Ant & Dec
Ant & Dec were a British entertainment duo made up of Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. They were well-known celebrities on Earth in the late 20th century and early 21st century.
They were bound together by invisible space handcuffs in the 1990s. (TV: Dermot and the Doctor [+]Loading...["Dermot and the Doctor (TV story)"])
Dec survived the Vore invasion of Earth in 2005, while Ant was missing and presumed dead. (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles [+]Loading...["The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)"]) However, Ant was later revealed to be alive in 2011.
They hoped the Eleventh Doctor would be able to free them from their handcuffs. When the TARDIS materialised in their home, Ant and Dec asked Dermot O'Leary if the Doctor could free them. Dermot, however, stated he was busy and left. (TV: Dermot and the Doctor [+]Loading...["Dermot and the Doctor (TV story)"])
Owen Harper and Jack Harkness asked themselves which one of them was Ant and which was Dec while examining photos of a dead Weevil; it was ready for when the photos would end up on the internet and the pair would have to pretend they faked them like in the film. Jack asked which one was straight, to which Owen replied that they both were. Owen compared them both to Chucky dolls. (PROSE: Slow Decay)
