Ant and Dec Rhumble to number one spot

Geordie TV stars Ant and Dec celebrated after their 1994 hit “Let’s Get Ready to Rhumble hit the top of the charts.

Fans downloaded the song, which reached number nine on its original release, after the duo performed it on their ITV1 show Saturday Night Takeaway last week.

The pair were then known as PJ and Duncan, the characters they played in the children’s TV drama Byker Grove.

Profits from the record will go to ChildLine.

“I’ve been trying to push it under the carpet! People are still buying the track, so we’ve just decided that any money we make out of it will be put towards ChildLine, as we’re patrons of that,” Ant McPartlin told Chris Evans Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2.

He added that the success of the re-release had “been bewildering”.
