Ant and Dec are gearing up for their first podcast series together, 'Hanging Out With Ant and Dec', which is set to debut next week. The unlikely duo will take listeners on a journey of catching up and reminiscing about their illustrious careers in television, allowing fans to relive memorable moments and share anecdotes.
The pair, who have hosted numerous high-profile shows including I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, will release episodes every fortnight starting January 22nd. However, they're not stopping there - a bonus episode will be dropped every Monday, ensuring fans stay glued to their digital channels.
In an interesting twist, Ant and Dec are launching a new digital platform called Belta Box, which promises "fun, feelgood content that brings people together". The platform is set to feature curated clips from their shows, including the beloved children's drama Byker Grove, where the duo first made a name for themselves as childhood TV stars.
Dec explained the podcast concept: "We asked our audience what they'd like us to do if we did a podcast and they said 'just hang out'. So that's what we're doing - it's perfect for us, since we don't get to hang out as much as we used to." Meanwhile, Ant added: "We've spent our careers celebrating great entertainment, so launching Belta Box feels like the natural next step. It's time to create a space packed with fun and feelgood content that brings people together."
The pair have also hinted at revisiting their musical roots - in 2013, they reached No 1 on the UK singles chart with a re-release of their song Let's Get Ready to Rhumble, which originally dropped in 1994.

I'm super excited for their new podcast series 'Hanging Out With Ant and Dec', it's gonna be so relatable! 
They're gonna take us on a journey of catching up and reminiscing about their TV shows, including Byker Grove - those were the days! 
I'm also loving the idea of Belta Box, a digital platform that brings people together with fun and feelgood content 
. And, let's be real, who doesn't want to hear from Ant and Dec every Monday? 
The bonus episodes are gonna keep us hooked all week long! 
They should do a episode about I'm a Celebrity... what crazy things happened during that? 
And can we talk about that Belta Box platform? 
with those curated clips from their childhood TV shows. Dec said they just wanna "hang out" on this podcast and I'm here for it 
Ant's right though, they've spent their careers spreading love and laughter through entertainment so it's only fitting to create a space that brings people together 
That's like, the ultimate way to keep us hooked. I'm also low-key excited for them to revamp their musical roots 
, who wouldn't want to hear those catchy tunes again?! Plus, Belta Box sounds like a great way to get our feel-good fix 
. The bonus episodes dropping every Monday are a nice touch - I'll be glued to my screens (or whatever they have on that new Belta Box platform 
). And, omigod, a re-release of their old song "Let's Get Ready to Rhumble"? That's like a throwback dream come true! Can't wait to listen in and see what kind of fun content they've got lined up 
They're already promising fun and feelgood content on their new Belta Box platform - sounds like the perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon 
But what really caught my attention is their new digital platform Belta Box - I love that it's all about spreading positivity and good vibes! It sounds like they're trying to create this community-driven space where people can just have fun and enjoy some feel-good content together. And who knows, maybe we'll even hear some of those old tunes again
