If you've watched Britain's got talent, Declan plays co-host with his comedy partner Anthony McPartlin, together known as "Ant and Dec".
Dec gets tickled by Ant and another host on BGT. They go right for his sides and stomach.

Apparently, him being really ticklish is rather common knowledge. On "Saturday Night Takeaway" he gets mummified and tickled by the host, who even taunts him about being ticklish.

BGT panel judge David Williams gets flirty with Dec, trying to "help him relax" and massaging his shoulders while Dec is trying to host. At one point David reaches down to Dec's sides, getting a very insistent "No - don't it there!"
