Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are set to host a new family gameshow on ITV, titled Holey Moley. The announcement was made during the 2026 ITV Showcase on Thursday, with filming scheduled to begin this summer.
The show is a UK adaptation of the American and Australian series, which features contestants competing in extreme crazy golf. Each episode will see eight players face off in a series of ambitious, larger-than-life holes, combining precision putting with stamina and nerve. The winner receives the Holey Moley golden putter, a green plaid jacket, and a prize.
Ant and Dec, both keen golfers, expressed their enthusiasm. Ant said: 'This show is absolutely perfect for us. It's all about pure fun and entertainment for the whole family from start to finish.' Dec added: 'Holey Moley blends the game with huge entertaining moments that the whole family can sit down together, watch and enjoy.'
Katie Rawcliffe, ITV's Director of Entertainment, Reality & Daytime Commissioning, said: 'We couldn’t be more excited to announce a brand-new entertainment format presented by Ant & Dec. Holey Moley is brilliantly competitive and enormous fun.'
The series first aired in the US in 2019 and expanded to Australia in 2021. The UK version will consist of four episodes, featuring inventive obstacles such as spinning windmills, exploding obstacles, slippery slopes and surprise hazards. Applications are open until Friday, May 15.
