Ant McPartlin Takes On Banana Eating World Record

Ant McPartlin has announced he will attempt to break a banana eating world record during a recording of his new podcast with Declan Donnelly. The current record stands at eight bananas in one minute. Donnelly was reportedly left in hysterics by the surprise challenge, which required an official adjudicator to be present.

This surprising challenge comes to light as the presenting duo revealed they considered leaving Britain's Got Talent. They discussed a past meeting with Simon Cowell in 2012 where they expressed disillusionment with their roles on the show and Cowell's punctuality. Cowell reportedly promised changes to ensure their increased involvement and enjoyment.

As a result of their conversation with Cowell, things improved, and the pair decided to continue with the show. They are set to return for the nineteenth series of Britain's Got Talent in February 2026. The 'Hanging Out With Ant & Dec' podcast releases new episodes weekly, with additional content available on Mondays.
