Ant and Dec are  working with presenter Stephen Mulhern – who hosted SM:TV Live in 2003 – on their Saturday Night Takeaway show and the duo admitted that they had been approached to do a anniversary special.

Speaking to the Metro, Ant said: “We were talking to somebody about this recently because it’s twenty years since the launch of SM:tv next year.

“So, we were saying whether we could do an anniversary special or something, and we got carried away with the idea.

He continued: “If we did  it a one off, it would be on at 9.25am, with C.H.U.M.S and all that, and get Cat back!”
