Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway return date finally confirmed – and major format shake-up

ANT & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway return date has finally been confirmed.

The hit ITV show sees the Geordie duo bring the nation the happiest 90 minutes of the week.

Saturday Night Takeaway was last on screen in April last year, and now this year’s series start date has been confirmed for February 25.

Ant and Dec will bring the viewers at home and the live studio audience a host of new and exclusive features, live surprises, celebrity guests, returning favourites and outrageous stunts.

Fan-favourite segments including Ring My Bell, Singalong Live and Win the Ads will be back, as well as more fantastic End of the Show Shows.

In recent years the presenting duo have filmed a mini-series featuring a host of famous faces.

This year is no different, with a mystery whodunnit called Murder At Bigwig Manor.

Richard Wilson plays the Head of ITV with cameos including Davina McCall, Joel Dommett, Dermot O’Leary, Keith Lemon, AJ Odudu, Judi Love and Stephanie Cole.

Ant and Dec will also be joined once again by Stephen Mulhern, Fleur East, Jordan North and Andi Peters.

Stephen, 45, will be putting the boys through a brand new set of high octane Ant vs Dec challenges.

The hosts will also have a brand new huge audience giveaway for 2023, with all being revealed live on air in the first show.

Some of the UK’s biggest celebrities will feature this year, with Joe Wicks and Claudia Winkleman starring in brand new editions of I’m A Celebrity…Get Out Of Me Ear!

Meanwhile Alison Hammond and Rylan are the next unwitting victims of their very own Undercovers.

Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway returns on Saturday, February 25 on ITV1.
