Ant and Dec's Coronation faces become internet sensation as they 'try not to laugh'

Ant and Dec were spotted pulling some bizarre faces as they attended King Charles' Coronation over the weekend, as fans guess they were trying not to laugh.

The presenting duo, both 47, caught the attention of viewers as they tuned in to watch the historic ceremony.

Yet many were left confused after spotting the Britain's Got Talent hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly moving their mouths in strange ways.

Sharing a clip of the Westminster Abbey moment, one person described it as a "‘someone’s farted’ look".

"Ant & Dec doing what every normal person would do in this scenario…. Try not to laugh!," commented another.

Whilst someone else joked the pair were “two schoolboys who’ve been told by their teacher to keep quiet and can’t contain their laughter”.

A fourth suggested their “animatronics” were “freaking out”.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say the cheeky pair were freaking out as they attended the Coronation after they originally thought their invite was a prank.

After playing tricks on many celebs over the years, Ant and Dec thought it had finally caught up on them when they opened an envelope to discover they were heading for Westminster Abbey to witness King Charles III being crowned.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain on the big day, Ant said: "It is a privilege – an honour and a privilege – to be here today."

Dec said getting an invite was a strange feeling and he added: "It's quite surreal when the invite comes through and it's quite an ornate invite and it comes through the door and you think, 'hang on a minute, is it finally our time to get wound up?'

"Is someone having us on here because this is a really good wind-up' and no, apparently it was true and here we are!"

The pair got suited and booted ready for the celebrations as they showed off their outfits on Instagram, stating: "It’s time to BeRegal".

They weren't the only showbiz names in attendance as 2,300 guests were invited to Westminster Abbey, including world leaders, celebrities, UK politicians, foreign royalty, everyday heroes and the royal family.

Stephen Fry went to the ceremony, as did Katy Perry, Dame Emma Thompson, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith and Nick Cave.

Spice Girl Mel B was also spotted outside the abbey.

David and Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney, Rowan Atkinson, Bear Grylls and magician Dynamo were also rumoured to be on the guest list.
