Saturday Night Takeaway fans were left 'gutted' after Ant and Dec confirmed the popular show would be returning for 'one last time.' The multi award-winning programme will be back on our screens for an extra special show this February.
Last year, the presenters confirmed the series would be taking a break after its upcoming 20th season. The new series is set to feature fan-favourites including 'Get Out Of Me Ear' - which sees celebrities give their power over to the Geordie duo to create some hilarious social situations - as well as the popular Win The Ads game. There will also be live surprises as well as new challenges.
Comedian Stephen Merchant will be the guest announcer for the show's first episode, while a brand new little Ant and Dec will be unveiled. There will be a special undercover challenge for music mogul Simon Cowell and a special 'End of the Show Show' with Becky Hill and Urban Theory.
