The outing comes after Ant and Dec revealed a tricky celebrity on SM:TV Live that became their worst ever interviewee.
The show was one of their early programmes together which saw them do skits and challenges with Cat Deeley.
SM:TV Live, which helped catapult them to stardom, required them to get celebrities in for chats.
But not all of the big names were happy to be on the show, with Christina Aguilera their standout tough interviewee.
She refused to get involved with their highjinks live on the show like other stars did and requested that their discussion was pre-recorded.
Chatting: Dec was seen on the phone to someone
Matching: They both sported football scarves for the occassion
Speaking to Huff Post, they said: ‘She (Aguilera) sat there in her shades, and wouldn’t take them off. It was a pre-recorded interview, because she didn’t want to do it live.
‘Everything pointed towards it being a bad interview. And it turned out to be a bad interview.’
It comes after Ant and Dec admitted that they once hosted an episode of SMTV: Live after a wild night out.
The presenting duo confessed that when they presented the ITV show on the Millennium, they’d gone on air after celebrating the New Year in Newcastle.
Ant told Glamour Magazine: ‘We never drank on a Friday night! One year we did, that was the millennium.’
‘We were on air that next morning. We were in Newcastle, so we drove down through the night and went live on air, slightly worse for wear. That was the only time.’
Luckily Ant and Dec presented that very show from a bed on the set, with Cat , poking fun at the fact that most of the nation had been celebrating the previous evening.
