“Thank you to all of the shows and all of the people we work with. We are the luckiest people on earth because we have the best production teams on earth,” Ant told the cheering crowd.
Dec admitted that he was more nervous than ever for this year’s award, adding that the duo were “as humbled” as ever to win.
“We’ll keep doing it [working] as long as you want us to keep doing it,” Ant promised.
Ant and Dec are incredibly busy these days, following the recent confirmation from ITV that their game show Limitless Win has been renewed for two more series.
The presenters are also only a few months away from returning to the jungle for another series of I’m a Celebrity and have more BGT on the way next year.

One big change in Ant and Dec’s schedule has also been recently confirmed: They announced they’ll be pausing Saturday Night Takeaway following its next series to focus on other projects.
Despite their historic win, the duo did have a blip during this year’s NTAs when Googlebox pipped them to score the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award, ending their 10-year streak in the category.
The National Television Awards have aired live on ITV1 and ITVX.
