The well-known comedy and presenting duo, made famous for their work on Britain's Got Talent and Byker Grove will return for another series of Saturday Night Takeaway.

The show sees the two get up to all sorts of shenanigans at the expense of unsuspecting members of the public and the celebrities who join them.

With all that said, here is when the show will arrive on UK TV screens as well as the star-studded lineup set for the show.

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway hints at a return

Previously, fans of the show expected its return after a series of cryptic tweets appeared to suggest this.

The tweets each contained one word from the show's iconic theme tune to spell out the line: "'I just can't wait 'til Saturday."

The show was then officially confirmed for a return after a tweet from the account told viewers that the show would be back later this month on ITV.
