Ant & Dec hot air balloon drama 'untrue'

Representatives for Ant And Dec have dismissed reports suggesting the presenters were involved in a hot air balloon accident.

The funny pair were said to be filming the title sequence for the upcoming series of Britain's Got Talent when the alleged incident occurred over Maidstone, Kent.

Plasterer Jim O'Cock claimed he and several others ran to the aid of the stars and added: "I told Ant he looked a bit shaken after the balloon landed, but his reply isn't printable. They said Kent looked lovely from above and asked about the oast houses we're working on because they'd never seen one before."

However, Ant and Dec's reps insist the story is false.

In a post on their Twitter account, an employee from Hackford Jones PR writes, "Stories currently running on line saying Ant & Dec had a hot air balloon crash whilst filming 'BGT' are completely untrue."
