Ant and Dec have the biggest bromance, having known each other since they were 13.
However, viewers of ITV show Ant and Dec's DNA Journey were left stunned after a discovery of a Viking's skeleton confirmed they are indeed related, Chronicle Live reports.
As the show came to a close on Monday, Ant and Dec's true connection was revealed. While filming in Ireland, Ant was told he carries the unique DNA marker, S660.
It was then revealed that Dec shares the same DNA, and both Ant and Dec can trace their bloodlines back the skeleton of a Viking, who was believed to have died in Dublin in 790AD. The pair are both descendants of the Viking, through their father's bloodlines, which means they are distant cousins.
"That's brilliant," gasped McPartlin as they heard the news.
"Oh my God," added Donnelly, leading McPartlin to jokingly ask whether he was disappointed.
The revelation came after Dec teased there would be a huge twist in the show. During a Q&A with the Mirror, Dec unveiled: "We knew we weren't brothers. But there's some quite interesting twists in part two."
Ant, who still lives near Dec in London, said the family search had brought the friends even closer.
"He means the world to me," he said of Dec, adding: "I love him."
Ant said he was at his "happiest and most content" when he was working alongside his TV partner.
"It would be like losing a limb if I lost him from my life," he said.
Ant, 43, and Dec, 44, met on the set of Byker Grove when they were 13. They have worked together ever since, co-hosting the likes of SMTV: Live, Britain's Got Talent and Saturday Night Takeaway.
They are currently in Australia, preparing to film I'm a Celebrity...Get Me out of Here. Ant has already joked about making the most of his newly discovered family ties to Dec.
Tweeting last night, Ant wrote: "Hello you lovely lot. Thanks again for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed watching it as much as we did making it....now, where’s my cousin...I need sun cream on my back. Declan!!!!!"
