Ant and Dec will star in a new show for ITV.
The I’m A Celebrity duo will be joined by Stephen Mulhern for a brand-new travel programme called The Accidental Tourist, the broadcaster announced on Wednesday. It’s been commissioned by ITV1 and ITVX and will be broadcast on TV in 2025.
“Catchphrase and Deal or No Deal host Stephen is a man who likes what he knows – and that does not include travelling to exotic locations, trying new foods or being pushed out of his comfort zone in any way,” a synopsis reads in a press announcement.

Speaking of the new show, Stephen said: “Travelling and adventure have never been on my list of favourite things… so to say I’m nervous would be a huge understatement! This project sort of feels like the world’s worst bucket list! There are lots of things I love in life, just as much as there are things I don’t like; fancy food, exotic places, and even the sound of the cutlery scraping on the food tins on I’m A Celebrity can tip me over the edge!
“I’ve never even had a cup of coffee… so don’t get me started on avocado! In this case, I can’t help but feel I’m going to be facing them all! I like to have a lot of laughs during the shows I present, but I’ve got a sense you’ll be seeing a lot more emotions than just laughter on this journey! I hope you enjoy it and please wish me luck!”
Dec said: “We can’t wait to send Stephen off on his exotic journey of self-discovery and see what he uncovers.” Detailing what viewers can expect to see in the new show, Ant added: “It’s going to be a lot of fun, for us mainly, not so much for Stephen.”
The show’s description from ITV continues: “Stephen will be thrust out of his comfort zone to see if he can truly unearth the adventurer within. With Ant & Dec taking their cues from their favourite viral clips, they are sending Stephen somewhere he has never been before, in an effort to help to test his resolve and push his boundaries. Stephen will encounter epic locations, exotic cultures and cuisines, incredible people and places and exhilarating activities he would never have chosen for himself.”
The Accidental Tourist will air on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player in 2025.
