Chatting about their decision, the duo said: "We are absolutely delighted to be extending our relationship with ITV, to continue on the three shows we love as well as exploring further opportunities both in front of and behind the camera. This deal will take us past the 20-year mark with ITV and we couldn't be happier."
ITV Director of Television, Kevin Lygo added: "Ant and Dec are quite simply brilliant entertainers and I'm thrilled that we will be working together for another three years. They are incredibly passionate about television and have that rare ability to connect with audiences of all ages, which has helped make the shows they present some of the biggest on British TV."
Ant and Dec first joined ITV back in 1998, presenting Saturday morning shows SM:tv LIVE and CD:UK before signing exclusively to the channel from 2000. Since then they've won a record-breaking 30 National Television Awards, 12 BAFTA Television Awards, 8 RTS Awards and a slew of TV Choice Awards.
The pair can be seen on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! which continues nightly on ITV.
