No sympathy here, plus people are going on like he's a national treasure or something FFS, he presents pleb programs on ITV lol, hardly worth a mention.
They get 9 million viewers on a Saturday. That's double viewing figures of any other show in that time slot. Their achievement in TV is impressive. You might think its pleb shows but they kinda are "national treasures"
I don't watch these programs, but I'll tell you now they aren't popular because these 2 present them, they're just generic presenters filling a role. There's nothing special about them at all.

Yeah, and Ed Sheeran sells a gazillion albums, still utter gash.
The fact it's on ITV and 9 mill watch it says it all.
The longevity of Saturday night Takeaway TV show is down to the fact that the presenters are as good as they are. I'm assuming you never watch much of their stuff but they have been loved by millions since their time on SMTV on a Saturday morning.
If they were generic then ITV wouldn't pay so many millions to keep them and they wouldn't continue to win awards year in year out.
If you don't rate them yourself then that's fine. But you can't just say they are generic and easily replaced because nothing backs that up.

That's not shock. That someone who is blind drunk trying so hard to act normal. We have all been there just not behind the wheel of a car!
I don't disagree. Will be interesting to see just how far over he is.
Made me smile.

He’s just split up for his wife of x years. Obviously he’s going to be somewhat unstable. Doesn’t forgive drink driving but he’s hardly criminal of the century just because he’s famous.
There is a certain demographic that watch this kind of show, they lap it up, and that's up to them, but those shows do nothing for Telecaster or Roar 87, and personally I'd rather stick red hot needles in my eyes than suffer that genre, but if that's your poison, knock yourself out, it's your TV.

Ant used “drink-driving”. Critical hit!
Knighthood fainted.
But seriously.... I’ve no sympathy for him, he deserves what he gets and could easily have killed someone through his own selfishness.
What I fail to understand is how some posters are saying he should have advisors, a driver to chauffeur him about, that riding in the car with his mum is scummy and that he’s a chav
I’d like to think that if I was getting paid millions a year I wouldn’t **** it up the wall by employing extra staff to literally help me do something I’ve done all my life. I’d consider myself pretty happy if I was famous and I could still go out in the car with my family (albeit not hammered) without the need for Jeeves my personal driver.
Christ, the double standards is shocking in GD sometimes. If a celeb walks around with a huge entourage they’re criticised and now we’re saying they can’t do “normal” things like driving a car.... wat???

Just a thought, sure, it's okay to take your old mum out in the car for a ride, take her over the park, watch your dogs run around, do all the ordinary things, maybe have a few glasses of wine with your mum after, to enjoy the day,
but if I had bundles of dough, or maybe didn't, but just thought, mmm, I'm getting a buzz on, better use my nut here, I think that I might leave the car where it was, call, or hail a taxi, and go back for the car when I felt that I was sober.
Haters gonna hate.
I think Ant's actions were reckless and he will no doubt be punished in accordance with the law just like anyone else. However, it's apparent (and widely reported) that he is suffering mental health problems. I hope he gets the help he needs and manages to turn his life around.
I don't mind Ant and Dec. They've done bloody well for themselves but they're not infallible, unlike several posters in this thread, clearly.
