to when they very first met and how they became the double act they are today, it was very fascinating reading. To have been friends for so long and to not have had any major fights (the less said about the fight in the lift the better!) is amazing. Wonderful book from my two favourite TV presenters!
