Ant and Dec ‘on top of world’ after quitting Saturday Night Takeaway

Ant and Dec, 47, have shared an update following their statement that they will stop presenting Saturday Night Takeaway after next year.

The presenters posted a photo of them with big smiles on the top of a mountain on Twitter and Instagram.

The two most recently appeared as the hosts of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa and therefore shared the news for fans of the show.

“We thought we’d already peaked here… but there’s more!

“Catch the hour-long special of unseen moments from #ImACeleb South Africa on @itv tonight from 9pm,” he added.

Fans were quick to react to the news with user Nick quoting: “On top of the world boys!!! The Pinnacle of presenters!”

Others added their excitement: “Can’t wait let’s go” and “TV is nothing without Ant and Dec so much fun”.

Myleene Klass, 45, was recently announced as the winner of the spin-off programme, where she walked away with £100,000.

The mother-of-three shared on Instagram that she would be donating her winnings to Save the Children UK of which she is an ambassador.

“I’ve seen for myself, this money will go far. The mouse tails and rotten tofu were worth it.”

Ant and Dec also revealed some sad news for fans regarding Saturday Night Takeaway.

The show, which began in 2002, follows the pair as they interact with celebrity guests and play games with the audience.

The two revealed that the show took up much of their time during the year and would therefore be stepping back.

Next year’s 20th anniversary show will be the final show for the pair as they revealed it took up a lot of their time.

The show’s most recent series attracted 6.4 million viewers, becoming ITV’s largest viewership of the year.

The show has won multiple BAFTA and National Television Awards (NTA) including for Ant and Dec’s presenting.

In the video, Ant revealed: “We love making Saturday Night Takeaway, but reaching the milestone of 20 series seemed like the perfect time to pause for a little while and catch our breath.

“We still have a momentous 20th series to look forward to first so we will do our best to go out with a bang in 2024,” Dec confirmed.

The team did have a break between 2009 and 2013 when the show went on hiatus.

ITV Managing Director of Media and Entertainment, Kevin Lygo said: “When you think of Saturday night television you think of Saturday Night Takeaway.”

He spoke on how the show had become “a cultural phenomenon” and that he was looking forward to the duo’s return.

The pair will still continue with their other projects including Britain’s Got Talent, Limitless Win and I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
