Ant and Dec’s live NTAs TV comeback plans in danger as Simon Cowell double books them for Britain’s Got Talent
ANT and Dec's fans might have to wait a little bit longer to see them make their television comeback together, according to a new report.
According to the Daily Star the telly duo were planning on making their first joint live television appearance in almost ten months at the National Television Awards later this month.
However the plan has reportedly been put in jeopardy by their Britain's Got Talent boss Simon Cowell who has double booked them to film auditions for the new series.
A spokesman for the pair told the newspaper: "We will let people know what Ant and Dec's plans are once it's decided."
Ant took a break from television work to focus on his health after being arrested for drink driving.
They last appeared on screen together in March on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
The pair are up for yet another National Television Award, though they face stiff competition from Holly Willoughby.
The Sun's Bizarre TV column revealed today that the Geordie duo are nominated for the TV Presenter gong at this year’s awards — which would be their 18th win in a row.
Holly, who took the presenter’s place in Oz alongside his best mate Dec, will be hoping her work Down Under is enough to disrupt their winning streak.
Also up for the gong, which the boys have won every year since 2001, is Holly’s This Morning co-star Philip Schofield, chat show host Graham Norton and The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh.
But if they lose out on the TV Presenter award, Ant and Dec could win The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award alongside The Graham Norton Show, Love Island and All Round To Mrs Brown’s
And the head-to-head clashes don’t stop there.
For the New Drama gong, a fresh category for this year’s awards, two of the best things on telly in 2018 do battle — BBC’s Killing Eve and Bodyguard.
