‘Every now and again you have to just step back’

During a 2020 interview with Audible with Ant, the duo were asked whether there was ever a point where they stopped enjoying their job.

In response, Declan said: “I think we all fall into the trap sometimes of taking things for granted. But yeah, every now and again you have to just step back and count your blessings and realise how lucky you are and go, god I have got the most amazing job in the world and today I really appreciate it,” he continued.
