Ant and Dec 'reunite with Cat Deeley for new Chums'

Ant and Dec reportedly pen a script for a new Chums sketch and have Cat Deeley on board to appear.

Ant and Dec have reportedly reunited with Cat Deeley to produce a new episode of their classic sketch series Chums.

The Friends parody aired as part of SMTV Live in the late '90s and was renowned for its celebrity cameos.

According to The Sun, the pair have written a script for a new Chums sketch almost 20 years after it last aired and are planning to film it as part of a new TV show they are developing.

"Chums was one of SMTV Live's most popular sketches so they always wanted to revisit it at some point in the future," a source told the newspaper.

"They've worked on a script they think justifies bringing it back as part of a TV project they're in talks for. And they've met with Cat in the last couple of weeks and she's on board too.

"They've started to ask celebrity pals, of which all three have many, to see who fancies taking part in it. If it happens it will be a real blast from the past and a nostalgia trip for millions of now grown-up kids."

The trio previously agreed to host a one-off reunion episode of SMTV Live in 2018 but the plans were dropped by ITV.
