ITV's most popular presenting duo, Ant & Dec, have extended their exclusive TV and streaming relationship with the broadcaster for a further three years, marking a milestone 30 years since they first joined ITV to host the iconic weekend morning show SM:TV.

The new contract runs through to the end of 2028.

In 2026, the pair will return to screens with new series of Ant & Dec's Limitless Win, Britain's Got Talent, I'm A Celebrity… South Africa, which makes its return three years after its debut, and the flagship I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!.

The announcement comes on the back of record-breaking viewing figures for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, which delivered its biggest streaming launch ever, up 28% year on year and surpassing 100 million streams across its run. The show’s first episode also attracted a consolidated audience of 11.2 million.

Britain's Got Talent was the second biggest ITV entertainment launch of 2025, trailing only I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. Across all their shows, Ant & Dec have amassed an impressive 688 million streams on ITVX to date.

Their three-decade tenure at ITV has also seen them collect 48 National Television Awards and 18 BAFTA Television Awards, cementing their status as one of the most successful presenting duos in UK television history.
