And Here We Go Again…

April 16th, 2010

 

Well hello everyone,

 

We hope you’re looking forward to what promises to be a rather eventful few weeks on the telly…we know we are!

 

We’ve just arrived back in the country after indulging ourselves with a quick holiday - a great chance to recharge the batteries, soak up a little bit of sun and generally get some R&R after finishing Push the Button. We really enjoyed the whole series, and we have to say a big thanks to all of you for the support, we loved every minute of it and it’s nice to know that so many of you did as well.

 

Also, we hope you’ve enjoyed our online, bite-size challenges… Dec put up a brave fight throughout but it seems he was never quite able to take the lead - If you haven’t seen them, get watching (It’s a great chance to have a laugh at Dec’s expense, it’s always fun)!

 

We’ve also managed to squeeze a bit of business into our downtime over the last couple of weeks - We’ve been in Cannes for the MIP TV Festival to promote Push the Button. The Portuguese have bought the rights to show and (would you believe it?) the Finnish were ‘very interested’. Global domination is in our sights - you know how the saying goes, ‘today Portugal and Finland…tomorrow the world!’ Mwahaha! (sorry, got a bit carried away there)

 

But, any plans of global expansion will have to be put on hold for a little while, as first it’s back to Blighty to unleash the madness of Britain’s Got Talent. Can you believe it’s that time of year already?! It seems the BGT media blitz has kicked off with a bang- when we got back from France every tabloid had a countdown for when the first show starts and already stories of some of the contestants are starting to pour out…the hype has well and truly begun.

 

We held all the auditions back in January and February, but we’re so excited and looking forward to showing you all the insanity, calamity, hilarity and of course genuine talent that make up this year’s contestants - and we’ve already seen it all!

 

Only one more day until Britain shows us what it’s made of!

 

Can’t wait! See you on the Telly!

Hey this is my first time on this site, I am a huge fan (i’m not going to say your biggest because I’m sure you don’t want 50 billion and 1 number 1 fans) You guys are great and hilerious Although I do want to know why you stopped with the chocolate challenge I enjoyed watching you sticking chocolate buttons to your faces and stuffing you mouths with marshmallows.

HAVE A GREAT SHOW TONIGHT , LOVE ABBY XXXX


Sanna - Finland says:

“and (would you believe it?) the Finnish were ‘very interested’.” :O

I’ll believe it when I see the show on telly over here. But to be honest, I doubt I’ll be watching it. It won’t be the same without you two. Same thing with Finland’s got talent. Not the same :(

I wish they’d show BGT over here. I’ll have to rely on Youtube once again to see your lovely faces and the wonderful weirdos auditioning ;)


Ellie - Adelaide South Australia says:

:D Yay what a great blog!
A bit disappointed this year, being in Australia everything is so crummy on television here, all I want is to watch my BGT on the official site but it’s changed! Now it’s an ITV site and it’s blocked in Australia and pretty sure everywhere else BUT the UK. Fairs fair I guess but you know eh.

I also get envious when Britain’s Got Talent is on, Push The Button, anything really, all those people who get to see you on TV etc. And the lucky ones who get to meet you! :)

Love you both especially Ant (woo, Ant).

From Australia’s biggest Ant and Dec fan (well not officially but I’d say so), love Ellie <3 <3 :)


holly love you ant and dec xxxx says:
