I'm a massive fan of Ant and Dec and i loved reading ''Loving every Second''.It's a brilliant book which features info on Ant and Dec's childhood,the fantastic days of Byker Grove,the unforgettable days of PJ and Duncan,up to them presenting fabulous shows such as SM.tv live,pop idol,i'm a celebrity.... and the award winning Saturday Night Takeaway and not forgetting them turning into Britain best loved geordie duo!

This is a great book
I don't usually read biographys but I really wanted to read this one most probably because I'm obbsessed with Ant and Dec and absolutly love them, but as soon as I began to read it I couldn't put it down. It was really fun to read about them in there childhood and it was gripping reading some things. I would recomend this book to any one because there childhood was so fun, now I want to have an exciting childhood just like theirs and I want to grow up to be just like them, or marry Dec.

Ant and Decs " Loving every second" Not to be missed!!!
If you adore Ant and Dec like I do then this is the book for you! With great photos of the geordie lads from past to present and great facts about what life at SM:TV was like then this is one of the few cases of money well spent!!!
