The clip begins with Dec settling down to enjoy his cup of tea while an ITV News report states a group of celebrities have been involved in a bank heist.

He’s shocked to learn the celebrities in question are Ant and Dec themselves, along with an ‘unknown accomplice,’ shown as their co-host Stephen Mulhern.

Dec rushes out to see Ant, who seems more concerned about a contestant’s decision to take £64,000 on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? when he still had two lifelines left.

Dragging his pal inside Dec says: ‘Not that- the news! Look!’ before showing him the report which warns the public to stay away from the ‘dangerous duo.’

Dec says: ‘It just doesn’t make any sense, we’d never do anything like that and yet here we are. There’s just no rational explanation.’

Ant then makes the bombshell confession: ‘There might be, it’s just possible, possible I may have had us cloned!’ ending the clip on a dramatic cliffhanger.
