Takeaway is their best vehicle but their links on this show are second to none and are easily the best thing about it.

Maybe so, its another reason for me not to watch because i'm bored of them now, BGT/Brit Awards is also bad enough with them hosting.. Take away is okay tbh.

I know people always say Ant and Dec are overexposed and I used to agree but I really don't anymore

Takeaway starts at the end of February and BGT finishes at the start of June, they then don't return for five months until November when they do three weeks of IAC and one night of Text Santa a few weeks later. It's really not that much at all compared to the days when they were doing stuff like PokerFace and Red or Black? as well.

Maybe not as much these days but they are a lil overexposed which is why they always win the presenter award.. We hardly see Dermot and god knows why Emma is not nominated for the award.

I realised a while back that Dermot probably won't make the shortlist anymore and that's sad I always wanted him to win it once

In all honesty though the reason they always win it is because they genuinely are one of, if not the best presenters on British TV. They could appear on one show a year and I think they'd still win. I love loads of other hosts and it'd be nice to see someone else win but they do thoroughly deserve every award they win

I wouldn't actually be surprised to see Emma make the shortlist next year now Dermot's out.
