The next time you watch them on telly, don’t imagine them in a penthouse with a butler. Imagine Ant making his son breakfast. Imagine Dec chasing his kids around the garden. Imagine them both sitting on a sofa, miles apart in the same city, texting each other a daft meme. That’s where they live—in the beautiful, messy, relatable reality of modern family life.
And honestly, isn’t that exactly where you’d hope to find them? It makes you smile. It makes you feel like, just maybe, you could be friends with them too. And if you’re ever in West or South London, keep your eyes peeled. You might just see a Geordie legend searching for a parking space. That’s the real, everyday magic of it all.
