ANT & Dec are lining up their next telly takeover — and this one involves windmills, wobblers and very questionable putting skills.

The duo’s Mitre Studios, alongside Fremantle, are reportedly working on a UK spin on US hit Holey Moley — the chaotic crazy-golf competition where contestants tackle a giant obstacle course for cold, hard cash.

Insiders say it’s “fresh, fun” and tailor-made for the Geordie pair, promising physical challenges, wild set pieces and plenty of on-brand chaos. Honestly? We can already hear the cackling.

The new project would also give Ant and Dec more time together — something they’ve admitted has been in short supply since becoming dads. On their podcast Hanging Out with Ant and Dec, Dec confessed they launched it because they weren’t “hanging out as much” anymore.

Between Dec’s two kids with wife Ali Astall and Ant welcoming baby Wilder with wife Anne-Marie Corbett in 2024, plus house moves and hectic schedules, the lads say life looks very different these days.

Still, if this madcap mini-golf showdown gets the green light? Expect dad jokes, dramatic putts and peak Saturday-night telly energy.

Fore-real.
