I'm A Celeb's Ant and Dec 'creating new celeb quiz show' for ITV after NTAs glory

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly may be just days away from the launch of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! but they have another project on their mind.

The telly duo, who recently won the National Television Award for Best Presenter for the 21st time, are reportedly in talks to launch their own quiz show.

Although I'm A Celeb is launching on November 6, the pair are believed to be putting their minds to their new tv show, which as of yet, has no name.

Sources claim that the quiz show, which is believed to be airing on ITV, could be broadcast as early as next year.

Speaking to The Sun, an insider said: "Whether they're in front of the camera or behind it, Ant & Dec are still viewed as a duo who have the Midas touch when it comes to making telly.

"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."

However, the source went on to suggest that Ant and Dec may not be the faces of the programme and will more than likely be involved behind the scenes.

While they may be heading to the jungle ahead of the latest season of I'm A Celeb, they also front the likes of Britain's Got Talent and Saturday Night Takeaway – all on ITV.

This year, it's believed that I'm A Celeb will take place much earlier so it doesn't clash with the upcoming World Cup, which kicks off on November 20.

The show will broadcast from Australia for the first time in three years since the country closed its borders due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bosses swiftly moved the show from Down Under to Gwyrch Castle in Abergele, North Wales which saw a whole host of celebrities swap their luxury lifestyles for the blistering British weather.

It's believed that celebrities from all walks of life have taken time out of their schedules to appear on the programme, with Olivia Attwood being the first Love Island star to participate.

Elsewhere, music legend Boy George is rumoured to be the highest-paid celebrity in the history of the ITV show – beating the likes of Caitlyn Jenner and supermodel, Janice Dickinson.

Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver who plays Eileen Grimshaw on the soap is also in talks to take part, while Mike Tindall MBE will be the first member of The Royal Family to sign up.
