Ant and Dec made more than £7m last year from presenting hit shows including Britain’s Got Talent and I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here last year.

The duo, whose £10m a year “golden handcuffs” deal with ITV is up for renewal this year, made £7.07m from the three companies through which they funnel their TV business activities.

Declan Donnelly made £3.38m in the year to the end of June, taking his total shareholder funds at his company Deecourt to £12.4m, according to Companies House filings.

He also made just under £3m in investments and benefitted from the disposal of an unnamed asset that made him £1.76m.

His presenting partner Anthony McPartlin made £3.3m according to the financial filing for his company Teecourt, taking his total shareholder funds to £12.3m.

They are also joint directors of Hurley Promotions, which made £376,000 in the year to the end of October.
