Ant & Dec sign new two-year deal with ITV

Ant And Dec have signed a new golden handcuffs deal with ITV until December 2013, worth a reported £10 million each.

The Geordie duo have enjoyed a longtime partnership with the channel since 1998, when they began presenting hit kids show SMtv Live and CD:UK with Cat Deeley.

They have had huge success fronting Britain's Got Talent and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - and the duo has confirmed they will be on ITV screens for at least the next two years.

Ant McPartlin says, "We are really pleased to sign with ITV for another two years and continue to make the programmes we love with the channel."
