The golden trio of Saturday morning television have been giving us serious nostalgia this week in anticipation of the SM
Ant and Dec, both 44, took to Instagram to share a picture of the three of them celebrating the release of Cat’s new children’s book, The Joy in You, on what we can only assume is the set of the reunion and honestly, none of them have aged since SM
Cat also took to Instagram to share her excitement at the book’s release saying, “Encourage your little ones to live out loud and be their truest selves with this silly, sweet, and touching picture book!”
Cat also appeared on This Morning to chat about the SM
She continued, “It actually got a little bit emotional, because I think that it was at a time in our lives that we didn’t have any responsibilities really, we were doing really badly to begin with and then it kind of turned around. We found our feet, we found the chemistry between us and we were just really enjoying it.”
