Zig and Zag

We’ve got some quite important but also quite annoying news for you: Zig and Zag are coming back to a TV screen near you.

They were last seen properly circa 2006 on MTV, though they popped up briefly on Big Brother’s Little Brother in 2010. But we know them best from The Big Breakfast (WELL ‘90s).

They were SUPER ANNOYING, but we also loved them quite a bit. Our mums definitely didn’t love them. This made us like them even more.

See above for a vintage Big Breakfast video featuring Zig and Zag with actual Ant and Dec and Chris Evans.

And now the annoying/amazing duo are coming back – with a CBBC cartoon next year. Which means that Zig and Zag will be passed/forced onto the next generation whether they like it or not. Excellent.

Yay for nostalgia!

Yay for more nostalgia!
