Inside Ant and Dec’s new Saturday Night Takeaway studio as duo return for ‘very different’ series

ANT McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have given fans a look inside the new Saturday Night Takeaway studio.

The presenters, both 45, warned that the show was going to be “very different” as it will broadcast entirely without an audience.

The pair appeared on This Morning in the middle of rehearsals at Television Centre in West London is a studio beside Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford’s.

Dec told the hosts that he and Ant had been working tirelessly over the past six months to get enough filmed to fill the show.

He said: “The show’s going to quite different – we have no studio audience here which is such an important part of Takeaway.

“We’ve got a virtual audience but it’ll be very different. We’ve been getting the show together in very different circumstances.

“We’ve had lockdowns and restrictions in place. But we’ve managed in the last six to eight months get enough VT stuff to get in the show, enough hidden camera stuff.

“We’ve got a series – it’ll be different but hopefully no less fun and entertaining.”

Saturday Night Takeaway returns to ITV with a special hour-and-a-half long show at 7pm tonight.
