Are Ant and Dec brothers?
Though practically inseparable in the minds of the British public, the two aren’t related.
They first met on the set of CBBC show Byker Grove and became best friends when they were just 13 years old.
Speaking to Weekend Magazine in 2015, they explained how quickly they became BFFs.

Ant said: ‘It just happened immediately. We clicked. We’d spend all day making each other laugh and annoying everyone and quoting Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer lines to each other.’
Dec goes on to add: ‘Then we’d go home and phone each other up, go to the football together or stay over at each other’s houses.’
Ant and Dec’s DNA Journey starts tonight on ITV from 9pm.
