Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have formed a duo for more than two decades and one of their fans has kept a track of their every move as they spotted a curious pattern in their presenting.
The pair were back on Britain’s Got Talent this Sunday, June 2, hosting an action-packed final which ended with Sydnie Christmas being crowned winner and bagging the £250k cash prize along with the chance to appear in the Royal Variety Performance.
But when her victory was announced by new father Ant, as she managed to overshadow magician Jack Rhodes, one viewer took to X, otherwise known as Twitter, to unveil a strange pattern in the pair’s presenting.

Ant and Dec have presented the talent show since it first aired in 2007, which left plenty of time for the viewer in question to carefully study all the shows they had presented together in the past, ever since hosting Pop Idol in 2002.
“A well deserved win for Sydnie Christmas, but an even bigger win for #BGTfact fans who will be pleased to know that the pattern has continued and Ant announced this year’s winner,” they wrote on X.
The BGT viewer accompanied their statement with their own spreadsheet featuring all of the programs Ant and Dec had hosted, which found that they had alternatively announced the winners for past nine years.
Ant and Dec have followed the same pattern across their other shows, particularly Pop Idol as they have each announced one winner of the series each – Will Young in 2002 and Michelle McManus the following year.
Over on I’m A Celebrity, fronted by the duo since 2002 with the exception of its 18th series, Ant and Dec also took turns for the past twenty years, since the latter did so on two separate occasions in 2005 and 2006.
Faced with the information, another viewer responded with another easyily-forgetten detail writing: “Ant even took the right year off in order to help the sequence carry on.”
This year, Britain’s Got Talent bosses planned ahead as Ant was due to welcome his first child with wife Anne-Marie Corbett.
Due to the possibility of Anne-Marie possibly giving birth around the same time as the live shows, producers lined up potential frontrunners to not leave Declan hosting alone. This Morning presenter Cat Deeley was reportedly kept in mind to replace Ant, much like presenter and magician Stephen Mulhern.
The final went ahead without any presenting shake-up as Anne-Marie gave birth to a son named Wilder. Ant announced the birth of his first child himself, through a post hared on his Instagram account, featuring a first glimpse of the new-born – and admitting he was “a mess” after the happy event.
