Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly may have a record breaking number of National Television Awards to their name but it seems they are no match for Justin Bieber when it comes to the music charts.
The TV duo, who started off their careers as teenage rapping due PJ and Duncan, narrowly missed out on being crowned the nation’s favourite guilty pleasure to the Biebster.
According to fresh research by Sony to celebrate the release of their noise cancelling WF-1000XM3 headphones, the Geordie duo’s track Let’s Get Ready To Rumble isn’t as popular with Brits as Justin’s debut single Baby.

Released in 1994, Let’s Get Ready to Rumble was Ant and Dec’s third single from their debut album Psyche.
At the time it peaked at number 9 in the UK charts before hitting the number one spot in 2013 after the lads performed it on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
In comparison Justin’s Baby dropped in 2009 and peaked at number 3 in the Britain.

Also on the list of the Nation’s top guilty pleasures is Peter Andre’s infamous Mysterious Girl.
The track, which was boosted to success thanks to Pete grinding shitless at the bottom of a waterfall in the music video, narrowly missed out on the top spot in 1996 but is still played as a party classic to this day.
Taking about his in the chart, Peter, who has two children with tabloid regular Katie Price, said: “The song has a special place in my heart, and it’s lovely to hear that people are still enjoying it 25 years on – especially as one of their guilty pleasures.

“My guilty pleasures are some of my favourite songs.
“They’re the ones that we really connect with, or maybe grew up with.
“With the Top 20 out in the open, perhaps we can all come clean about the songs we love.”
