Ant & Dec have announced their first-ever podcast series, alongside the launch of a brand-new digital entertainment channel called Belta Box.
The podcast, Hanging Out With Ant & Dec, launches on Thursday 22 January, with new episodes landing every two weeks and a bonus episode released every Monday. It marks a new chapter for the nation’s favourite presenting duo, bringing their trademark humour and chemistry into a more relaxed, unscripted format.
Unlike their television work, the podcast is designed to feel informal and spontaneous. With no set agenda or script, the series focuses on Ant and Dec simply catching up, reminiscing, and seeing where the conversation goes. Listeners are encouraged to get involved, helping shape the topics discussed in each episode.
Now both juggling family life and busy schedules, the pair say the podcast was created as a way to reclaim time together. The result is a conversational series built around honesty, humour and shared memories, with the audience playing a central role in the experience.
Alongside the podcast, Ant & Dec have launched Belta Box, a new digital-first entertainment channel that will act as the home for their podcast as well as a growing collection of original formats and classic moments from across their careers.
Available across platforms including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, Belta Box will feature a mix of brand-new content alongside much-loved clips from shows such as Saturday Night Takeaway and Byker Grove. The channel is positioned as a feel-good space curated by the duo, celebrating entertainment that brings people together.
Ant said:
“We’ve spent our whole careers celebrating great entertainment, so launching Belta Box feels like the natural next step. Alongside our new podcast, we’re excited to create a space packed with fun, feel-good content that brings people together.”
Dec added:
“We asked our audience what they’d want from a podcast, and they said they just wanted us to hang out. Ant and I don’t get to do that as much as we used to, so this felt like the perfect idea.”
Both Belta Box and Hanging Out With Ant & Dec are produced by Mitre Studios, the award-winning creative company founded by the duo in 2011. Mitre Studios has been behind a wide range of popular TV formats, including Saturday Night Takeaway, DNA Journey and Limitless Win, and continues to expand its digital output.
Extended video versions of the podcast will be available to watch on the Belta Box YouTube channel, with audio episodes available wherever listeners get their podcasts.
