Ant and Dec have announced a huge new project together which is launching later this month, and fans are thrilled at the news.<\/p>\n
Fans can\u2019t get enough of the iconic Geordie duo. But back in 2024, Saturday Night Takeaway\u00a0was rested for a while.\u00a0And many were left disappointed that it meant less Ant and Dec. But they have appeared to take the comments on board, and while we\u2019re not getting our favourite Saturday night show back, we are getting more Ant and Dec \u2013 yay!<\/p>\n
They have updated their old Saturday Night Takeaway\u00a0Instagram\u00a0to now be known as \u2018Belta Box\u2019. And this seems to be their new hub of entertainment, a part of which will include a brand-new podcast, hosted by the duo. The news comes after it was announced they had signed\u00a0another huge deal\u00a0with ITV.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This morning (January 16) Ant and Dec changed the name of their old Instagram, and posted a video, explaining why, and what fans can expect from them.<\/p>\n
In the video, Ant explained: \u201cHello, everyone. Got a bit of an announcement for you. We know you like Saturday Night Takeaway. But Takeaway is not currently on air.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dec then jumped in, adding: \u201cBut because we are so, very, very kind on top of all the Saturday Night Takeaway content on this channel, we want to give you more.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pair enthused: \u201cWe are changing this page to Belta Box. It will be packed with feel-good entertainment curated by experts, us. We will be bringing you more from our archive, including the best of SM:TV Live with Byker Grove coming later this year, and tons more.\u201d<\/p>\n
But on top of that, fans will also be treated to \u201cnew entertainment\u201d too. When the pair were teasing this, clips of stars \u2013 including Sam Thompson, Scarlett Moffatt and Simon Cowell \u2013 played on the screen.<\/p>\n
However, the main thing fans got excited about was Ant and Dec\u2019s final announcement. And they don\u2019t even have long to wait.<\/p>\n
They explained: \u201cWe are excited to announce that on January 22 we are launching our first show for Belta Box, which will be our brand-new podcast, Hanging Out with Ant and Dec. We can\u2019t wait for you to join us for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, whether you are here for a trip down memory lane, or fresh and original content, we are excited to welcome you to Belta Box, your new home for feel-good entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Immediately, fans flocked to the comments to share just how happy they are about the news.<\/p>\n
Many thought the pair should have created a podcast years ago, and already can\u2019t wait to tune in.<\/p>\n
One wrote: \u201cOMG. The podcast is actually happening!\u201d<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cHave been wanting you to do a podcast for ages. I can\u2019t wait to hear it!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExciting. I can\u2019t wait for the podcast. It\u2019ll be amazing,\u201d a third commented.<\/p>\n
An excited fan added: \u201cLiterally the best news ever. Thank you!!\u201d<\/p>\n
However, while everyone did seem excited, some fans still just wanted Saturday Night Takeaway back on their screens.<\/p>\n
One commented: \u201cWhen will SNT be back? I miss it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Another shared: \u201cMy children and I were just saying we miss SNT so much. They asked me if it would be back one day, and I said hopefully, even a one-off special. So, this looks great guys. Looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
