Ant & Dec 'staying very English' in US

Ant and Dec have been sticking with their British friends as they attempt to crack America.

The TV hosts have jetted off to Los Angeles to present their new US TV show Wanna Bet?, but they have yet to make friends with any Hollywood superstars.

"We've kind of stayed very English," Ant told the Sunday Mirror. "We've been out with Ricky Gervais, Coldplay and Matt and David from Little Britain. And we're going to meet up with Cat Deeley later.

"You kind of end up staying at the same places or going out and eating at the same places, or you just text people saying, 'You're in LA? Well I'm in LA. Let's get drunk'."

Dec also revealed that he has been shocked by some of the stunts he has witnessed during filming for the new show.

He said: "The tagline is 'The show where ordinary people come to claim they can do extraordinary things'. We've had a guy who can kick himself in the head 45 times in a minute and a 12-year-old boy who can identify vacuum cleaners by the sound alone.

"One guy said he could identify the band and the album title simply by licking a CD… and he got it right!"
