Ant and Dec’s third series of Limitless Win is expected to be more eventful than ever.

The hosts are returning with their much-loved game show, which sees contestants answer questions in a bid to win as much money as they can, with no limit to the amount of money they can have in the pot.

With every correct or near answer they get, they’ll move further on in the competition. However, if a contestant gets the answer over by just one, they run the risk of exiting and potentially losing thousands of already banked cash.

When talking about the next series – that airs January 6, 2024 – Ant shared of what fans can expect: ‘More drama, more tension, more fun, and more wins than ever before!’

Dec added, ‘Plus of course more ‘shout at the telly’ questions which the whole family can have a go at,’ as Ant said: ‘More contestants climb over a million pounds on our ladder than we’ve ever had before. And big wins. What can I say about the big wins Dec?’

Ant and Dec teased their ‘groundbreaking’ third series of Limitless Win, admitting fans can expect ‘more drama, more tension, more fun, and more wins than ever before!’

Dec recalled how Ant got so excited during Limitless Win series three he ‘nearly broke’ the desk by jumping on it

Despite admitting they couldn’t say ‘too much’ about the ‘big wins,’ Dec did say series three is ‘a groundbreaking series in more ways than one.’

In terms of their ‘funniest or most shocking moment’ from the upcoming series, the pair revealed how Ant actually got up on the desk at one point.

Dec recalled, ‘When Ant jumped on the desk, I was really shocked. And it was quite funny when he nearly broke it,’ as Ant insisted he did have a ‘very good reason for jumping on the desk.’

Ant pointed out that contestants have been doing ‘proper research’ for the next series, including people coming prepared with spreadsheets and things ‘written down on bits of paper.’

He added, ‘We have to check their arms before we go into the studio in case they wrote the answers down, like kids doing exams.’

Dec said, ‘Going into series three people have been doing loads of research and come really prepared. No wonder we’ve had more people going further up the ladder than ever before.’

With a fourth series of Limitless Win already being announced, Ant insisted ‘shout at the telly’ style questions were one of the reasons behind the show’s success.

Dec pointed out: ‘It’s so play along. The whole family can sit round and have a go at every question.’

Joking about whether they’re any closer to ‘bankrupting ITV’ with the show, Ant said: ‘In a word – yes! We’ve had more people climb up the ladder than ever before and this series sees the biggest win in the show’s history. Can I say that?!’

Dec teased, ‘I think you just did! There were a lot of accountants around the studio looking even greyer than normal!’

A rejigging of the show last series saw Ant and Dec take part in the ‘Take Two with Ant and Dec’ lifeline.

Despite Dec admitting his heart ‘still does sink’ every time the lifeline comes up, Ant teased: ‘We did get some spot on and help some contestants win a considerable amount of money.’

Dec added, ‘So thankfully we’ve got some really random knowledge up our sleeves.’

The third series teaser comes after Ant called the show ‘an emotional roller coaster’ after it was revealed it’d be coming back earlier this year.

Dec added: ‘We’re bracing ourselves for another two series of high tension and nail-biting drama as more contestants take on the Limitless ladder.

‘We’re excited to see how high they can climb now they’re so much more familiar with the show. Bring it on.’

Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win S3 will start on Saturday, January 6 on ITV1 and ITVX.
