The pair made their big reveal on their joint Twitter page, alongside an image that showed them clad in tropical print shirts and reading magazines, with Dec also supping a cocktail.

“Wishing everyone a great month and we’ll see you at the end of August!”

Fans were quick to support their social media break, with one writing underneath: “See you lads <3 have a good time.

Another posted: “Enjoy your break and see you soon,” as a third put: “Hope you both have a great time!!!❤

One then added: “Have fun and stay safe x”

Dec, 44, has a young daughter Isla with wife Ali Astall and he will no doubt be wanting to spend some quality time with the tot.

Ant, also 44, is loved up with Anne-Marie Corbett with the pair no doubt craving some quality time alone and off-screen.

The Geordie pair’s new book is called Once Upon A Tyne, a witty play on words

Last month, HOAR Online reported how Ant and Dec had reunited after three months apart to record for their new autobiography, Once Upon A Tyne.

A video clip of their studio session starts with Dec peering around the back of a black people carrier before beckoning for someone to join him.

As he runs out of shot, Ant then appears and mouths: “Let’s go!”

The lads can then been seen in the studio while keeping a social distance from each other in line with current Government guidelines.
