It’s the news we’ve all been expecting: The Chums are coming back to our small screens.
Ant and Dec have confirmed they will reunite for the 20th anniversary of SM:TV, and Cat Deeley will be joining to complete the reunion.
You can watch the television trifecta at their best during this clip from Chums:
And apparently you won’t have long to wait to watch the modern reboot.
Deeley showed up on stage at Saturday Night Takeaway’s live show, which is currently hosted by Disney World Florida for a skit when the announcement was made.
The trio teased the audience amid talks of a Chums reunion, with Cat questioning, ‘Would we be rubbish now?’
GIPHYDec immediately joked, ‘We were rubbish then’ which seemed to be enough to persuade Deeley, as she retorted, ‘Ok let’s do it!’
The news has sent the internet Wonky Donkey:

Frankly, television nostalgia trips have reached peak popularity so this particular journey down memory lane is sure to be welcomed with open arms.
We can’t wait to see what the chums will be up to two decades down the line.
