They are used to playing pranks on other people or forcing celebrities to eat insects on "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!", but Ant and Dec got a taste of their own medicine when they accepted a Kids' Choice Award – a world-famous Nickelodeon sliming, the ultimate Nickelodeon honour!
In a secret visit at ITV Studios, Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were awarded Nickelodeon's first ever Kids' Choice Award for 'UK TV Legends' by Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely, the UK hosts of the 2015 KCAs!
While Ant and Dec were accepting their coveted orange blimp award, Jordan and Perri watched with glee as the "Saturday Night Takeaway" hosts sealed their own fate by unwittingly hitting a button which set off Nickelodeon's slime machine!
Nickelodeon created the UK TV Legends award especially for Ant and Dec in recognition of their outstanding contribution to entertainment and to celebrate Ant and Dec’s TV triumphs throughout their esteemed careers, Nickelodeon has honoured the presenters with its highest accolade – a sliming!
Ant said: "Thanks to everyone at the Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards for honouring us with this blimp and the greatest privilege of all, a sliming!"
Dec added: "We are blown away to receive this amazing TV Legends award. But watch out Perri and Jordan, we'll get you back for the sliming!"
Ant & Dec have joined a star-studded list of previous slimees including Justin Bieber, Taylor Lautner, Katy Perry, Halle Berry, Nick Jonas, Harrison Ford, Orlando Bloom, Andy Murray, and recently, Perri Kiely and his Diversity co-dancers.
