On the latest episode of their Hanging Out podcast, Dec, 50, showed Ant a snap of him posing with the Sherlock star at a photoshoot from a number of years ago.
In the snap, Andrew has a striking resemblance to Ant, 50, though also looks like both Geordie presenters morphed into one.
Dad-of-two Dec started the hilarious discussion off by asking his best pal: 'Did we both meet Andrew Scott?'
Ant was immediately puzzled as he revealed he wasn't at the shoot - a rare occurrence for the stars.
He replied: 'I don't know where I was. Maybe you should answer that. I didn't take that picture, but that's just rude.

Meanwhile, Ant has recently quit the hustle and bustle of London for leafy Surrey as he cashes out on a mega mansion.
The Mail on Sunday revealed he has purchased a vast new-build on an exclusive street for a record price of more than £10million.
It is said his purchase is costing the star more than £1million in stamp duty alone.
While it's undisclosed which estate Ant has moved to, most of them are located in the north of the county.
This means he will be close to the motorway network, giving him easy access to both London and Gatwick and Heathrow airports - perfect for his presenting gigs.
