Ant and Dec have confirmed that they've both tested positive for Covid, posting photos of their test results to social media. The pair will not only miss a special magicians-themed edition of Britain's Got Talent, but also the National Television Awards 2022.
Taking to Twitter, the duo confirmed the news and wrote: "Sadly, it’s true… We even get ill together! After feeling unwell a few days ago we both tested and we’re positive for Covid." Earlier in the day on Wednesday, October 12, an ITV spokesperson said that Ant & Dec had postponed all work plans while they recover.
The post continued: "We’re resting up at home and are so sorry we can’t be at #NTAs2022. Best of luck everyone and get well soon to anyone else in the same boat x." Ant & Dec's positive tests could mean that they miss out on the chance to collect a 21st consecutive Best Presenter NTA. In the category, they are up against Graham Norton, Alison Hammond and Bradley Walsh.
