Noughties kids TV legends are spotted DJ-ing hardcore D&B set at 1.30am as stars admit they’re ‘not normal’
KIDS TV legends Dick and Dom, now in their 40s, were spotted DJing in a nightclub in the early hours of the morning in a new TikTok.
Richard “Dick” McCourt, 47, and Dominic “Dom” Wood, 46, shot to fame in the early 2000s.
They fronted their smash TV show Dick & Dom In Da Bungalow for four years from 2002 until 2006 and hosted a number of other kids shows afterwards.
They last presented together on 2018’s Diddy TV but then made a comeback on BBC2’s Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
But instead of coming to fans through TV screens, the duo took the show on a tour around the UK.
Now, appear at festivals including Glastonbury to entertain festivalgoers.
The double act has ignited stages with their Drum ‘n’ Bass flair, delighting crowds on the uni scene and touring festivals galore.
A recent TikTok showed the energetic pair head banging along to their upbeat DJ set in a nightclub at 1:30am.
They captioned the video: “Late 40s, 1:30am. Not normal!!!!!”
The age-defying pair took to the DJ decks in their graphics tees as the music blared and multicoloured lights flashed.
Looking back on such times when they were younger on the air, Dick gave an interview with Vice back in 2019 and said: “We had a don’t care attitude…
“Our lifestyle was a bit rock-and-roll at the time. We partied hard and worked hard, young and having fun.”
Dom added: “All our mates worked on the show, we were mates together. You couldn’t wait to get to the studio – it was so exciting when the cab pulled up at 5am.”
However, certain doors remain closed as they’re often pigeonholed for past antics.
Dick said: “Projects have been stopped because they just say, ‘You’re the guys who stood in a small house and yelled bogies.”
Acknowledging the challenge, he went on to say: “It’s hard for a lot of people to move on from it, when we know we can do other things. We wouldn’t get the Newsnight gig, that’s for sure.”
