Speaking with fellow kids TV alum Stephen Mulhern on yesterday's episode of This Morning, Deeley reminisced about the 90s and 00s Saturday morning TV format.

"They were great, great times," Mulhern remarked. "I genuinely think they are missed."

"Actually, Ant and Dec have been talking about maybe bringing back a Saturday morning kids show," Deeley teased. "It would be great."

"Oh really?" Mulhern replied. "Do you know something? That would be amazing."

Ant and Dec have spoken out previously about their enthusiasm for Saturday morning TV, revealing they'd love to see the children's show format make a comeback.

"We feel passionately that those kind of Saturday morning TV shows on terrestrial telly are important to kids, as important now as when we were growing up," Ant McPartlin told Metro.

"It’s where you see your music, it’s where you see all your cultural references, it’s where you are informed about what other kids like to watch and see and so you feel like you should become a fan too. It would be great if somebody bucked the trend of cooking shows."
