Ant and Dec confirmed Saturday Night Takeaway's future with one of their final remarks of the show's new series.
The Geordie presenters have pulled in audiences of millions every weekend for the past few months, with Takeaway enjoying a return to its hey-day, after two years of disruption due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2020, having been forced to host the ITV show without a crowd one week, Ant and Dec then had to host the final two shows of that series separately from their living rooms, after the country was plunged into the first national lockdown.
While tight restrictions were still in place at the start of last year, Saturday Night Takeaway did return but, once again Ant and Dec were minus a studio audience, with bosses bringing in a huge video wall featuring viewers at home. This year, with Covid rules now a thing of the past, the programme has been allowed to fire on all cylinders.
