Ant McPartlin shares EMBARRASSING snap of Dec Donnelly for his birthday 😂
It's what best friends do after all!
Last updated 26th Sep 2019
When you think of celebrity TV pairings, the likes of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, and Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman come to mind, but the most popular duo possibly on the planet is Ant and Dec!
After the boys were temporarily split up last year whilst Ant took time off to recover from his addictions, the boys have been reunited on Britain's Got Talent, and now Ant has reminded us all just why we love the Geordie duo so much.
Dec celebrated his 44th birthday yesterday (Wednesday 25th September), and BFF Ant just couldn't help but embarrass his mate on social media.
Posting a hilarious photo of Dec dressed up as Marge Simpson on the pair's shared Twitter account, Ant wrote, 'I had to quickly get a birthday photo out there to celebrate the little fella’s big day!! 🤣 You’re welcome Declan!! Love The slightly bigger fella'. sic
Fans were quick to comment on the funny photo, with many sending their birthday wishes to Dec.
One user wrote, 'Aww so happy to see you on twitter ant love you! 💙 and happy birthday dec!'. with another adding, 'This is so sweet!!! Love you both x ❤️ @antanddec'. sic
A third then wrote, 'I was waiting for this tweet! 🤣❤️ Happy birthday Declan xx @antanddec'. sic
And it looks like dad-of-one Dec certainly enjoyed his 44th birthday celebrations, taking to Instagram earlier today to reveal how he celebrated. Posting a snap of himself blowing out candles on his cake, Dec wrote, 'Happy Birthday to me! Had an outstanding birthday meal at @hutongshard last night. Amazing food and warm, friendly service. I can’t wait to go back already. D'.
Meanwhile, as well as currently working together on Britain's Got Talent: The Champions, Ant and Dec are also gearing up for the 2019 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Despite Holly Willoughby stepping in to replace Ant during last year's series, it's been confirmed that the Geordie presenter will return this year, with the pair teasing they are about to discover the line-up.
Posting a photo of themselves at ITV HQ, Ant and Dec wrote, ', 'At @itv having meeting about @imacelebrity. Finding out what’s in store and this years celebs.... 😲🤐🤐'. sic
Check out the rumoured line-up for I'm A Celebrity 2019 below:
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall sent fans into meltdown in September, when he hinted at an appearance in the jungle on social media.
Posting a snap of himself on Instagram, Alan wrote, 'It's a jungle out there 🐛😉', leaving fans convinced he's signed up for the 2019 series.
Myles Stephenson
Following his shock split from Love Island star Gabby Allen, ITV bosses are reportedly keen to sign former X Factor winner Myles Stephenson up for the show.
According to reports, Myles is keen to get away and head out to Australia.
Rumours were fueled even further when Myles failed to attend a gig with the Rak-Su boys last week.
Stacey Dooley
Following her successful stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, bookies have made Stacey Dooley one of the favourites to sign up for I'm A Celebrity 2019!
Lucy Fallon
Speaking to the Daily Star last year, Lucy said, "I think I'd be good at the jungle. I like to challenge myself and that's the most challenging show you can do,"
Of course, a number of Lucy's fellow Corrie co-stars are also rumoured, so we will have to wait and see if any of them do sign up.
Katya Jones
Following THAT kiss with comedian Seann Walsh during last year's Strictly Come Dancing, despite being married to fellow professional Neil Jones, Katya is a favourite to appear in the jungle.
She's also just been eliminated from Strictly so could she be heading into the jungle?

Dani Dyer
Following her massive success off the back of last year's Love Island, bosses are reportedly very keen to sign up Dani Dyer for the show.
Danny Dyer
As well as Dani, her dad, EastEnders actor Danny Dyer is also tipped to appear on the show.
Olivia Attwood
Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood has confirmed she's 'in talks' with I'm A Celebrity bosses for the 2019 series!
Rahul Mandal
He stole the hearts of the nation when he won The Great British Bake Off in 2018, so it's no surprise ITV bosses are keen to get Rahul on the show.
Kate Garraway
Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway was apparently due to appear on I'm A Celebrity last year, but she was forced to 'drop out' last minute.
Could we see Kate in the jungle this year?
Georgia Steel
After her conman boyfriend 'stole her money', Love Island's Georgia Steel is keen to appear on the popular show.
Of course, she's no stranger to a reality show, having already starred on Love Island and Celebs Go Dating.
Gemma Collins
It wouldn't be a rumoured TV list without The GC. After appearing on I'm A Celebrity back in 2014, and lasting only a few days, it appears Gemma is ready to go back into the jungle to prove her doubters wrong.
Jacqueline Jossa
Former EastEnders actress Jac Jossa is set to appear on this year's show. Despite rumours suggesting she will be on Celebrity X Factor, the actress has reportedly turned down the show for a place in the jungle.
A source said, "Jacqueline will not be appearing in on Celebrity X Factor. She did have initial meetings about the possibility but it was decided that things wouldn't be taken any further".
Duncan James
Blue singer and former Hollyoaks actor Duncan James has reportedly signed up to the jungle to conquer his phobia of snakes. A source close to the star revealed bosses think he would be 'tv gold' when facing trials and 'is the perfect fit for the jungle'.
Kym Marsh
Another soap star! Former Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has sparked rumours she's going to appear on the show.
Writing in her OK! Magazine column, Kym wrote, 'I'd be terrible! I wouldn't like the bugs or the sleep deprivation and I'd never jump out of a helicopter. My camp mates would probably starve because I'd fail to win any stars! Never say never, but I don't want to do any reality shows so soon after leaving the Street later this year.'
Richard Madeley
After he reportedly turned down a role on this year's Strictly Come Dancing, bookies have slashed the odds for Richard Madeley to appear in the jungle this year!
James Lock
TOWIE star James Lock has seemingly put himself forward for this year's series. He told OK! Magazine, "I'm A Celebrity is something I've always wanted to do and I think I would boss it in there."
Nadine Coyle
Former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle has reportedly been 'confirmed' to appear on the show. Reports suggest bosses want her to 'spill secrets' about her apparent feud with Cheryl.
Ian Wright
2018 winner Harry Redknapp reportedly ''let slip' his friend Ian Wright has signed up for the 2019 series for a fee of £1 million.
After going to see Harry on tour, a fan tweeted, 'Just got home from seeing @Redknapp in Nottingham. Interestingly, he let slip that Ian Wright has been paid £1m to appear on this year's #ImACeleb.' sic
Andrew Whyment
Another day, another Corrie rumour! As well as the likes of Alan Halsall, Lucy Fallon and Kym Marsh, Coronation Street favourite Andrew Whyment has also reportedly 'signed up' for the 2019 series.
Caitlyn Jenner
According to reports, Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Caitlyn Jenner has signed a huge deal to join the show and is set to receive an eye-watering £500,000 fee, which would be one of the biggest if rumours are true.
Roman Kemp
TV personality and son of former EastEnder's actor Martin Kemp has reportedly signed up for the show, despite some old tweets resurfacing.
Adele Roberts
Big Brother 2002 star Adele Roberts is set to make her comeback to reality TV, reportedly signing up for the 2019 series of I'm A Celebrity.
I'm A Celebrity is expected to return in November 2019.
