Ant & Dec confirm future with ITV as channel unveils huge streaming figures for the duo

ITV has confirmed that presenting duo Ant & Dec have extended their exclusive TV and streaming relationship with the channel.

The extension will see the pair reach their 30-year milestone with the streamer and broadcaster, taking them through to the end of 2028, three decades after they first joined ITV.

The news comes as ITV shares a wealth of incredible viewing figures for the shows that the duo fronts, including I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! which celebrated its biggest launch ever for streaming, up 28 per cent year on year and exceeding 100 million streams across the run. The show's first episode also consolidated with an audience of 11.2 million.

And that isn't all, as Britain's Got Talent came second to I'm a Celebrity... as the biggest ITV entertainment launch of 2025. Meanwhile, all of Ant and Dec's shows combined have now been streamed a staggering 688 million times on ITVX.

The pair will continue to host a number of programmes on ITV next year, including Ant & Dec's Limitless Win, Britain's Got Talent, I'm A Celebrity South Africa, which returns to screens three years after its first run, and I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

Kevin Lygo, Managing Director for Media and Entertainment at ITV, said: "Ant & Dec's impact upon the world of live entertainment is unrivalled, with their triumphant partnership reigning supreme for over three decades.

"This new three year working relationship marks an exciting new chapter with ITV, which I have no doubt will be full of yet more unmissable entertainment."

Ant commented: "We are absolutely delighted to be continuing our long standing and creative partnership with our friends at ITV."

The pair's partnership with ITV has seen them win 18 BAFTA Television Awards and 48 National Television Awards.

Meanwhile, Dec added: "We're so lucky to work on some of the biggest and best TV shows and we’re proud of what we have achieved together with ITV over the years. We're excited for the future and looking forward to making more great entertainment together."

Back in October, the pair teased they have "a couple of new projects and exciting projects" that will be announced in the new year as they won the Variety Silver Heart Award 2025 for Outstanding Contribution to Television at the Variety Club Showbusiness Awards.

The duo said at the time: "If you told the two young lads on the set of Byker Grove back in the 1990s, they would be here tonight collecting such a prestigious award in front of so many esteemed guests, [they] would never have believed you. We find it hard to believe now."
