ANT AND DEC
Ant and Dec joined in, claiming they were taking a break from showbiz and TV – to spend more time in the kitchen.
In the hilarious announcement, they posed together in a black and white photo wearing tops emblazoned with the slogan ‘Taste Matters’, with the caption: ‘We’ve been thinking about this for a while but wanted you to hear from us first’.
In quotes opposite, Ant said: ‘I believe food has the power to bring people together and create precious memories…
‘That’s how my family feels when I make them beans on toast. I look forward to starting this culinary journey with my sous chef, December.”
Dec, meanwhile, wrote about his love of cheese and branded Ant ‘a brilliant pot washer’, but they failed to deceive fans with the post.

Good morning Great Britain
As the week started, the Good Morning Britain presenters were some of the first stars to pull off a prank – with mixed reviews for the silly start.
Host Charlotte Hawkins was seen modeling a pearl necklace – reportedly once owned by Marilyn Monroe – but she was seen dropping the beads.
As the pearls shot around the studio, co-host Richard Madeley was seen pondering whether the scene was a joke or actually a gaffe.
Unimpressed viewers flooded Twitter, writing: ‘I saw it coming from a mile away, unfortunately gmb did it earlier this morning with a Marilyn Monroe pearl necklace so…
‘Weak and unfunny… as if everyone would have believed that ugly chunky pearl necklace belonged to Marilyn Monroe…
‘The image of her pearls was small and delicate, a pan-to-fat ugly plastic thing placed around the presenter’s neck and then breaking…
“Lord, we did better on April Fool’s Day at school… Oh come on Richard, when you said that, you looked at the camera. I knew it was an April Fool’s joke…
‘If you’re still working next year, don’t look at the camera…. The photo of pearls around her neck was small and the pearls on GMB were bigger. Huge big mistake’.
After the silliness of Good Morning Britain, the stars of This Morning decided to get in on the joke, with presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary at the helm
In a segment about a vase, a woman claimed to have bought the ceramic for £1.50, which turned out to be worth as much as £30,000
