Joe Wicks 'hijacked' by Ant and Dec for Saturday Night Takeaway prank as he becomes latest victim

Joe Wicks will be at the centre of chaotic scenes on this weekend's Saturday Night Takeaway as he becomes Ant and Dec's latest 'victim' for one of the show's most loved sketches.

After nearly a year long hiatus, Takeaway returned to ITV last month, with Ant and Dec hitting the ground running with a prank that saw them stage a fake baby scan to hoodwink an expectant father, before all was revealed to the unsuspecting man live on air. Star guests on the new series so far have included Tom Grennan, Mimi Webb, David Tennant and Alison Hammond and this weekend, more famous faces will join the fun.

And there will be a lot of attention on fitness guru Joe, as the Body Coach takes part in the always hilarious I'm A Celebrity Get Out of Me Ear. The fly on the wall sketch has been responsible for TV gold over the last decade, as the likes of Cheryl, Oti Mabuse and Harry and Jamie Redknapp, have been given bizarre and embarrassing instructions by Ant and Dec through a hidden ear piece.

The premise of Joe's I'm A Celebrity Get Out of Me Ear is that he is looking for a handyman to help with his house but, in a preview clip released by ITV on Friday, thinks take a surreal turn for Joe and one of the completely oblivious candidates for the job, when Joe is asked by Ant and Dec to bite into a huge cauliflower.

After the builder asks: "is that nice?" Joe then offers him a bite, before things get even more strange and hilarious for viewers at home, when Joe is asked by Ant to say that tucking into the cauliflower 'feels like eating a brain,' with him them forced to add: "I'm a zombie, give me the brain!"

Joe will be joined on Saturday Night Takeaway by this week's Star Guest Announcer, actress Toni Colette and Scissor Sisters star Jake Shears, who will perform in the End of the Show Show.
