Looking ahead, Ant and Dec are set to return to screens in 2026 with a new series of the game show Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win and the ever-popular Britain’s Got Talent. They will also revive the wilderness survival show I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, an all-stars edition of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, for the first time since 2023.
Later this year, the duo will travel back to Australia to present the latest season of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. Their impressive track record includes winning 48 National Television Awards and 18 BAFTA Television Awards, highlighting their significant impact on the live entertainment landscape.
