Going off at half-cock: Daily Express Ant and Dec headline

And now, it's time for Monkey's headline of the year! This effort, from the Daily Express, comes straight out of Richard Littlejohn's file marked "You couldn't make it up", and a prime example of what might happen if you change a headline between editions. It started innocently enough, as "Can Dec finally match Ant?" and was supposed to be changed to "Can Dec at last match Ant?"
