Ant and Dec refuse to appear on TV tribute show

Presenters say they're too young

Ant and Dec and Trevor McDonald

Ant and Dec have refused to appear on Trevor McDonald's This Is Your Life - because they feel they're too young.

The comedy duo were immensely flattered to be asked onto the hit show, which celebrates the success of household names, but insiders say they didn't think they deserved such a privilege.

‘It wasn’t meant as an insult,’ an insider tells The People.

‘But they look at people like Simon Cowell who’s featured on the programme twice. He’s 48 and they think there are lots of other possible guests who have been around longer than them.

‘Their first reaction was that they weren’t old enough.’ Ant is 31 and Dec is 32.

This Is Your Life started in the UK in 1955 and used to surprise its stars. Now there are no startling shock confrontations with the 'red book'.
