Presenters
SMTV Live was originally hosted by Byker Grove stars Ant & Dec alongside former fashion model Cat Deeley. In 2001, Ant & Dec left the show to present Saturday night talent show Pop Idol and were replaced by Hollyoaks star James Redmond. Redmond's stint at SMTV Live lasted just three months however, after show bosses decided he had not settled into the role. Deeley left the show in 2002 to focus on presenting BBC talent show Fame Academy, leaving SMTV with none of its original presenters. For the remainder of the programme, it was hosted by a string of other people, including Steps members H Watkins and Claire Richards, Big Brother winner Brian Dowling, Tess Daly, comedian Des Clarke, actress Shavaughn Ruakere and magician Stephen Mulhern.
