INFORMATION CONTACT US LINKS Ant and Dec have always been managed by Geoff - the hairy leader from Byker Grove, who is on 98% of their royalties. The only disagreement they've ever had was when Geoff wanted to change their name from PJ and Duncan to Ant and Dec. They were worried that the name change would confuse the public, whereas he thought that since they have always been 'Ant and Dec' in Europe, the name change would simply save money on packaging. Geoff also manages Donna Air (Angel), but lost Spuggie and Noddy in a game of cards with Mr Bronson (Michael Sheard) off Grange Hill. For their first single, 'Tonight I'm Free', not only did they use their Byker Grove names, Ant also had to pretend to be blind since the character PJ had gone blind in the episode warning of the dangers of masturbation at the end of series 7. Lars Ulrich from Metallica based his beard on Geoffs, who in turn based his on the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. 90% of the kids who watched the Byker Grove's gay kiss between PJ and Duncan without blinking during it grew up to be homosexual, just as the Daily Mail had warned following it's broadcast. Ant is worried that his long forehead means that alongside Richard E Grant, an occordian, Alistair McGowan, and Herman Munster, Alistair McGowan will be able to do an impression of him and make it look as well as sound right without it appearing like an elongated version. However, Alistair can't do Newcastle. 'U Crazy Cats' by PJ and Duncan AKA got played by Westwood on his Radio 1 rap show after a copy was accidentally pressed with this picture on the cover. As soon as he realised who'd made it, Westwood didn't like it any more, but not before he'd given a copy to Method Man to take back to America with him. As a direct result of Method's subsequent name dropping, their album "The Cult of Ant and Dec" was produced by Timbaland, and released on Death Row records in America. Their music is still quite popular in Sweden, where they have to go and do a months tour each year. Jenifer Lopez wouldn't appear on CDUK until Dec was painted black. Ant's worst job ever was when, age 5, he was sent to work round the back of Argos. "It's not a warehouse, as you might expect, but rather a random pile of boxes with all the goods thrown in a heap. Kids have to scramble around to find the customer's order within 5 minutes or miss out on lunch. Once the goods lorry came and one kid din't get out of the way in time and was crushed by a poncey home rowing machine in a box...erm.. like,mon.", he lied. Dec always keeps his house quite cold as he believes having loose hanging balls is something only the lower classes should do. In order to get in shape, Ant drank nothing but locosade for two whole months. Also on the health note, he once believed that he had a magic t-shirt that made him run fast, but then realised that he wasn't going any faster, it was just that the picture on it was blurred. Jonathan King actually applied to make a comeback on Ant and Dec's Pop Idol show. However, his application was denied when he was discovered to be too old to go on. When quizzed about this, it turned out that he actually believed that he was only 17, as his parents had convinced him that you only have one birthday every three years. This explained many things, including why noone saw him as the new Mozart when he wrote 'Johnny Reggae' at the age of 9. He suddenly felt very old. PRETEND PAPARAZZI
