Ant and Dec beam as they reunite with SMTV co-star Cat Deeley for an ‘incredible evening’

Ant and Dec beamed as they reunited with SMTV co-star Cat Deeley for an ‘incredible evening’ on Monday. 

The hit ITV presenting duo, both 46, originally hosted SMTV: Live with Cat, 45, back in 1998, catapulting them to nationwide stardom and departed the series in 2001 to pursue their TV presenter careers. 

Cat took to Instagram to give her 295,000 Instagram followers an insight into the fun filled reunion two decades after they worked together.

The blonde beauty looked radiant in a glam face of makeup, a black blouse and a red patterned cardigan. 

While the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here hosts looked dapper as they posed for selfies next to Cat. 

Ant looked smart in a black blazer and matching trouser as he sported a nude shirt under neither.
