Today ITV shared a cute snap of Holly,37, and Stephen, 41, hosting the show back in 2005 when they were in their 20s.

After Ant and Dec’s SMTV: Live ended in 2003 there was a big void to fill on Saturday mornings, and along came Holly and Stephen with their Ministry of Mayhem.

The show was first broadcast in January 2004 and aired weekly on ITV.

Holly made the move into television by appearing on S Club TV and then Ministry of Mayhem, for which she won a BAFTA in 2006.

Stephen meanwhile was known for his work with magic, and shot to fame when he  was invited to take part in the Royal Variety Performance in front of The Queen.

He was then given a job on the Disney Chanel which led to hosting Ministry and Mayhem with Holly, and the rest is history.
