Ant & Dec are a British television presenting duo consisting ofAnthony McPartlin andDeclan Donnelly fromNewcastle upon Tyne. After meeting as child actors onCBBC's dramaByker Grove, they performed together as pop musiciansPJ & Duncan, the names of their characters from the series.
The duo have since pursued careers as television presenters, and currently hostI'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!,Britain's Got Talent, andLimitless Win. Previous hosting credits includeSMTV Live,CD:UK,Friends Like These,Pop Idol,Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway,PokerFace,Wanna Bet?,Push the Button,Red or Black?, andText Santa. They presented the annualBrit Awards in2001,2015 and2016.
In addition to presenting, the pair are actors and both had leading roles in the 2006 filmAlien Autopsy. They also have their own production company, Mitre Television.[1] In a 2004 poll for theBBC, Ant & Dec were named the eighteenth most influential people inBritish culture.[2][3]
McPartlin and Donnelly met while working on the second series of children's dramaByker Grove for theBBC in 1990. After a shaky start, they soon became best friends.[4] They have achieved such popularity as a duo that they are hardly seen apart on screen. It is reported that they are each insured against the other's death, with the amount reportedly being a six-figure sum.[5]
They are both avid supporters of their local football club,Newcastle United.[6][7] The pair were in attendance atWembley Stadium to watch Newcastle win the2025 EFL Cup, the club's first major trophy in56 years and their first domestic trophy in70 years. The pair joined the team on the double decker bus for theirvictory parade in Newcastle 2 weeks after the cup win.[8][9]
Although McPartlin had gained some television experience with a brief stint on the children's television seriesWhy Don't You?, which was broadcast on theBBC, Donnelly was the first of the two to acquire his place on the BBC children's dramaByker Grove. He joined in 1989, playing Duncan. A year later, McPartlin joined the cast to play PJ (series 2, episode 5). Their friendship began when their storylines collided, creating a friendship both on and off-screen.[10]Byker Grove producerMatthew Robinson told them to "Stay together through any row you have, whatever it is, be together and you could be the futureMorecambe and Wise. I think they have proved that in many ways."[11]
Donnelly also played a stable boy inthe film adaptation of the novelThe Cinder Path in his teenage years.[12]
Since becoming television presenters, the pair have, albeit infrequently, returned to acting, both on stage and screen. They played themselves in the filmLove Actually[13] (in whichBill Nighy's character addressed Dec as "Ant or Dec"). They have returned to theirGeordie roots in a one-off tribute toThe Likely Lads[14] and also by returning toByker Grove for Geoff's funeral.[15][16] In July 2023, it was announced that the pair would produce a reboot ofByker Grove, to simply be calledByker.[17]
In 1998, the pair starred in thepantomimeSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs atSunderland'sEmpire Theatre alongside Donnelly's partner at the timeClare Buckfield. The show was financially unsuccessful, making £20,000 less than it cost to stage, with the duo footing a large share of the shortfall.[18]
Ant & Dec's most recent acting appearance was in the filmAlien Autopsy released in April 2006.[19] The film gained positive reviews with critics praising the pair's acting performance but lost more than half of its budget at the box office. In 2013, they reprised their roles as P.J. and Duncan onAnt & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
After leaving television, the duo turned their hand to pop music. Their first single was a song they performed as part of the group Grove Matrix,[20] performed as part of the storyline in TV showByker Grove, titled "Tonight I'm Free". The single had some success, and the duo recorded two albums under their character names of PJ & Duncan. Their most famous hit during this period was theBRIT Award nominated "Let's Get Ready To Rhumble", for which the video and moves were choreographed by Mark Short, who had previously worked withTina Turner andPeter Andre. For their third album, the duo reinvented themselves under their real names of Ant & Dec. The album featured their signature single, "Shout".
