Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were pictured getting back to work together for the first time in almost a year on Friday as they jumped out of their cars outside the iconic London Palladium.
The presenters, both 43, who have been best friends since they were 13 and have been presenting together for 22 years, appeared in high spirits as they smiled and waved at fans outside in the cold.
The talented duo shared a joint snap from their car while on their way to film the new series of Britain's Got Talent in London. The new series of BGT is thought to air sometime in April this year.

Head judge Simon Cowell suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction as the fly of his flare jeans were left undone, with the music mogul turning away from cameras to zip his trousers back up.
Speaking on Ant's return, the X Factor star exclusively told MailOnline he’d ‘missed’ the presenter on arrival at the auditions launch.
The TV personality, who was sporting his trademark white T-shirt and blue jeans, said: ‘Of course I’ve missed them. It’s going to be fun... I’m going to rib him. He’s got no idea what’s coming.'
Britain's Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern, 41, was also pictured arriving shortly before the boys as filming for the new series got underway.

Earlier in the day, Ant was pictured in West London as he headed to filming following almost a year off from his TV commitments.
The TV host sipped on a hot beverage as he hopped into his flashy Range Rover ahead of filming with Dec, who looked delighted at a local Sainsbury's as he prepared to reunite with his pal.
In August last year, Ant revealed he was taking a break from presenting with co-host Dec to focus on recovering from his painkiller addiction, months after his drink-driving charge in April.
The Geordie native wrapped up against the cold weather in an all-black ensemble, which featured a baseball cap, longline coat and sturdy knee-high boots.

Ant's return comes as Dec revealed last month that Britain's Got Talent would be 'back to normal' after he was forced to host the live finals solo in 2018.
He told the Mirror: 'It's back to normal for BGT - fingers crossed it will be great.'

In August, it was revealed that ITV hit show Saturday Night Takeaway, presented by the pair since 2002, has been cancelled until 2020.
In November, Holly Willoughby filled in for the star on I'm A Celebrity as she starred alongside Dec in the jungle.
Troubled presenter Ant first sought rehab treatment in June 2017 after becoming addicted to prescription drugs and alcohol following a botched knee surgery in 2015.

Ant and Dec have been friends since they met on ITV show, Byker Grove, playing PJ and Duncan in 1989, before forging a successful TV and music career.
They live down the road from one another in West London and regularly holiday together, showing just how close they are.
On his break last year, Ant said in a statement to MailOnline: 'My recovery is going very well and for that to continue having spoken to Dec and ITV, I have made the decision to take the rest of the year off.'
He continued: 'I’d like to thank both Dec and ITV for their continued support and I look forward to getting back to work in the new year.'

'I’m looking forward to us both being reunited on screen in 2019.'
This Morning host Holly, 37, confirmed last month that the troubled presenter will most definitely be back on the Australian-based reality series in 2019, despite rumours suggesting she was set to return again in his place.
At the Dancing On Ice launch, Holly said: 'It was a one-off, once in a lifetime adventure.
'Next year, I’ll be at home with everyone else having a glass of wine watching it.'
