I'm A Celeb's Ant and Dec launching new show after NTAs win – but won't host it

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are launching a new show after their historic National Television Awards win, according to reports.

The Geordie lads, who won the award for Best Presenter for the 21st time this month, are heading to Australia for the new series of I’m A Celeb, but are said to be working on another show in the background.

However the fan-favourites reportedly won’t end up hosting their new show, which could be on ITV screens as early as next year.

The show is being made by their production company Mitre and is yet unnamed, however it is said to be a quiz show featuring celebrity guests.

Regardless of whether they end up hosting the show, sources reckon it will be a success as Ant and Dec “have the Midas touch when it comes to making telly”.

A source told The Sun: “Their win at the NTAs and the fact they’re off to the jungle for the 22nd series shows how popular their programmes still are.

“So their new project is likely to be much-anticipated by ITV bosses.”

The insider continued: “The only disappointment will be that they aren’t working on the basis that they’ll be the presenters.”

It’s thought that the duo are too busy working on their other shows to commit to hosting the new idea.

As well as I’m A Celeb, which returns in just a few weeks, Ant and Dec also host Britain’s Got Talent, their own ever-popular Saturday Night Takeaway, and their game show Limitless Win.

Ant and Dec reportedly landed a whopping £30million deal with ITV that would keep them with the channel for the next three years, similar to the contract they already had.

Their work with the broadcaster doesn’t end at just hosting some of its biggest shows, though.

Their production company Mitre has launched shows like Stephen Mulhern’s In For A Penny, and the ancestry show DNA Journeys.
