Though Ant and Dec appear very close on TV, they’ve grown somewhat distant in recent years. They assure fans it’s nothing serious – they’re simply pursuing their own individual lives and interests.
This dynamic duo first appeared on British television in 1989 with the show Byker Grove, and have since become well-known presenters of popular programs like I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Britain’s Got Talent, and Saturday Night Takeaway.
Ant and Dec recently announced their new podcast, Hanging Out With Ant & Dec. The series will feature the pair chatting informally, sharing memories, and letting the conversation flow naturally.

In the press release, Dec explained that he and his co-host started the podcast because they hadn’t been spending much time together outside of work lately, and he shared more details about why.
We’ve recently become fathers to young children,” he shared with The Mirror. “They require a lot of attention and energy, which is wonderful, but it means Ant and I don’t see each other as often as we used to.
Ant has moved, and we now live further apart than ever before. Since we don’t get to see each other and chat as often, we decided to start a podcast as a way to reconnect and spend time together.
The show Hanging Out With Ant & Dec was revealed alongside plans for Belta Box, a new online channel dedicated to showcasing classic moments from the pair’s careers.
After years of working in entertainment, we’re thrilled to introduce Belta Box, which feels like a perfect fit,” said Ant. “Along with our podcast, we want to build a platform full of enjoyable content that connects people.
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Belta Box with our very first podcast! We asked our listeners what they’d like to hear, and they simply wanted a chance to ‘hang out’ with us. That’s exactly what this podcast will be – a relaxed and casual conversation.
Hanging Out With Ant & Dec is streaming now.
