Saturday Night Takeaway continues its new series this weekend and the identity of Ant and Dec's big name guest announcer has been 'leaked' before any official announcement from the show or the hosts themselves.
Since it returned to screens last month, Takeaway has been TV gold, with the Geordie presenters staging quite possibly their most elaborate stunt to date in episode one, when they tricked an expectant father into thinking he was at his baby's 4D scan, as the child waved at shim from the womb. That was just one element to a prank which was revealed to the man in front of the nation, with Ant and Dec then promising the show would put £1,000 in the baby's bank account every year for the first 18 years of their life.
The Star Guest Announcer for the series opener was David Tennant and following in his footsteps this week is Toni Colette, the celebrated actress most famous for playing the title role in Muriel's Wedding. Before her role was made public, Toni's involvement was 'leaked' on an online TV guide, which also revealed that this week's End of the Show Show performer will be Scissors Sisters icon Jake Shears.

As well as shooting to fame in the mid 90s in still much loved movie Muriel's Wedding, Toni, highly reported to have turned down the lead role in Bridget Jones before it was given to Renee Zellweger, has also starred in The Sixth Sense, which she received an Oscar nomination for, About A Boy, The Hours and L:ittle Miss Sunshine. More recently she starred in quirky BBC drama Wanderlust.
A teaser for this week's Saturday Night Takeaway also reveals that Joe Wickes will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Cheryl, Oti Mabuse and Harry and Jamie Redknapp as the latest victim of the always hilarious I'm A Celebrity Get Outta Me Ear, as he pretends to search for a handyman.
