Geordie duo Ant and Dec launching new quiz show following NTAs win - but they won't host it

Reports say that iconic I'm A Celeb... duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are said to be launching a new show after their coveted National Television Awards win.

The Geordie duo, who took home their 21st award for Best Presenter earlier this month are just about to head down under to Australia for the new season of ITV's I'm A Celeb, but they are said to be working on another highly-exciting show in the background.

The Daily Star reports that the fan-favourites may not end up hosting their new show however, which could air on ITV as early as next year.

The show is being made by their production company Mitre and is yet unnamed, however it is said to be a quiz show featuring celebrity guests. Regardless of whether they end up hosting the show, sources reckon it will be a success as Ant and Dec 'have the Midas touch when it comes to making telly'.

A source told The Sun: "Their win at the NTAs and the fact they're off to the jungle for the 22nd series shows how popular their programmes still are. So their new project is likely to be much-anticipated by ITV bosses."

The insider continued: "The only disappointment will be that they aren't working on the basis that they'll be the presenters."

It's thought that the duo are too busy working on their other shows to commit to hosting the new idea. As well as I'm A Celeb, which returns in just a few weeks, Ant and Dec also host Britain's Got Talent, their own ever-popular Saturday Night Takeaway, and their game show Limitless Win.

Ant and Dec reportedly landed a whopping £30million deal with ITV that would keep them with the channel for the next three years, similar to the contract they already had. Their work with the broadcaster doesn't end at just hosting some of its biggest shows, though.

Their production company Mitre has launched shows like Stephen Mulhern's In For A Penny, and the ancestry show DNA Journeys.
