What to expect from the final show of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway

Ant and Dec are set to take a break from their primetime ITV television show, Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, with the final episode set to air on Saturday, April 13.

To make sure the final episode goes out with a bang, the iconic geordie presenting duo have planned an extravaganza of a show, with a star-studded line-up of celebrities set to appear, most of which they have worked with during their incredible career.

Ant and Dec met as youngsters on the set of Newcastle-based children’s drama Byker Grove, and were ultimately a huge hit with the viewers of the show. 

Byker Grove helped to skyrocket Ant and Dec’s career, and they are now the most successful people to come from the series. 

At the beginning of their career, they released music as their Byker Grove characters and as themselves, before realising their true talent and passion was in television presenting. 

They are now mostly known for presenting I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here, Britain’s Got Talent and their own variety show, Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, among other shows. 

Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway first aired from 2002 to 2009, before returning in 2013, with a brand-new look. 

However, Ant and Dec announced that the current series of the show, which is the 20th series overall, would be their last for a while, as they will put the show on an indefinite hiatus.
