Prior to the final episode of Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, Declan Donnelly once opened up about taking a step back from the limelight.
The 48-year-old star, who is part of the presenting duo Ant and Dec with Ant McPartlin, has enjoyed a career spanning three decades. Tonight (April 20), Ant and Dec return to our screens for Britain’s Got Talent.
While their careers still prove to be in demand all these years later, Declan previously spoke about taking time out from his job.
‘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.
