And and Dec are reportedly set to sign a £30 million contract with ITV.

The award-winning presenting pair, who recently came to the end of their contract with the broadcaster, have revealed that they will sign a new deal in the coming weeks.

According to The Mirror, the Geordie duo will be paid £30 million for another three years with ITV.

Ant McPartlin told the paper: “Let’s be honest it is close. We have had people come and discuss stuff with us but we love ITV and all the programmes we make there and they want us to stay.

“Before we go to Oz we want to sort it out yeah.”

His presenting partner Declan Donnelly added: “We are not on the dotted line yet but we want to stay and they want us to stay. It is just ironing out all the bits and bobs.”

The pair recently admitted that they were keen to branch out and potentially launch their own live show.

“The whole Netflix/Amazon thing, theatre tour and other stuff are not necessarily for right now. It is still being talked about but is hopefully in the short to medium term,” said Donnelly.

Ant and Dec are thought to have been paid approximately £25 million for their last joint deal with ITV.

The award-winning duo, who picked up their latest presenting prize at the TV Choice Awards earlier this week, currently host Britain’s Got Talent, I’m A Celebrity and Saturday Night Takeaway.

They recently denied reports that they were keen to host The X Factor as well, saying: “We’ve done Britain’s Got Talent and we work well with Simon Cowell and have done for years.

“We did the original Pop Idol, so I don’t think we could go back to do a singing show.”
