Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were left red-faced over the weekend after an old clip of them singing Eternal Love resurfaced.

Before their appointment on primetime TV, the presenters shot to fame as PJ and Duncan after starring in Newcastle-based CBBC drama, Byker Grove.

Following their successful stint on the show, Ant and Dec, both 48, performed together using the names of their characters from the series.

A video of them performing the track on This Morning in 1994 has now gone viral, with fans of the pair branding it a ‘difficult watch’.

The clip hasn’t gone unnoticed by Ant and Dec themselves, who commented underneath the video, writing: ‘Hahahaha!! It’s a more difficult watch for us.’

In the clip, the Saturday Night Takeaway hosts were dressed in long-sleeved tops with baggy jeans and trains.

Their casual outfits were a far cry from their typically polished appearances recognisable to fans today.

They belted out the lyrics to Eternal Love, which included lines such as: ‘Back in the days when we first met // those time we had I’m never gonna forget.’

Along with the cringe-worthy lyrics, they also busted some questionable moves, as one fan joked on Instagram: ‘The necks were necking’.

Fans of the double act found the video hilarious, including fellow presenter Stacey Dooley, who commented: ‘I’ve watched approx 100 times.’

However another person admitted they struggled to watch more than six seconds.

A third joked: ‘Never let it be said that they haven’t work for what they’ve got.’

One other, wrote: ‘This is giving the two lads that auditioned on X Factor with mysterious girl.’
