Matt and Darren, "We're NOT trying to be the new Ant and Dec"

Matt Littler and Darren Jeffries are quickly becoming our most favourite TV duo. Not only is their new series Red Bull Rivals brilliant, but the easy banter they have between them on the show really cracks us up. It's not surprising, then, that the lads keep finding themselves compared to that other TV presenting duo we all know and love, Ant and Dec. However, when Matt and Darren visited heatworld last week they were keen to have their say on the matter. "To have the career that Ant and Dec have had would be amazing," Darren told us. "But at the same time, I’d hate to think anyone thought we’re trying to be the new Ant and Dec." Matt agreed, adding, "The similarities are there, but they end after two blokes on a kids' show who have started presenting." Talking about their experience cliff diving in Athens – which you can watch a sneaky clip of by clicking here – Matt admitted, "I have a fear of falling, so choosing to jump off was scary. It took me a long time to get myself doing that. I put myself under loads of pressure. I kept talking myself out of it." Darren took to it rather better, telling us, "My favourite stunt was the cliff diving. That feeling of being in mid-air, with nowhere to go, it’s tremendous." Make sure you don't miss watching the lads in action tomorrow afternoon on T4!

Red Bull Rivals, Saturday on T4, at 1pm
