TV presenters Ant and Dec have sold their celebrity golf show to Sky after ITV bosses failed to back it.

It will feature teams from Europe and the US, with keen golfers Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas also being sought to take part.

The show will be broadcast on Sky over the August Bank holiday weekend
