They are my bosses — that really annoys me.
Speaking to The Sun in 2019, Stephen shared: “Ant came up with the idea, they are my bosses — that really annoys me.” Stephen then joked: “The fact is, I have to answer to them.
“But when we made the series, Ant phoned me and said: ‘Listen. We’ve both watched it and this could be the best thing on TV.'”
