Ant and Dec have broken their silence following their loss at the National Television Awards on Wednesday night. They shared their thoughts on Gary Lineker, who won the Best Presenter award, ending their 23-year winning streak. Gary Lineker, 64, won the award after leaving the BBC show Match of the Day earlier in the year. Despite missing out on the top award, Ant and Dec’s show I’m A Celebrity won Best Reality Competition.
The presenting duo, who host popular shows like I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Saturday Night Takeaway, expressed gratitude to their fans for voting for I’m a Celebrity at the NTAs. Although they didn’t win Best Presenter, they congratulated Gary Lineker on his win and praised his speech. Gary also complimented Ant and Dec, saying it’s an honor to follow in their footsteps.
Gary Lineker mentioned that he is enjoying some time off and has a new show coming up on ITV. He dismissed concerns about being “cancelled,” stating it was a misunderstanding. Gary emphasized the importance of using his platform to speak up for those without a voice.
