Ant and Dec‘s Limitless Win returns in the New Year with significant changes to the criteria for the second season.
Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly will now participate in the Take Two lifeline, in which they will give their own solution to perhaps help a contestant in the correct way.
Dec explained the shift by revealing how producers presented the move and how the duo first resisted it.
He said: ‘Before we went in to record series 2, we reviewed everything from series 1 and one of the things we reviewed was the lifelines.
‘We looked at Take Two — which lets you take two answers — and the producers said it could be really fun if the ladder took one answer from the contestants and one from you two as the hosts. Our first reaction was, “No, no, absolutely not, that’s too much pressure.” ‘
However, they were soon won over after trying some ‘sample questions’.

As quoted by Digital Spy, he added: ‘But then we kind of talked about it and played it a bit and eventually warmed to it and thought, “Actually, we’re quite good at the game sometimes. This could work!!”
‘We tried it out a few times with sample questions here in the office, got our bravery up and said, “Ok, we’ll do it.” ‘
They had second thoughts once they entered the recording studio, and Dec refused to tell how the duet fared.
‘Yet, as soon as it came to the first record and that lifeline popped up, honestly my heart sank,’ he admitted. ‘I thought, “Oh God. Oh no. What have we done here? The pressure, the pressure!”
‘I’m not telling you how we got on. You’ll have to watch to see how we did!’
Ant noted that while the duo doesn’t have much time to stress or argue over their solution, the 30 second time limit also means they don’t have much time to think.
Meanwhile, the show is introducing new features such as music questions and pre-recorded greetings from candidates’ loved ones and celebrities.
Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win returns on January 7 at 8.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
