Ant and Dec confirm SM:TV Live reunion with Cat Deeley WILL HAPPEN to celebrate show’s 20th anniversary

ANT and Dec have confirmed SM:TV Live will return for a one-off special next year.

The Geordie duo announced the happy news on Saturday Night Takeaway's Walt Disney World Special after introducing their former co-host Cat Deeley to the stage.

The trio hosted the hit ITV Saturday morning show from 1998 until 2003 with the show set to celebrate its 20th anniversary next year, with rumours starting earlier this year that the three stars would reunite to acknowledge it.

After Cat was unveiled as Maskface in their sketch The Missing Crown Jewels, the pair spoke to the 40-year-old about their time together back in the day.

Ant said: "It was great working together though wasn't it?

"We loved it, absolutely loved it."

Cat - who previously said she would be open to a reunion - agreed saying: "Yeah it was great, really, really fun."

Dec added: "This was the first time the three of us have kind of worked together since SM:TV Live, since we kind of broke up then.

"We had some great times didn't we on Saturday morning?"

The gang then looked back at a clip of them getting the giggles over a readers letter before the camera came back to them live at the Magic Kingdom.

Ant said: "Now Cat, that will be 20 years next year, I reckon - we were talking - we should do a 20 year reunion next year.

"What do you reckon? Are you up for it?

"Shall we do it? Shall we do a one off?"

Cat pretended to deliberate as the crowd cheered a big 'Yes' before she said: "But would we be rubbish now?"

Dec quipped: "We were rubbish then!"

She replied: "OK yeah let's do it!"

Ant let out a big cheer while Dec said he was "looking forward to it already".

Cat replied: "I think I might be terrible, but we'll see!"
