Ant and Dec have pulled out of all work engagements after both presenters fell sick with a 'sudden' illness, which has now been confirmed as Covid, meaning they won't attend Thursday's National Television Awards.
The duo, who are gearing up to host another series of I'm A Celebrity, having just filmed an All Star run in South Africa, have postponed all work commitments until they recover, a spokesperson has ITV confirmed. They had been due to front a special episode of Britain's Got Talent called The Ultimate Magician, but their BGT and Saturday Night Takeaway co-star Stephen Mulhern was forced to step in for them.
On their absence from The Ultimate Magician, a source on the programme said: "Ant and Dec are both unwell and have postponed all work commitments until they recover.
