Celebrity

I was one of four blokes that done drama at my school.

We never wanted to move to a niche slot at 11 at night so that we could be a lot cleverer and bluer. We just want to do those big light-entertainment shows we loved as kids.

Some presenters can go their whole careers without even having one of the shows that we've got. It's better than working for a living, let's be honest!

It was never really an ambition of ours to crack the States. Things happen and people ask you to do stuff, but we never sat there and said, 'Oh, my God, we must break America!'

I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to historical events, so to get the chance to research our family history using our DNA was too good an opportunity to pass up.

We've been in people's living rooms for a long time... It's lucky that 'I'm a Celebrity' and 'Takeaway' have been going on for so long that they trust us.

Our first flat, in South-West London, was a pig-sty. Dec couldn't even cook baked beans. We were like 'Men Behaving Badly.'

Just saying I'd like to do a sitcom is poison words, isn't it?

The difference between doing a live show and a sitcom is that a sitcom can live on. If you do it well, it can leave a legacy, whereas most of our live work never gets repeated because it's final, it's done, you start again.

I let a lot of people down, and for that I am truly sorry.

Entertainment is about having a blast.

When you're bored, it doesn't necessarily mean the audience is bored.

There's always an extra 10% you give when it's live as suppose to do a pre-recorded show.

SM:TV' is where we learned our trade. It was young, we could try out new sketches every week. When we got better ratings than our BBC rival, 'Live And Kicking,' it was amazing.

To feel love and give love - it's the greatest feeling there is.

For years I thought of many other people. As we all do. But we should all step back and say, 'What's making me unhappy? What's not working for me? What can I take out for a bit and take out long-term that will help me a bit?'

If you grow up poor, I'm not sure you ever shake that off.

Me and Dec are long in the tooth now - we've seen every Bush Tucker trial there is.

What's annoying is we've launched a lot of shows like 'Pop Idol,' and then it goes to the States, and everything stays the same, yet they change the hosts. 'I'm A Celebrity' has been done twice in America now - but they changed the hosts. 'America's Got Talent,' we don't host - somebody else hosts.

I'm just one of those people who happens to be all or nothing. A lot of people can be middle. I'm not.
