As if to prove that's what they had in mind all along, this is from an interview with Ant and Dec on the PI site ...
Quote:
Pop Idol has been the perfect vehicle for you two, hasn't it?
Ant: Absolutely. We were fans of Popstars and Big Brother and the way Pop Idol was sold to us was that they wanted us to have fun with it. Obviously there'd be a lot of tears as it's a contest, but we could do something lighter. So it took us about two seconds to say yes.
Dec: We were only supposed to come on board in the later stages but we went down to a few of the auditions and had so much fun with the contestants that we kept going back.
