Now, from t.v to singing, to t.v again they boys now have a VERY popular Saturday morning t.v show that they host with the gorgeous Cat Deely (known to the lads as Feely Deely) The marvelous, the wonderfull, the fantastic ......... SM:TV live!!!!!!!!!.(Saturday morning television......live!)

What on earth did we do before the likes of Wonkey Donkey? Chums? Splatton? Challenge Ant? The postbag? THE POKA RAP? What? Okay, so we've established that we all love it. But here is a little extra infomation that I bet you idn't know about the megalomanic show.

For the first months, the show was produced by Ric Blaxhill- who was more famous for bringing unknown pop bands into the world of top of the pops. However it shows that he wasn't all that good, as Dec quoted "The first shows were embarassing" and Cat followed with "I thought we were going to be taken off the air!". So they called in Phill Mount (ex TFI Friday) who replaced Ric at the start of '99. And - as expected- the ratings shot through the roof and zoomed into heaven! In the summer it's ratings hit 2 million!

With the huge success of it, ITV have granted them a 52 week contract. But due to them winning, the best childrens t.v presenters, and the best childrens t.v show awards. Plus kicking live and kicking to the curb and over the road in ratings!.I think they might just go on for a little longer! Yay!. This means more of stars like Jackie Chan, Tara palmer-Tompkinson, Prinze Naseem, Westlife, Atomic Kitten and many many more!

SM:TV then turns into CD:UK (at 11:00-12:30.) Which is a replacement for a chart show. They have live bands on every week and fabulous goodies to give away! Many people ask how they get all the children into the studio while still doing SM:TV. The answer is, they have about 200 kids scurrying in during the last sketch!. Not such a mystery now is it!. 2 weeks ago, they had a first in SM:TV history. During challenge Ant (contest of children Vs Ant's knowledge, kids usually win!)a young girl beat Ant at a SIMPONS QUESTION!. I never thought I'd see the day!. Unmissable!
