Ant McPartlin has hinted that his iconic Byker Grove could make a return as he and Dec Donnelly bring back the show that first shot them to fame over 30 years ago.
It was back in 1989 that the much loved programme launched on the BBC, quickly becoming a teatime staple for families across the country. While it was aimed at a more teenage audience, it was also a big favourite with younger viewers and their parents, who couldn't get enough of all the high jinks and drama at the Newcastle youth club.
Ant, joined the Byker Grove cast slightly later than Dec, but it wasn't long before PJ and Duncan the double act was born, with the two becoming the show's biggest stars. The now ITV presenters were at the centre of many memorable Byker Grove scenes, most notably when PJ was blinded in a paintballing accident and when they launched their pop career with single Tonight I'm Free.
