Declan Donnelly (2018/2019) ; Dec without Ant & with Ant

[@carriefletcher4156]

This made me cry my FUCKING eyes out because I love dec sooooo soooo much when he didnt have dec you could see the dread and sadness in his eyes you could tell by his eyes he was saying in his head that he didnt want to be there and with ant he was soooo happy when he didn't have ant by his side it was like he lost a part of him

[@aadfan9196]

That's just so true ❤ and he admits that in their documentary too❤❤

Hes always had sparkle eyes hes so such handsome man 🥰

[@demidelaney1900]

Poor Dec. I was upset when Dec had to present alone. U could tell he was trying to hide back tear. I noticed when they mentioned Ant he sort of moved around. It's good that Ant is back x

[@aadfan9196]

Yeah...he was really struggling. Now it's too good to see him relaxed and see them happy.

[@singenstattatmen5096]

Dear God, what a difference. The sadness and heartbreak in his eyes in 2018 while smiling for the cameras... All wiped away and replaced with pure, unadulterated joy with the return of Ant.

[@aadfan9196]

So true ❤️

[@zaraevee]

Dec did such a good job in 2018 and he was very professional about it all and you can tell he tried to look happy. You don’t really notice the sadness and dullness in his eyes unless you look closely.... But then you see when Ant came back, the light and sparkle is in his eyes came back too and you realize how much of his spark he was missing last year and how much he had to fake it on TV. So glad they’re together again! 💕

[@HarmonicNature]

I just can't watch this without dissolving into tears. The contrast between Dec last year and this year breaks my heart every time. He was hurting so, so much last year, but was always the consummate professional no matter what. His mental health clearly was in shreds last year, although he did his very best to hide it. I cannot tell you how glad I am that he has Ant back by his side again. As much as he has proved that he is a brilliant solo performer, it is more than clear that he needs Ant by his side to truly be happy and remain sane in the mad world of showbiz. Thank you again for making this. ❤

sorry i know this was made years ago but i just have to say, i couldnt stop noticing how in 2018 dec was always so far to the right, even though ant's not there he's still leaving that space for him and that literally crushes me

I had never seen this before. Dec looks so lost. They shouldn't be apart ever again. They are so fun together.

[@bettycogswell9851]

I love these guys so much. What a difference in Dec between 2018 and 2019...May they never be separated again...

[@thegreathufflepuff7877]

This reminds me of myself and my sister. We participate in a community jazz band. I first joined in 2018 and she joined in 2019. One of the members told me that I looked and acted a lot happier and more relaxed in 2019 than in 2018 and they thought it was because my sister was doing it too. Then at the last two performances, my sister got sick and had to stay home. The same member said that I was exactly the same as I was in 2018 again. I hadn't even noticed but damn. Being without somebody very close to you really changes you. Regardless of the type of relationship it is.

[@aadfan9196]

Bless you❤

[@nanomanianano]

A lot people say that they prefer one over another, but what they didn't get is that there wouldn't exist the Ant or Dec they love if they aren't together. Each alone would result in an Ant or Dec that aren't what we see and like. They are who they are because of each other, people like them because they are together!!

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@loddeutus]

I thought I have commented in here many times already, but anyways: Here you can see the fact that they're professionals, because if you watch ONLY 2018 clips and just the basic clips without focusing too much on it, then Decky's performance is almost normal and smiles look genuine and all.....but if you think about it or see 2019 or anyother after 2018 you see the difference better than between black and white, because Decky is smiling even when he's serious, his laugh is real and it comes easily without having to tell himself that he has to laugh... This honestly made me cry...💖 thank you!

[@TheWalrusWasPaul23]

I know this wasn’t included in the video but I remember watching the SNT shows that Dec had to do on his own and because that is very much THEIR show I found that even harder to watch than BGT. But I think nothing was worse than when they were doing that big finale in Orlando and it was just Dec and there’s one part where he talked about Ant and I just sobbed my eyes out. It was heartbreaking. I’m so happy that Ant is back where he belongs and Dec is back to being his bubbly, smiley self

Literally! But the crazy part is that he's so professional that he can pull it through and only if you look very closely or have any clip with Ant as comparison you can see the HUUUUGE difference in his eyes. Yes he's smiling, but he isn't. They really are professionals, but it comes way easier with each other❤️

I always think they are amazing together, but after watching Dec alone they look even more amazing together. Also the joy of being on stage comes through. Dec alone it was not joy, it was work (well there was a little joy but like he himself said, it was a bit drafty)

I did cry making this video. Actually, I cried when I watched them in 2019 and realized how painful it must have been for Dec and after that when I collected this clips (watching 2018 back with that in mind is painful especially if you are a fan) and then when I watched the final edits. The part where Ant takes that baton always gets me( I know I edited this but still it makes me emotional) Aww, I don't what to say to that. I don't know whether you will say the same if you get to know me in person but thank you so so much. It made me so happy to know that my videos and helping you (I know it's all due to our boys but still😆) I would love to meet them😃 and yes...Ant and Dec for life🥰

I always thought they are both brilliant in their own way. Dec is really charming whilst Ant's coming comic timing is impeccable. But when they are together it is a different deal altogether. Stephen once said that "when they are together they spark off each other" that's just the way it is. Hope you and your friends can stay in touch and be together forever. Remember the boys' motto.
