ITV Commissions UK Holey Moley With Ant & Dec as Hosts

The four-part crazy-golf contest signals ITV's push for broad family entertainment.

Overview

  • ITV, which confirmed the commission on Thursday at its 2026 Showcase, named Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly to front the series.
  • The four-episode event will film this summer, with Talkback Thames and Mitre Studios co-producing for primetime on ITV.
  • Public casting is open now and closes on Friday 15 May, inviting pros and keen amateurs to apply.
  • Holey Moley scales up mini-golf with giant obstacles, eight players per episode, and prizes that include a golden putter and a green plaid jacket.
  • The format launched in the US in 2019 and in Australia in 2021, and Ant & Dec’s involvement aims to bring it to a mainstream UK audience.
