Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have made a major announcement to celebrate their 25 years with ITV.
The legendary co-presenters – who have been at the helm of some of the channel’s biggest shows including I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain’s Got Talent – have signed a lucrative contract for another three years.
During their exclusive relationship with the broadcaster, Ant and Dec have won 43 National Television Awards and 18 BAFTA Television awards.
Their latest programme, Limitless Win, launched in 2022 and became ITV's biggest new entertainment series since The Masked Singer.

ITV released a statement to celebrate its on-going relationship with the presenters, who are well-loved by audiences for their natural on-screen chemistry after decades of friendship.
Kevin Lygo, Managing Director for Media and Entertainment at ITV, said: "The world of television and streaming is always a much brighter place with Ant & Dec at the centre of it, and we look forward to continuing our successful working relationship with them across the next three years."
Both Ant and Dec expressed how their pride at being able to continue to host some of the biggest shows on television.

Ant said: "We're so lucky to host the best entertainment shows in the world. We absolutely love our shows and we are both extremely happy and very excited to extend our relationship with ITV for another three years."
Dec added: "We can’t believe we are reaching 25 years exclusively with ITV. Especially as we are both only turning 30 this year…!"
The duo are set to return in a new I’m a Celebrity spin-off later in the year that sees some of the show’s previous campmates come together in South Africa.
The 2022 season finale reached over 11.5 million viewers at its peak, the biggest ratings for the show since 2018.
I'm a Celebrity will return later this year for an All-Stars series on ITV1 and ITVX.
