Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, the nation's favourite presenting pair, have amassed a staggering fortune over their 30-year career in TV.
The Geordie duo, known for their roles on Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain's Got Talent returned to our screens for this year's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! providing us with more comical moments between the pals. They are the undisputed champions of TV presenting and bagged the TV Presenter award at the National Television Awards earlier this year for an unprecedented 22nd time.
The Aussie-based reality show is one of their most famous gigs, but they've hosted countless shows over the years. So, just how much are Ant and Dec worth and what do they earn from their presenting jobs?
Ant and Dec's astounding net worth
The dynamic duo currently have a net worth of around £62 million each, according to The Sun. In 2022, Ant and Dec reportedly inked a three-year deal with ITV worth £40 million for shows including Britain's Got Talent, I'm A Celeb, Saturday Night Takeaway and Ant and Dec's DNA Journey.
It's not known exactly how much they pocket from each series of I'm A Celeb, but it's rumoured to be around £3.3 million a month while the show is on air.
The pair first popped up on our tellies when they met on Byker Grove, earning a modest £100 a day at the start of their careers. They then released the catchy tune Let's Get Ready to Rumble in 1994 before deciding to swap singing for presenting.
Their early days were spent hosting kids' TV shows like SMTV Live and CD:UK. They then moved onto prime time TV, presenting shows like Pop Idol, Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain's Got Talent.
It's said that Ant and Dec have also put their money into property, owning homes worth a combined £10 million. But not all their investments have been successful – in 2019, they reportedly lost nearly £2.5 million after investing in a luxury property complex in Portugal that later collapsed.
The dynamic duo also own a production company called Mitre and a promotions firm named after Ant's dog, Hurley. They each have their own separate production companies too, with Ant's named Teecourt and Dec's called Deecourt.
I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
