Ant and Dec look worse for wear after a daytime date with their partners

The pair and their wives were seen enjoying an afternoon at a top London restaurant

ANT and Dec treated their partners to a double date at a swanky London eatery, and left looking like they’d fully enjoyed a daytime booze-up

The Geordie duo, both 40, were spotted outside seafood restaurant and champagne bar Scott’s in Mayfair with their wives, Lisa Armstrong, 39, who married Ant in 2006, and Ali Astall, who got hitched to Dec in August 2015.

Dressed casually in a green and white check shirt and black jeans, Ant along with Lisa, who was wearing a black long-sleeved top, paired with a chic mid-length grey pleated skirt and black boots, were caught by cameras stepping outside the posh fish restaurant for a cheeky cigarette break.

As the couple re-entered the restaurant, Ant was looking particularly tired, as he rubbed his face, after perhaps making the most of the champagne bar that the Mayfair gaff has to offer.

As they exited Scott's, Dec and Ali were seen to have opted for somewhat of a his ‘n’ hers’ style choice, both donning grey jackets, with Ali teaming hers with a white shirt, skinny blue jeans and ankle boots, and Dec going for a white T-shirt, black cardigan, black trousers and boots.

The pictures of the couples’ afternoon get together emerge as sources claim that Ant and Dec have “threatened to quit” Britain’s Got Talent, when their contract ends this year.

It’s believed that the duo, who found fame in nineties kids’ show Byker Grove will be offered a deal worth £30million over three years in a bid to keep them and save Simon Cowell’s talent show.

As it stands, they are currently thought to earn around £8.4million a year, so the cool £30m deal, would certainly see them splashing out at even more champagne and oyster bars.

The loveable presenters certainly have a lot to celebrate as they were both awarded OBEs in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for their services to broadcasting and entertainment, om June 11th.

The ecstatic pair took to Instagram to express their “shock” and “honour.”

“We are both shocked, but incredibly honoured to receive OBEs.

“We absolutely love what we do and have done since we started out aged 13. We are very passionate about the shows we present and we were especially honoured this year to host both The Queen's 90th Birthday Celebration and the 40 Years of the Princes Trust documentary.

It's been a major year for the presenters, who recently received OBEs

“What we do also allows us to work with some amazing charities that really do make a difference.

“2016 has been a fantastic year so far, and we're so grateful for all the support we receive.

“We are just two ordinary lads from the west end of Newcastle. We hope us receiving this honour can inspire young people to chase their dreams and believe that anything is possible.

“This will definitely be the proudest our mams have ever been!”
