While there was no Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend, Ant and Dec weren’t entirely absent from screens as they became the subject of a show on Channel 5.
There was outcry from Takeaway fans last week, when it was announced that ITV were cancelling the show and Starstruck straight after it, to make way for live coverage of the Six Nations rugby.
The rugby was set to take over ITV from 7.15pm to 10.30pm, but while Saturday Night Takeaway wasn’t on, Ant and Dec were on the TV. Seizing on the viewer backlash against ITV, Channel 5 made sure that fans could still get their fix of the Geordie duo, as they screened Ant and Dec’s 30 Greatest Moments at the same time Takeaway would normally be on.
