Ant and Dec are to host a new golf-themed game show, which will be based on US programme Holey Moley.
Ant and Dec are to host a new golf-themed game show.
The Britain's Got Talent presenters' own Mitre Studios company and BGT producers Fremantle are working on a new take of US programme Holey Moley, which sees contestants take on a giant crazy golf course to win cash prizes.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “This would be the ideal show for Ant and Dec.
“It would see contestants on a giant crazy golf course, mixing putting skills with physical challenges.
“It’s fresh, fun, and sees players battle it out for a cash prize. The lads would have a real laugh making it.”
The show will give the presenters - who have worked together since they starred on Byker Grove in 1990 - a chance to spend more time together because the pair previously admitted they launched their new podcast because they were "not hanging out as much" as they used to.
In the first episode of Hanging Out with Ant and Dec, Declan Donnelly said: “We don’t get the chance to hang out as much and talk rubbish anymore, so we decided to come up with the idea of doing a podcast to sit together and talk some rubbish and let you join in too.”
Dec became a father in September 2018 when he and wife Ali Astall welcomed daughter Isla, seven, before also having son Jack, three, four years later.
Meanwhile, Ant McPartlin, 50, and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett became parents to son Wilder, in May 2024.
Dec explained that both he and Ant are putting in “a lot of time and effort” into raising their respective children, and that - paired with his pal's recent house move - has meant the pair are “further away from each other than [they’ve] ever been”.
He said: “We’re now dads to very small children … the little ones especially take up a lot of time and effort and energy.
“I love them dearly, but we don’t hang out as much as we used to. Ant’s moved house now, geographically we’re further away from each other than we’ve ever been.”
Ant and Dec recently reflected on their family lives during an appearance on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast.
Ant said: “I should go to bed earlier, but probably about midnight. It's late with a baby. It's a bit too late to be honest with you but I'll get stuck in a box set – and once I start I can't stop.”
Meanwhile, Dec goes to bed much earlier.
He said: “It's about nine o'clock. We'll sit on the sofa, me and Ali; we put the kids, we'll have something to eat. We'll sit on the sofa, watch telly and then we'll go, ‘We could be in bed watching this.’”
