Absolutely! In interviews, they’ve joked about crashing on each other’s sofas after late-night BAFTA parties. But here’s the surprising fact: Ant once revealed that Dec’s spare room has a “very uncomfortable mattress”—which is basically a declaration of war in friendship terms. “I slept like a twisty pretzel,” Ant moaned on The Jonathan Ross Show. Cheers, Dec, for the budget hospitality. They’re basically your mates who argue about who has the better takeaway.
Also, fun fact: both houses have special security gates because fans (and journalists like me) keep trying to camp outside. Imagine peeing in a bush in Northumberland just to see Dec gardening. Not worth it. Especially if he’s watering the petunias in his dressing gown.
What About Their Neighbors—Any Famous Faces?
In Stanmore, Ant’s neighbors include Gary Barlow (of Take That fame) and David Walliams (the Little Britain weirdo). Imagine the neighborhood watch meetings—Gary brings the cake, David brings the scandal, and Ant brings the TV remote. Thrilling stuff. Dec’s manor in Northumberland is more low-key, with cows, sheep, and the occasional over-enthusiastic paparazzo dressed as a bush.
