Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were left red-faced this weekend after an old clip of them singing Eternal Love resurfaced
Before their appointment to primetime TV, the presenters rose to fame as PJ and Duncan after starring in Newcastle-based CBBC drama, Byker Grove.
In the clip, the Saturday Night Takeaway presenters were dressed in long-sleeved tops, baggy jeans and trains.
Their casual outfits were a far cry from their typical polished look that fans recognize today.
They sang the lyrics to Eternal Love, with lines like, “Back in time when we first met // that time we had I'll never forget.”
In addition to the cringe-worthy lyrics, they also pulled off some questionable moves, as one fan joked on Instagram: “The necks were necking.”
Fans of the double act found the video hilarious, including fellow host Stacey Dooley, who commented: “I've watched about 100 times.”
However, another person admitted they struggled to watch more than six seconds.
A third joked: 'Never let it be said they haven't worked for what they have.'
Another wrote: 'This features the two boys who auditioned for X Factor with a mystery girl.'
