Ant and Dec first broke into ITV when they hosted the weekend morning show SM:TV in their early 20s. They have since become mainstays on the channel, with I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Britain’s Got Talent ranking among its most prominent offerings. Collectively, they have earned 48 National Television Awards and 18 BAFTA Television Awards.
Their journey has seen both highs and lows; Ant has faced challenges, including time in rehab, and Saturday Night Takeaway was placed on indefinite hiatus last year. Nevertheless, their presence on ITV has become synonymous with the channel’s identity.
Kevin Lygo, Managing Director for Media and Entertainment at ITV, remarked, “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.”
Expressing their enthusiasm, Ant said they are “delighted,” while Dec added that he is “proud of what we have achieved together with ITV over the years.”