During their time as primarily music artists, the pair released sixteensingles and three studio albums, with their highest UK chart position being number three. Success also struck in other European countries. The duo had a short-lived revival in the music industry, releasing a song for the2002 FIFA World Cup, titled "We're on the Ball". The track peaked at No. 3,[21] being beaten byWill Young andGareth Gates. On 23 March 2013, Ant and Dec performed "Let's Get Ready To Rhumble" as part of their showAnt and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, which powered the song to number one in the UKiTunes chart and on Sunday 31 March 2013 the track was revealed as the Official UK Number 1 single onThe Official Chart on BBC Radio 1. The two donated all money made from the re-release to charity.[22]
In February 2022 the pair released the charity single "We Werk Together", written byIan Masterson, withRuPaul's Drag Race UK winnersThe Vivienne,Lawrence Chaney andKrystal Versace with the proceeds from the single going to theTrussell Trust. The song was performed on the first episode of the eighteenth series ofAnt & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway as the "End of the Show" Show, introduced byRuPaul.[23]
Ant & Dec got their first presenting job in 1994 using a shortened versions of their real names, Tony & Lan, while still releasing music under the alias of PJ & Duncan. They co-presented a Saturday-morning children's show entitledGimme 5, which was broadcast onCITV. In 1995, the duo were once again offered a job onCBBC, this time presenting their own series, entitledThe Ant & Dec Show. The series was broadcast from 1995 to 1996, and in 1996, Ant & Dec won twoBAFTA Awards, one for 'Best Children's Show' and one for 'Best Sketch Comedy Show'.[24] In 1997, a VHS release, entitledThe Ant & Dec Show – Confidential, was made available in shops, and featured an hour of the best bits from two years of the programme, as well as specially recorded sketches and music videos.[25]
In 1997, the duo switched toChannel 4, presenting an early-evening children's show entitledAnt & Dec Unzipped.[26] This show also won a BAFTA but was dropped after just one series.[27]ITV signed the duo in August 1998,[28] and within weeks they were assigned to presentITV1's Saturday morning programmesSMTV Live andCD:UK, alongsideCat Deeley. The duo presented the shows with Deeley for three years, becoming the most popular ITV Saturday morning show. The programme's success was the mix of games such as Eat My Goal, Wonkey Donkey and Challenge Ant, sketches such as "Dec Says" and the "Secret of My Success", and the chemistry between Ant, Dec, and Deeley. Two SMTV VHS cassettes, compiling highlights from both shows, were released in 2000 and 2001. Ant & Dec also starred in the children's TV seriesEngie Benjy during their time on SMTV.[29][30]
Ant & Dec left children's television in 2001 after trying out formats likeFriends Like These forBBC One in 2000 andSlap Bang with Ant & Dec for ITV in 2001.
Ant & Dec's first primetime presenting job came in the form ofBBC Saturday-night game showFriends Like These, which was first broadcast in 1999. The duo presented two series of the programme between 1999 and 2001.[31] In 2001, the duo's contract withITV was renewed for a further three years, following their appearances onSMTV Live andCD:UK, and they received their first primetime presenting job on the station, presenting new Saturday night reality seriesPop Idol.Pop Idol was broadcast for only two series before being replaced in 2004 byThe X Factor, to which formerSmash Hits editorKate Thornton was assigned presenting duties.
In 2002, Ant & Dec created and presentedAnt & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. The first series was not an overall success, but with the introduction of "Ant & Dec Undercover", "What's Next?", "Ant v Dec" and "Little Ant and Dec", the show became a hit. During the fourth series, Dec broke his arm, thumb and suffered a concussion whilst completing a challenge for the 'Ant vs. Dec' segment of the show. The incident involved learning how to ride a motorbike and jump through a fire ring. Dec failed to pull hard enough on the bike's throttle during the challenge, causing it to topple over and sending him flying through the air. In 2006, the first episode of series five saw the duo abseil down the side of the 22-story highLondon Studios, where the show was filmed. Two DVDs, a best-bits book, and a board game of the series were released during 2004. The show was rested after 2009 as Ant & Dec said they were running out of ideas, and it became stale, as many of the popular features such as "Little Ant & Dec" and "Undercover" were dropped.Saturday Night Takeaway returned in 2013 and was a massive success; Ant & Dec resurrected previous hit features such as "Undercover", "Little Ant and Dec" (albeit with a new Little Ant and Dec) Win the Ads, and Ant v Dec, with new hostAshley Roberts. They also brought in new features such as the Supercomputer, Vegas or Bust, the End of the show 'show' where Ant and Dec perform with an act such as Riverdance or an Orchestra, and "I'm a Celebrity, get out of my ear!" where they have an earpiece in a celebs ear, and they tell them what to do while being filmed by secret cameras. The series was such a success that ITV recommissioned it for 2014 even before the 2013 series ended. A board game of the format was released. The final episodes of the 2020 series were filmed at home due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 series was filmed with a virtual audience and precautions.
