Ant McPartlin has confirmed that a 20th anniversary reunion of SM Live is in the works

As if all this news of a Charmed reboot wasn't enough to give us all the nostalgic '90s feels, it sounds like the wheels are properly in motion for the SM Live comeback.

We all remember plonking ourselves in front of the telly bopping about to B*Witched and screaming at the screen as everyone got those oh-so-obvious Wonky Donkey answers wrong; and now host Ant McPartlin's given us an update as to where they're at with the highly anticipated 20th anniversary show.

Special Recognition - Paul O'Grady, 'For The Love Of Dogs'

Speaking backstage at the 2018 NTAs, where he won the Best Presenter award alongside Declan Donnelly for the SEVENTEENTH year on the trot, Ant told Radio Times: "I think we've just booked a studio, I think we've got some writers involved. So we're kind of at that stage really."

GAH. Exciting.

Ant first teased a special anniversary show with Dec and co-presenter Cat Deeley last February, telling Metro: "It's funny, because we were talking to somebody about this recently as it's 20 years since the launch of SM next year.

"So, we were saying whether we could do an anniversary special or something, and we got carried away with the idea.

"If we did a one-off, it would be on at 9.25am, with C.H.U.M.S and all that, and get Cat back."

Then, at last year's BAFTA ceremony, Ant confirmed: "ITV have just agreed to it. They are on board now. We've had the first discussion now and it's going to be August or September next year.

"We can't say too much but we're getting the team back together! It'll be on Saturday morning again at 9.25."

And THEN the trio reunited in the finale of last year's Saturday Night Takeaway in Disney World Florida and discussed it yet again.

Cat appeared on the stage in a complete shock appearance, and asked Dec whether they would be "rubbish now" - and in true Dec style, he joked: "We were rubbish then!"

Cat, who is now expecting her second child, then relented: "Ok let's do it!"

Right, shall we watch the opening titles and weep as we relive our youth? LET'S.

SO. BLOODY. GOOD.
