TV favourites Ant and Dec are aiming to branch out into streaming services such as Netflix, according to reports.
It’s claimed the ITV stars have made the decision after 20 years of making television for terrestrial channels.
According to The Sun, both Ant McPartlin and Declan Donelly have hired a new business manager at their company, Mitre Television Limited, who are tasked with working on “new streaming opportunities” in a bid to grow their business further.
Talking about the Britain’s Got Talent and I’m A Celeb presenters, an insider told the publication: “Ant and Dec have dominated our screens for years but now they’d like to have a shot working with the streaming giants – including Netflix.

“They’re tied up in a mega-money deal with ITV so won’t be appearing on screen but want their production company to push into the market.
“There are endless opportunities for their old formats which could end up being put onto streaming platforms.

The source added: “They own the back catalogue to Byker Grove and SMTV so there’s scope to get those back out there for fans on a platform like Netflix.
“Plus there are new and exciting ideas that their teams have come up with that could work really well for the streaming giants.

“Netflix is the obvious target but there is scope for ideas that could work on Apple and Amazon too.”
It’s claimed that the move could be a “huge money spinner” for the pair, as their TV business is ‘lucrative’ for the pair.
Daily Star Online has contacted representatives of Ant and Dec for comment.
Ant and Dec, both 44, will be back on screen later this autumn as they return to front the Britain’s Got Talent live finals and I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here.
