Fans of Ant and Dec have been treated to some exciting news, as the beloved duo have confirmed a brand new ITV show.

Speaking at the 2026 ITV Showcase on Thursday 23 April, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed they would be filming their new programme this summer, announcing they were bringing the much-loved series to the UK for the very first time.

Ant, 50, and Dec, 50, disclosed that they would be hosting their own British version of the hugely popular US and Australian series, Holey Moley.

Dec said: "We're going to be shooting a new show for ITV. We are shooting it this summer. It is already a huge hit in the US and Australia and around the world.

"We're bringing it to the UK for the very first time. It's a show called Holey Moley! and it's the world's biggest..., it's a bit of a contradiction in terms, it's the world's biggest mini-golf tournament.", reports the Mirror.

Ant enthusiastically added: "It's brilliant! It's epic! It's huge! It's for the whole family... it's going to be a lot of fun", describing it as the world's biggest mini-golf competition on a 'huge scale' that the entire family could enjoy.

Dec continued: "It's epic, like I said, huge hit already in the States. In Australia, all around the world, coming to the UK!"

Offering a tantalising glimpse of what viewers can expect, Ant teased: "It's funny, that's the main thing, there's lot of laughs in it!"

ABC game show Holey Moley first aired in the US in 2019, with the series described as follows: "Mini-golf enthusiasts go through numerous challenges on a supersized course in order to enter the finals and win the grand prize." The show subsequently made its Australian debut in 2021.

Meanwhile, the forthcoming four-part ITV series is described as: "Holey Moley transforms crazy golf into an adrenaline-fuelled primetime event. This is crazy golf - supersized. Contestants will tackle an epic, zany, visually jaw-dropping course packed with inventive obstacles, physical challenges and laugh-out-loud jeopardy.

"Bringing together the UK's most passionate crazy golfers - from top class professionals to keen amateurs - who are fearless everyday thrill-seekers, the series delivers skill, scale and Ant and Dec's trademark comedy mischief in equal measure. Expect big swings, bigger laughs and unmissable family entertainment.

"Across each episode, eight players will go head-to-head to win the coveted Holey Moley golden putter, green plaid jacket and a fantastic prize. To get there, the contestants must step into the Holey Moley alternative universe and combine precision putting with stamina and nerve as they battle through ambitious, larger-than-life holes.

"From spinning windmills and exploding obstacles to slippery slopes and surprise hazards, competitors must combine skill, agility and determination to stay in the game."

In an exciting twist, Ant and Dec will be accompanied throughout the series by numerous celebrity guests. Casting for Holey Moley is now open and applications remain available until Friday, May 15.

This comes as Ant and Dec are presently presenting I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! spin-off series, I'm a Celebrity... South Africa, which will broadcast its live final on Friday night (24 April).
