Saturday Night Takeaway to return next month after two-year break

The Ant & Dec show was pulled after Ant McPartlin was arrested for drink driving in 2018

ITV have confirmed that Ant & Dec will bring back Saturday Night Takeaway in February.

The show was last on air in 2018 after Ant McPartlin pulled out of presenting the show after his arrest and charge for drink driving.

Declan Donnelly continued to present the show for the final two episodes which was the first time he had presented the show alone.

A new promo for the show will air on Saturday (February 1). The return date for the show has not been confirmed, but the final episode of The Masked Singer will air on February 15, leaving a the 7pm timeslot available from February 22

When the decision was made not to air Saturday Night Takeaway in 2019, McPartlin said: "My recovery is going very well and for that to continue having spoken to Dec and ITV, I have made the decision to take the rest of the year off.

"I’d like to thank both Dec and ITV for their continued support and I look forward to getting back to work in the new year."

Dec went on to present I'm a Celebrity in 2018 with Holly Willoughby, but Ant joined Dec in Australia last year for the 19th series.
