Ant and Dec have been forced to cancel their upcoming appearance at the National Television Awards 2022 due to illness.
The presenting duo, who are best known for hosting programmes such as I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Britain’s Got Talent, will be absent from the ceremony, which will take place on Thursday, October 13.
An insider confirmed the news to Metro.co.uk saying the pair will be a no-show.
It comes after confirmation that the pair will miss out on the upcoming spin-off special Britain’s Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician, because they’ve both been struck down by illness.
Ant and Dec are once again up for the TV presenter award, which they have won for the last 20 years in a row.
They will battle it out against Alison Hammond, Bradley Walsh, and Graham Norton for the coveted prize.
The Geordie duo is also up in another category, talent show, which will see Britain’s Got Talent go head to head with RuPaul’s Drag Race, Strictly Come Dancing, and The Masked Singer.

The full list of nominations for the starry event was unveiled in August and will see Netflix’s Heartstopper, This Is Going To Hurt, Time, and Trigger Point fight for the new drama gong.
Among the nominees is Tom Parker who has been posthumously shortlisted for a documentary about the charity concert he organised six months before his death aged 33 in aid of cancer research.
