Ant and Dec given another career boost week after announcing return of Byker Grove

They may have left their fans gutted with the news earlier this year that Saturday Night Takeaway will be coming to an end in the New Year but Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly aren't going to be sat at home twiddling their thumbs as their schedule has been confirmed to get busy.

The Geordie duo have been given a fresh career boost which comes a week after they announced they were bringing back Byker Grove, the television show that helped kickstart their three-decade career.

And Ant and Dec have said they are "so happy" and "excited" after their ITV show Limitless Win was renewed for two further series.

The show sees contestants answer questions in a bid to win as much money as they can, with no limit to the amount of money they can have in the pot.

The answer to every question is a number and if answered correctly, they can bank the money, but if they are not careful they risk crashing out of the game and leaving empty handed.

According to ITV, since launching in 2022, Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win has ranked in the top 10 entertainment series across all channels and programmes, with its second series drawing in an average of 4 million viewers.

A third and fourth series of the primetime show, produced by Hello Dolly and Mitre Studios, was announced by ITV on Tuesday (July 11).

Ant said: “We’re so happy that Limitless Win has been such a hit with the viewers, we love making it. It’s such a thrilling and emotional roller coaster of a show we can’t wait to make more.”

Dec added: “We’re bracing ourselves for another two series of high tension and nail-biting drama as more contestants take on the Limitless ladder. We’re excited to see how high they can climb now they’re so much more familiar with the show. Bring it on.”

Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win has been recommissioned by ITV head of entertainment commissioning, Katie Rawcliffe, and commissioning editor Kevin O’Brien.

Katie Rawcliffe, ITV head of entertainment commissioning, also said: “Limitless Win has very quickly accrued a loyal family audience and become one of our most unique and nail-biting game shows. We look forward to more fun on the money ladder in 2024."

Members of the public can apply online now to be part of the next series of Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win by applying on the ITV website where they can found out more information here.
