Ant and Dec Ant and DecOh, from what humble beginnings these golden boys began.

Ant and Dec have come along way since Byker Grove and don't their pay packets show it.

The star duo are expecting to see their joint earnings from ITV leap to £8m a year as their contract comes up for renewal, according to the Daily Express.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are the most popular light entertainment faces on the box - seen most recently hosting I'm A Celebrity...

Currently the pair are cashing in £5m a year but when that contract ends the pair will be free to do a bunk to ITV's rivals.

But Paul Jackson, ITV's director of entertainment and comedy, has told a media website of the twosome's importance.

He stressed that the channel will do "everything we can to hold onto them.

"I've worked with them for a long time and it's hard to think of anyone who can do exactly what they do."

Wy-aye boys, looks like the drinks are on you.
