Ant and Dec Tee Off with Britain's Golf Talent
Ant and Dec will show off their skills at this month's Golf Live event
Britain's Got Talent presenters Ant and Dec will put their golfing talent to the test in front of a packed house at this month's Golf Live and Celebrity Cup at Celtic Manor.
The double act will join Ryder Cup legend Colin Montgomerie in the main theatre at 3pm on Saturday 11 May and take part in a 'nearest the pin' and 'straightest drive' competition.
Originally asked to present the trophy the following Sunday, Ant and Dec are unable to commit as they have been nominated for two BAFTA awards that evening.
Instead, they will put their golfing skills on the line and attend the fundraising Celebrity Gala Dinner at Celtic Manor that Saturday night.
2010 Ryder Cup winning captain Montgomerie said: "We're delighted that Ant and Dec are coming back to Celtic Manor to join in the fun, and especially pleased they will now be there in the evening to support The Elizabeth Montgomerie Foundation.
"Alongside the 24 celebrities representing their countries, it's going to be a great day and a truly entertaining evening."
Ant and Dec will be joined by the likes of Sir Steve Redgrave, Rob Brydon, Kenny Dalglish and Martin O'Neill at Britain's only golf and lifestyle weekend.
