Iconic presenting duo Ant and Dec have shockingly quit their headline show, Saturday Night Takeaway.
The television legends - who have fronted the show since 2002 - will be bidding farewell to the much-loved programme reports the Mirror. In recent years, the studio audience as well as fans at home have had the opportunity to get their hands on lavish prizes including trips to Disney.
However, it seems as though now the pair have their minds set on other aspects of their career following their decision to step back.
Taking to Twitter, Ant said: "Hi everyone, we've got some news for you, next year, in 2024, it will be our 20th series of Saturday Night Takeaway. We've got some very special look-backs planned as well as some very exciting new items."
Dec added: "We've also decided that our 20th series will be our last one for a little while. The show takes up such a lot of our year, we just feel that we need a little bit of a breather and the show is going to take a little bit of a rest."
"But before that though," continued Ant before he went on to say: "We've got the 20th series to plan, haven't we?"
Speaking about their decision, Ant, 47, told The Sun: "We love making Saturday Night Takeaway, but reaching the milestone of 20 series seemed like the perfect time to pause for a little while and catch our breath."
Ant and Dec’s decision to pause their long-running ITV show could be linked to the duo’s recent decision to set up their very own production company.
