A new documentary is set to go behind the scenes to show what goes into making of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.

The I'm A Celebrity hosts have teased their will be plenty of drama for cameras, as they film the upcoming season, with the inner workings of the show on display.

The one off, one hour documentary will be made by Ant & Dec's Mitre Studios and Lifted Entertainment, which is part of ITV Studios, and aired on ITV and ITVX.

Ant, 47, said: “We are really excited to lift the curtain a little on Saturday Night Takeaway. We'll have footage of all the ups and downs, the last-minute dramas that come with making a weekly live entertainment show.

"Believe me there are lots of dramas that happen behind the scenes."

Dec, also 47, said: “We love watching fly on the wall shows like Drive To Survive which goes behind the scenes of F1 so thought it could be really fun to allow the cameras to see how we make Saturday Night Takeaway. I’d love to see Behind The Screens on more entertainment shows.”

Ant & Dec have been in the spotlight since they starred in Byker Grove in the early 1990s.

They have gone on to present huge shows including Britain's Got Talent and Saturday Night Takeaway.

Earlier this week is was confirmed that Saturday Night Takeaway is returning this month, on February 25 at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Viewer favourites are back including Ring My Bell, Singalong Live and Win the Ads.

There are also some End of the Show Shows planned throughout the series run which as always will amaze and entertain.

Stephen Mulhern, Fleur East, Jordan North and Andi Peters will all help hosts Ant and Dec out throughout the series once again, with Stephen putting the boys through a brand new set of high octane Ant vs Dec challenges.

The Geordie duo added an eyeball emoji to what seemed to be a typo from the show's page - sending fans wild with excitement.

"Yay!!!! Our favourite family viewing that even the hubby will watch with us Can't wait for it to be back," one delighted viewer replied to Ant and Dec's cryptic tweet on February 9.

As the release date for the new series was confirmed today, it was also revealed Ant & Dec will have a brand new huge audience giveaway for 2023.
