The popular duo reflected on how much their lives have changed over the years as they collected their 23rd TV presenter prize
TV favourites Ant Mc Partlin and Declan Donnelly have secured their 23rd consecutive win at the National Television Awards .
He then said: "What can we say? Thank you so much. It's really, really hard to put into words just how this feels year after year and how much it means to us that you take the time to vote for us and make us your winners." Ant added: "Honestly, it's a joy, we know we're not gonna win it one year but it's not tonight, thank God. But thank you to everybody who works with us on our shows, we love you, we wouldn't be here without you guys.
"It used to be we'd be going out partying and now we're going back to dirty nappies and the school run tomorrow. My girl Isla is six now, she left for school this morning and said 'Good luck, I hope you win the trophy'. In fact, she said, 'Take my lip balm, I think it'll be good luck'.
Ant didn't hold back his promise to their fans, assuring that they would keep lighting up the small screen "as long as you want us to". Offstage, the pair dished out on what's underpinning their enduring success: Ant attributed it to their bond, saying, "We met at 13 and we have grown like friends do. We're friends first and foremost and the TV comes after that. So I think that's at the heart of it, you know you're watching friends.
Dec was blindsided by Ant's struggles; he was so taken aback by the news of the crash that he found it hard to accept. "It felt like a nightmare, that there'd been a mistake. 'Of course he didn't do that,'" he recounted. The day after the accident, the two had a candid conversation where Ant owned up to his actions before they met with ITV executives to discuss their future. Dec shared with the Guardian: "We had a heart-to-heart.
