Saturday Night Takeaway: Ant, Dec and Cat Deeley recreate their classic SMTV spoof Chums

Saturday Night Takeaway fans were in for a treat this weekend as Ant and Dec and their SMTV co-star Cat Deeley recreated their spoof comedy Chums.

The trio hosted their Saturday morning kids show from 1998 to 2003, with one hugely popular segment seeing them create a parody of TV show Friends, with Dec and Cat starring as lovebirds.

And Saturday night saw the gang recreate their classic show with the likes of Sting, Steps, Emily Atack and Brian McFadden joining in the fun.

It’s back! Saturday Night Takeaway fans were in for a treat this weekend as Ant and Dec and their SMTV co-star Cat Deeley recreated their spoof comedy Chums

Fans of Chums will remember that the end of the series saw Dec finally marry the woman of his dreams Cat, with a star-studded guest list that included none other than Mariah Carey as a bridesmaid.

Fast-forward 20 years and while Dec and Cat think they’re preparing to celebrate their big anniversary, little do they know that they’re not actually married as Ant forgot to get their marriage certificate signed all those years ago.

In the remake of their hilarious comedy, Ant gets ordained and prepares to marry the pair for real – with a host of big names making special guest appearances.

The pair hilariously photobombed the star as she posed in a photoshoot, while Ant donned a koala costume and wreaked havoc behind her as she read a story.

The prank culminated in a fire being set behind her with the sprinklers being set off, causing chaos in the studio.

Though Cat rescued the koala from the fire, thinking it was a work experience student inside, she later said in the studio that if she’d known it was Ant, she wouldn’t have bothered. 

Saturday Night Takeaway continues Saturday at 7pm on ITV.
