Stephen Mulhern has revealed he’s not giving Ant and Dec their latest National Television Awards gong anytime soon.
Ant & Dec picked up yet another award at the NTAs last Thursday (October 13) – winning Best Presenter for a whopping 21st time.
The lovable Geordie duo are the golden boys of the glitzy bash and it seems their unbroken reign still isn’t over as they managed to beat out Alison Hammond, Graham Norton and Bradley Walsh.

Sadly, the I’m A Celeb hosts weren’t able to attend the event at Wembley as they both tested positive for Covid, so their pal Stephen stepped in to collect the award.

But the TV magician got one of the biggest laughs of the night when he tore up their acceptance speech on stage, and it seems he still has a trick or two up his sleeve.
Stephen has now said he’s not planning on giving Ant & Dec their gong for a while as they’ve “got enough” awards already.

Reading out a question from a viewer, host Jermaine Jenas asked Stephen: “Have you given Ant & Dec their NTA yet?”
Stephen slapped his hand on his knee and replied: “Absolutely not. No way, and I’m going to keep it for a bit of time on my show.”
He then jokingly fumed: “They’ve got enough! Let’s be quite frank.”
But he heaped praise on his pals when he spoke about their 21-year-run of NTA wins, dubbing it “phenomenal”.

He said: “They deserve it as well,” before looking directly at the camera and adding: “Unless of course I’m nominated.”
Jermaine said: “I was waiting for the but!”
At the NTAs, Stephen got a bit of paper out of his pocket and told the crowd that Ant and Dec had given him ‘some words’ to read out.
But he then ripped it up, saying: “I’m not doing any of that drivel.”
