‘EXCITED’ Ant and Dec reunited with Cat Deeley as they shared first look at the SM:TV Live reunion.
The stars are reuniting for a special show of the ITV Saturday morning hit which they hosted from 1998 to 2001.
Ant and Dec left in 2001 while Cat stayed on until the following year.
Now 18 years after they left the show, Cat Deeley, 43, has teased fans with a latest look of the episode.
Sitting next to Ant and Dec, both 44, she captioned the pic: “SMTV reunion @antanddec….. All those in favour say “I” …..”
In the pic, Ant is wearing a checked shirt, with fellow presenter Dec is donning a blue jacket, white shirt and blue jeans.
Meanwhile, Cat is wearing latex trousers and a simple grey top.
However, the fashion choices are a far cry from those of the late 90s and early 00s, featured in the second pic Cat uploaded.
Ant is wearing a blue turtle neck, with Dec donning a brown shirt – both with a heavily gelled hairstyle.
Cat opted for a skin-tight, long-sleeved white shirt, with her hair tied up.
Ant and Dec confirmed the reunion special earlier this month as part of their celebrations marking 30 years in showbiz.
An insider said: “SMTV was such a huge part of Ant and Dec’s career they knew they wanted to mark it in some way.
“The show will look back on some of the best moments and see old guests reminisce.”
Cat revealed that Ant and Dec were in floods of tears when they reunited for the 20th anniversary of SMTV – which airs later this year.
Cat admitted that the trio broke down in tears as they reunited for a special documentary to celebrate Ant and Dec’s 30 years on screen together.
Speaking to radio host Chris Moyles on Radio X, an emotional Cat said: “We have filmed a documentary, it’s going to be aired at the end of the year. We went back to the studio where we did it. They rebuilt the set.”
Cat confessed that they were all balling their eyes out when they toured the studio where the SMTV set had been rebuilt.
She added: “We all cried. I walked in and they were doing their interview and Dec was crying and I was like ‘ok you’re crying!’ and then at the end of my interview I was like [sobs] ‘waaah!’.”
SMTV Live ran for more than 270 episodes, with Ant and Dec at the helm for the first three years.
Speculation has mounted over the last couple of years that a reunion could be on the cards, and speaking to the Radio Times at the National Television Awards on Tuesday, the presenters hinted SMTV Live could return this year.
Dec said: “Watch this space! We might do something a little bit later in the year but we’ll let you know when we’ve got more firm plans.”
