Declan Donnelly is a good presenter, there's no reason why he cannot do his presenting job on his own. He doesn't need Mcpartlin now or in the future.

    I think we are referring to Ant and Dec? The poor chap has obviously got a serious problem. They have been at the top of their game for many years. Not saying I am a fan but that seems to be a fact with all the awards they win. I suspect the pressure is catching up. They found fame at quite a young age (Byker Grove) and don't seem to have looked back.

    In our house the words Ant & Dec are inevitably followed by a search for the "off" button! smile

    Not  this old  goat's  cup  of  tea  either,  BUT  it's  so  very  sad  to  hear  of  a  man  falling  to  pieces  like  this.  Just  hope,  that  this  time,  his  treatment  results  in  a  real  &  permanent  cure. 

    There  are  too  many  memories  of  the  decline  &  fall  of  Paul  Gascoigne  for  my  liking.

    Up to now whenever I've seen that pair on TV, I've never quite fathomed why they need two people to do one person's presentation. 

    Maybe now ITV will have a rethink and either offer the job to Declan Donnolly to do on his own by ditching Mcpartlin completely, or if he doesn't want it, appoint a completely new presenter. There are plenty of good ones around just itching to  take on a high profile presenting job. 

    As it is, the "Ant and Dec" image is tarnished beyond repair and that's it. They will be toxic in any future programme the ITV puts out if that company  doesn't take prompt action sooner than later.
