Ant and Dec's latest hit TV show Limitless Win has been confirmed for a second series, much to fans' delight. The duo took to their socials to announce the news saying: 'It’s official! #LimitlessWin will be back for a second series 🎉 Thank you so much for watching… we’ll see you for the last show of THIS series on Saturday 8.30pm @itv'.

The show, which is set to end the first season on Saturday (5th February), sees contestants answering questions, with each question presenting an opportunity to climb the ladder and reach the big money.

Contestants must answer the question correctly to add the money to the prize bank. The twist is if the players push their luck too far, they could crash out of the game and lose all the money!

It was only yesterday that we reported how fans had reacted to the news that Saturday's episode would be the last, so it's no surprise that fans are super excited to see it return. One fan wrote: 'Brilliant news!! 🔥🔥🔥', with another saying: 'I'm glad there's a second series. I love this show'.

Limitless Win is a new series from the unstoppable duo, who have also presented shows such as Britain's Got Talent, I'm A Celebrity, and Saturday Night Takeaway.

The first show, which aired last month, drew in a massive 6.1 million viewers, making it ITV’s biggest brand-new entertainment series launch since The Masked Singer!

Speaking about the new series Ant said: "We are thrilled that Limitless Win has been a hit with the viewers and is coming back for more. We’re beyond excited to be able do it all over again and we can’t wait to find new contestants to play the first TV show with a limitless jackpot!"

Dec continued: "We’re already preparing ourselves for another series of nail-biting drama, jeopardy and tension as we present more questions you can’t help but Google! We’re expecting more, and higher, dizzying climbs up the Limitless money ladder. We can’t wait."

Anyone wanting to apply for the new series of Limitless Win can do so on the ITV’s Be On TV page. Applications are open until 31st August 2022.

Now take a look through Ant and Dec through the years:

Ant & Dec in Byker Grove: 1989

In 1989, Dec landed a part on BBC children's drama Byker Grove, playing Duncan. A year later Ant was cast as PJ – and thus, PJ and Duncan was born.

Ant & Dec's friendship blossomed: 1990

Ant previously revealed his friendship with Dec started in 1990, when he sent him a Christmas card and invited him to a football match.


He said, "And that was that. It just happened immediately. We clicked. We'd spend all day making each other laugh and annoying everyone and quoting Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer lines to each other."


When their parts were written out of Byker Grove, the boys vowed to stick together. Dec told Weekend magazine, "We made a pact. We said to each other, 'Look, whatever happens, I'll always be there for you and you're never in this life on your own or against the world – you've always got a mate looking out for you."


Dec said, "It's our choice to socialise outside work. And we both get to go to work with our best mate every day. And that keeps our feet on the ground" as Ant added, "We love each other, definitely."
