Presenting dream team Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have reportedly both fallen ill and been forced to immediately pull out of their work commitments - and that includes a Britain's Got Talent special. There are also doubts about the pair turning up for the NTAS (National Television Awards) on Thursday, October 13.
Stephen Mulhern will be stepping in to host the BGT show. Stephen is a regular face alongside the duo on shows such as Saturday Night Takeaway.
News that nation's favourites had been struck down by a sudden illness was confirmed by an ITV spokesperson. Ant and Dec were due to present two-hour special Britain's Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician, which was filmed in front of a live studio audience on Tuesday. The show, in which the champion would win £50,000, brings together the 10 most memorable and greatest magicians from past series, according to the Mirror.
