Passage: Ant & Dec are an English comedy TV presenting duo, consisting of Anthony McPartlin OBE  and Declan Donnelly OBE , from Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Due to a difference in height - Ant being the taller at 5 ft 8 in , and Dec being two inches shorter at 5 ft 6 in  - the pair identify themselves in the media by adopting the use of the 180-degree rule, with the exception of some early publicity shots. In addition to presenting, the duo are accomplished actors - both had leading roles in the 2006 film Alien Autopsy - operate as television producers - they own their own production company, Mitre Television  - have presented the annual Brit Awards in 2001, 2015 and 2016, and are former pop musicians who operated under the aliases of their characters from Byker Grove.
