Ant and Dec face £6m pay cut

Ant and Dec are reportedly facing a £6 million pay cut as recession-hit ITV attempts to make savings of £65 million.

The presenting duo, who host I'm A Celebrity..., told The Mirror that they are bracing themselves for the autumn when their deal is to be revisited.

Ant McPartlin, 33, said: "It's a tough time for everyone right now and our deal is up later this year. Who knows what will happen?

"If we're offered less, so be it. For me it's all about the shows. I just want to make great shows and brilliant programmes and money comes after that."

McPartlin and his co-presenter Dec Donnelly, 34, are expected to start talks in the summer about extending their two-and-a-half-year contract. The pair also host Britain's Got Talent and Saturday Night Takeaway.
