This Morning viewers were left seriously distracted by Dec Donnelly and his appearance on the show today.
The 46-year-old, who was appearing alongside Ant McPartlin, had viewers speculating whether he’d slapped on some fake tan before the show!
Ant and Dec on This Morning today
This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary welcomed Ant and Dec onto the show today.
The Geordie duo were on to promote the new series of their hit show, Saturday Night Takeaway, which begins again tomorrow night (Saturday, February 19).
One of the highlights of the show is when Ant and Dec prank celebrities – and this came up during the pair’s interview with Alison and Dermot.

“We’ve got a hit list of people,” Dec revealed. “We’re constantly working, who can we go through…”
“They’d never get us, would they babes,” Alison interrupted as she turned to Dermot.
“What was that, Alison?” Ant asked, grinning.
What happened next?
Alison then asked Ant and Dec if there was any celebrity that they’d really like to prank on the show.
“Well, now you’ve said that – Alison Hammond,” Ant said with a straight face.
“No, genuinely, you would never ever get me,” Alison protested. “Because I’m literally on things like that.”
“Ok, the gauntlet has been thrown down, Alison,” Ant teased as Dec laughed.
Dec then went on to say that they do have a hit list, but they couldn’t reveal who as there’s some they’re still working on.
Ant and Dec then revealed that doing pranks on celebrities has left them paranoid that the celebrities are going to get them back.
“Strange service, angry car park attendants, if there’s just a weird stranger there, we’re like ‘this is an undercover,'” Ant said.
“The worst time is when you have a bad massage or treatment or something and you’re in a state of undress and you’re like ‘oh my god this is an undercover’,” Dec laughed.
What did viewers say about Dec on This Morning today?
However, it wasn’t just the return of Ant and Dec’s show that got some viewers talking – it was Dec’s appearance.
Some thought that Dec had hopped on a sunbed recently, and took to Twitter to poke fun at the 46-year-old.
“Dec with a tan and new teeth!” one viewer wrote.
“Dec looking a nice shade of Madeley…” another said, in reference to Richard Madeley‘s apparent year-round tan.

“Has Dec had a bath in St.Moritz?” a third asked, posting a gif of a very orange Donald Trump alongside their tweet.
Some viewers, however, were less concerned with Dec’s new look and were just happy to see him and Ant back on their screens.
“So excited for Ant and Dec yayyy it’s gonna be so good,” one viewer wrote.
“I do like Ant and Dec,” another said.
“Hahaha bloody mad they are,” a third said of the Geordie duo.
Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway airs tomorrow (Saturday, February 19) at 7pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
