A TV double act looked unrecognisable in orange and green paint in photos shared to their X, formerly known as Twitter, account on Tuesday.

They shared a video of make-up artists slathering them with the paints – one being treated to orange and the other, green.

The cheeky television presenters tweeted along with the video: ‘Someone told us orange and green are our colours, so we went all out.’

A fan in their replies tried to guess what they were dressing as, with one saying ‘lime and orange Tic Tacs’.

So, can you guess who they are?

Ant and Dec’s make-up artists had to work at lightning speed as their transformation was pulled off just in the advert break.

Fans under the first reveal of Ant and Dec’s bizarre look, wrote: ‘Dec looked like shrek’; ‘Ant looked like the man from the tango adverts in the 90s and Dec looked like shrek lol xx’

‘So cleverly done I expect you were very hot under all that makeup!!’; I just saw a walking talking Baked Bean and Stanley from The Mask film’

‘Just Brilliant!’; Tango Orange and Tango Apple’; ‘Ant – Oompa Loompa Dec – shrek’; ‘The fact you managed to do that in the ad brake (sic) is crazy’

‘The ‘actual’ speed that staff worked at in the ad break’; ‘Dec doesn’t even look like Dec!! Can’t mistake Ant though!’

There are just two episodes of Saturday Night Takeaway left before the live variety programme goes on hiatus.

In February, Ant and Dec revealed series 20 of Takeaway would be its last for a while so they can focus more on family time, ahead of Ant welcoming his first child,

Ant is set to become a father in June as his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, is pregnant. Anne-Marie has two children from her previous marriage.

 

Speaking to Fault Magazine, Ant said: ‘On a more personal level, part of the reason we’re pausing Takeaway is we need a break ourselves, and we need to spend some time with our family.

‘We’ve both got children that we need to spend time with for a little bit. We need time to think and, and time to step back and look at the bigger picture and just see where we are now.’

The pair will continue their exclusive working relationship with ITV, hosting hit shows including I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Britain’s Got Talent and Limitless Win, all of which air across ITV1 and ITVX.
