It seems like we’ve been waiting forever for the return of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, but there’s not long more to go.
Sure, the iconic duo are never really off the air: we had I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! until December, and the pair have been hosting game show Limitless Win since January.
But Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are at their very best on Saturday nights, leaving the nation in stitches as they prank celebrities… or force them to do mortifying challenges.

Now, after almost a year since the show last aired, ITV have confirmed when Saturday Night Takeaway will be back.
The multi-award-winning show will return on Saturday (duh) February 19 at 7pm.
Both Undercover and Get Out of Me Ear (with none other than Jeremy Clarkson and Oti Mabuse taking part) will return, as will the full, live studio audience.
New mini-series Polters Guys will see the duo become Ghost Busters with the help of celebrities including Rob Delaney, Jo Brand, Kadeena Cox, Tom Allen, Fred Siriex and Roman Kemp.
The star-studded cast set to show up throughout the series also includes Fleur East, Andi Peters, Michael Buble, George Ezra and more.
The Newcastle duo will face off against each other once again in Ant vs Dec, with Stephen Mulhern putting them through their paces for the challenges.
On Air Dares and Singalong Live will both be back, as well as new studio game Kiddi-eoke.
There’s been a real buzz in the air for the new series of Takeaway since the first trailer aired last week, with viewers reminded of some of the craziest and most iconic moments from previous series.
In the trailer, a very serious narrator explains the show: ‘It’s simple, take two cheeky chappies from Newcastle, add star-studded guests and what do you get?
‘It’s 90 minutes of live television, performed by consulate professionals who can handle anything.’
