ANT and Dec are launching seven brand new shows away from ITV.
The Geordie duo, both 50, have recruited a group of young TV talent for the programmes, which will all sit on YouTube, including Sam Thompson, Sian Welby and Spiderman star Tom Holland’s brother Sam.
It comes after the lads, who hold a £30m golden handcuffs deal with ITV, began a big push online with their own visual podcast, Hanging Out With Ant & Dec.
Now I’m A Celebrity winner Sam Thompson will host a Disney-themed show called Friend Like Me, while Scarlett Moffatt – another jungle champ – will lead The Line King.
Then there’s a string of cookery shows, including Takeout Challenge from chef Sam Holland, Surprise Dinner Party with Jordan North and Ultimate Munch with Stephen Mulhern.
Rising ITV star Sian Welby has been nabbed for interview format Aisle Be Honest.

And The Saturdays and Radio1 DJ Mollie King is going to host “elevator-based entertainment fun” on a show called Lift It Off.
The shows will all launch on Ant and Dec’s Belta Box channels soon, across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
Ed Sleeman from Mitre Studios, who make the shows, said: “The decision by some of the leading names in entertainment to bring their next formats to Belta Box reflects a shared ambition and an exciting creative journey ahead.”
Ant and Dec launched their own podcast in January.
Dec said: “We asked our audience if we did a podcast what would they like it be about, and they said we just want you guys to hang out.
“So that’s what we’re doing! Ant & I don’t get to hang out as much as we used to, so it’s perfect for us.”
