When you hear the words “dynamic duo” or “TV royalty” in the UK, two names instantly come to mind: Ant and Dec. The nation’s sweethearts. The faces of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Saturday Night Takeaway, Britain’s Got Talent (to name a few.) And honestly, the faces you know make great TV. Watching their back-and-forth banter for decades, and their updated presence on social media, has always made us wonder why the guys don’t have a podcast? And now, our thoughts must have manifested themselves to life, because it’s happening.
Ant and Dec are officially launching their very first podcast, Hanging Out With Ant & Dec. With episodes airing as early as Thursday, January 22, now is the time to make sure you can differentiate the two by voice. No more relying on who stands on the left (Ant) or right (Dec), or which is the taller of the two. Yep, we know you’re out there. Here’s everything you can expect from the upcoming Podcast.
No Script and No Agenda
The premise is simple. Ant and Dec don’t get to hang out like they used to, so they’ve created a podcast to fix it. No scripts. No running order. No one yelling ‘We’re live in five.’ Just the two of them catching up, reminiscing, and seeing where the conversation goes. Think less polished interview podcast, more “you accidentally overheard Ant & Dec having a natter over a brew.” We see the duo present for over 30 years on our TV’s with extreme professionalism (not without a few viral slip-ups). So, we’re looking forward to this stripped back, unfiltered perspective.
You’re Basically the Third Co-Host
Audience interaction has always been at the heart of everything Ant & Dec do. Whether they’re calling up members of the audience to win big, or pranking them, and this podcast is no different. Each episode is shaped by listeners, whether that’s asking the duo to relive iconic TV moments, sharing personal stories, or requesting advice from the nation’s most trusted best mates. In short, the podcast quite literally doesn’t work without you, so you’ve got to tune in.
Episodes, Dates, and Bonus Content
Episodes of Hanging Out With Ant & Dec will drop bi-weekly from January 22, 2026, with a bonus episode landing every Monday. You’ll be able to listen wherever you get your podcasts, or watch extended video episodes on YouTube.
Belta Box
Launching alongside the podcast is Belta Box, Ant & Dec’s brand-new digital entertainment channel. Consider it your all-access pass to their world. It will be filled with feel-good chaos, classic moments, and brand-new formats curated by the duo themselves. From archive gems (Saturday Night Takeaway and Byker Grove) to fresh digital content, Belta Box will live across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Basically, if Ant & Dec made it or loved it, it’s probably going on there.
A podcast with no script, full audience involvement, bonus episodes, and Ant & Dec being… Ant & Dec? We’re so in. As household names across the UK, they connect old and new audiences and we know that Hanging Out With Ant & Dec will be comfort listening, and lots of laughter at it’s best. Now the only question left is… what would you ask Ant & Dec if you had the mic?
