Ant McPartlin reveals a VERY exciting update on the SM:TV Live reboot
It's HAPPENING, people
Last updated 30th Jan 2018
As if all this news of a Charmed reboot wasn't enough to give us all the nostalgic '90s feels, it sounds like the wheels are properly in motion for the SM:TV Live comeback.
We all remember plonking ourselves in front of the telly bopping about to B*Witched and screaming at the screen as everyone got those oh-so-obvious Wonky Donkey answers wrong; and now host Ant McPartlin's given us an update as to where they're at with the highly anticipated 20th anniversary show.
Speaking backstage at the 2018 NTAs, where he won the Best Presenter award alongside Declan Donnelly for the SEVENTEENTH year on the trot, Ant told Radio Times, "I think we've just booked a studio, I think we've got some writers involved. So we're kind of at that stage really."
Exciting!
Ant first teased a special anniversary show with Dec and co-presenter Cat Deeley last February, telling Metro newspaper, "It's funny, because we were talking to somebody about this recently as it's 20 years since the launch of SM:TV next year.
"So, we were saying whether we could do an anniversary special or something, and we got carried away with the idea.
"If we did a one off, it would be on at 9.25am, with C.H.U.M.S and all that, and get Cat back."
Then, at last year's BAFTA ceremony, Ant confirmed, "ITV have just agreed to it. They are on board now. We've had the first discussion now and it's going to be August or September next year.
"We can't say too much but we're getting the team back together! It'll be on Saturday morning again at 9.25."
Right, shall we watch the opening titles and weep as we relive our youth? LET'S.
So good!
