Limitless Win's Ant and Dec put 'under pressure' as ITV show returns for Christmas

Ant and Dec come 'under pressure' from celebrity player Jimmy Carr as they return to screens for Christmas in Limitless Win.

There was disappointment for many ITV viewers at the weekend when the Geordie hosts were missing in action as Britain's Got Talent aired its festive special, The Ultimate Magician. The show was recorded in October, with it being revealed at the time that Ant and Dec were forced out of hosting it, due to both testing positive for Covid.

Stephen Mulhern stepped in to present The Ultimate Magician, with Ant and Dec giving a very public display of support for him and the programme itself, when they shared their excitement for it on Twitter. And the I'm A Celebrity duo also had some big news of their own about that- Limitless Win, the gameshow they launched to great attention at the start of 2022, will be on TV this week.

While some viewers accused the rules of Limitless Win of being 'too confusing,' millions of people tuned in every Saturday night to watch it and sees how contestants fared, given there were huge cash prizes up for grabs. Limitless Win has been given a prime slot in ITV's Christmas Day schedule, although this time it will be celebrities up against it.

One of those stars is 8 Out of 10 Cats host Jimmy, paired with fellow comic Katherine Ryan, who is given a question about how many claws the dragon on the Welsh flag has and he then piles the pressure on Ant and Dec with the 'Take Two' option, meaning that the computer accepts one answer from him and one from the presenters, with the worst being rejected.

With charity money at stake, Ant and Dec frantically try and work out just how many claws the dragon on the famous flag has on each foot, with Ant referencing I'm A Celebrity's two year run in Abergele, by remarking: "We spent so much time in Wales as well," as a pabnicked Jimmy shouts out: "Come on! Lock it in."

*To see if Ant and Dec helped to secure the right answer for Jimmy, tune into Limitless Win on ITV1 at 8pm on Sunday, December 25.
