We love Ant and Dec, they can literally do now wrong on telly – unless you count that woeful game show Red and Black but we blame Simon Cowell for that – however we somehow always forget that the TV duo were singers long before they became the nation’s favourite TV presenters.

The Britain’s Got Talent hosts of course shot to fame on BBC kids show Byker Grove and joined forces soon after to release their first single together as ‘PJ and Duncan.’

The boys recorded three albums together and while we remember their success in the UK, we didn’t realise that like The Hoff, the pair were actually really popular in Germany and Japan also.

Check out the hilarious video of Ant and Dec aka PJ and Duncan performing a cover of Japanese duo KinKi Kids’ tune Garasu No Shounen in 1997 below.

Only one line of the song is in English and we were quite impressed with the boys’ linguistic skills, until Dec admitted on Twitter that they were reading the entire song off a board beside the camera!

Maybe they should enter Britain’s Got Talent this year instead of hosting it?
