I have read a lot about those books and everything I read said they were fake. There have been tv shows about them and their research said they're fake. They tested pieces of texts which proved they were written.
centuries after other Biblical books. Frankly, I had never heard of them until a few years ago.

I have read a lot about those books and everything I read said they were fake.

Could you help me out be being a bit more specific? When you say "those books" and "they", to what are you referring? Some of the writings attributed to St. Ignatius? ALL of them? Which ones do you mean?

Secondly: can you name the books you used to research them? There are good books, and there are bad books... and one can't tell them apart simply on the basis of whether one likes the conclusions. (I know of boat-loads of "Catholic" books, written by "Catholic" theologians, which flout Church teaching with abandon--so no, the fact that someone is "of your denomination and/or beliefs" doesn't safeguard against a book being pure garbage.)

There have been tv shows about them and their research said they're fake.

:) Um... I hope you don't mind if I don't take random TV shows to be authoritative about anything. (I don't even have a TV.)

They tested pieces of texts written.

Could you give me a reference? Who did the tests, and on what documents/manuscripts? Are we even talking about the same thing, here?

which proved they were written centuries after other Biblical books

(??) We're not talking about Biblical books; we're talking about writings attributed to St. Ignatius of Antioch, who studied under St, Polycarp, who in turn studied under St. John the Apostle, himself.