In August 2002, Ant & Dec frontedI'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!. They drew their highest viewing figures to date in February 2004: nearly 15 million tuned in to watch the third series. In May 2006, they were assigned to present coverage of the charity football matchSoccer Aid. They were then invited back to present coverage of the second match in September 2008 but have been replaced byDermot O'Leary from 2010 as the match clashed withBritain's Got Talent. In June 2006, they announced they had created a new game-show format for ITV, entitledPokerFace. The show featured members of the public gambling high stakes of money to win the ultimate prize. The first series began airing on 10 July 2006 and was aired for seven consecutive nights. The second series was broadcast in early 2007 and saw a move to a prime-time Saturday slot. Ratings for the series fell to below 3.5 million, and the series was subsequently axed in March 2007.
In 2005, as part of the ITV's 50th birthday celebrations, they were back on television frontingAnt & Dec's Gameshow Marathon, a celebration of some of ITV's most enduring gameshows from the past 50 years. They hostedThe Price Is Right,Family Fortunes,Play Your Cards Right,Bullseye,Take Your Pick!,The Golden Shot andSale of the Century.
In June 2007, they were offered the job of presenters on new ITV reality platformBritain's Got Talent bySimon Cowell. The series features contestants aiming to win £100,000 and spot on the bill at theRoyal Variety Performance while performing and being judged by Cowell, actressAmanda Holden and formerDaily Mirror editorPiers Morgan. The series was highly successful, drawing in nearly 12 million viewers, and led to the pair continuing to operate as hosts for future series, along with continual appearances in a regular feature on theITV2 spin-off showBritain's Got More Talent. But, similarly to Saturday Night Takeaway, the twelfth series saw Dec present the live shows on his own (despite them both presenting the auditions shows).
The pair filmed six episodes for a new American game show,Wanna Bet?, in November 2007. The episodes were broadcast in 2008 but failed to attract enough interest for a second series to be commissioned.[32]What You Wrote, another format created by the duo, was due to air in Autumn 2008 but was reportedly axed byITV.[citation needed] In 2010, the duo debuted a replacement forAnt & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, entitledAnt & Dec's Push the Button. The series was a success, albeit not in the same way asSaturday Night Takeaway, and a second run of the programme was broadcast in 2011, but Ant and Dec later dropped the show in favour of revivingSaturday Night Takeaway.
Ant & Dec have also presented the game showRed or Black?, a creation of Cowell's, airing live on ITV in 2011 with a second series in 2012, but this was not a ratings success and was cancelled after the second series.[33] On 24 December 2011, they presented ITV's charity initiativeText Santa withHolly Willoughby.Text Santa returned in 2012, 2013 and 2014 with Ant & Dec co-hosting alongsideChristine Bleakley,Phillip Schofield,Holly Willoughby,Alesha Dixon andPaddy McGuinness.

In November 2019,Ant and Dec's DNA Journey aired, which followed the pair as they retraced their family roots through DNA samples. In the show, they both found out that they have the same DNA marker, which means Ant and Dec are related as distant cousins.[36] TheDNA Journey format has since been done with other celebrities.
Starting from 2022, ITV airedLimitless Win, a game show with an endless jackpot. The show got renewed for a second series that started in January 2023 and was renewed for a third series later that year set to air early 2024.[37]
