Last updated 3rd Feb 2022
Iconic duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have hosted their fair share of TV programmes, including Britain's Got Talent, I'm A Celeb, and Saturday Night Takeaway, and the pair even won the Best Presenter award at the National Television Awards for the 20th time back in 2021.
Ant & Dec returned with a brand new game show for 2022, with the one of a kind TV show starting on Saturday 8th January.
So far, viewers have loved watching the show every week, but have now been left disappointed by the latest update from Ant and Dec.
Replying to a viewer who tweeted to praise the latest episode of Limitless Win, Dec said: 'Thank you. Can’t believe it’s the last one next week! D.'
Fans were quick to show their surprise at the series coming to an end so soon, with messages flooding in to Ant and Dec asking about a second series. Although nothing has been confirmed about the show continuing, we've got our fingers crossed for more episodes!
The last episode of the current series will air on Saturday 5th February. Ahead of the episode here's everything you need to know about the show...
What is Ant & Dec's Limitless Win?
It features the world's first ever limitless jackpot, as well as a money ladder that never ends!
The game works by answering questions, with each question presenting an opportunity to climb the ladder and reach the big money, however contestants must answer the question correctly to add the money to the prize bank.
The twist is that if the players push their luck too far they could crash out of the game and lose all the money!
Speaking about the show, Ant said: "We’re genuinely so excited to launch this new series. It’s something we’ve been developing with Hello Dolly and ITV for a while now and we can’t wait for you all to experience it. We hope you love it as much as we do."
Dec also shared his excitement for the show: "It’s been a number of years since we launched a brand new TV format, it’s not something we do very often! But we’ve hit on something that is ground breaking and innovative, and that’s why we are so excited to host this series and bring it to the nation."
When is Ant & Dec's Limitless Win on TV?
Packed with drama, jeopardy and real emotion, with contestants competing for the biggest prize ever organised, the programme launched on Saturday 8th January.
The show airs every Saturday night at 8.30pm and is scheduled to run for five weeks.

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."
