Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have given fans an update on the future of Saturday Night Takeaway. The duo confirmed that the popular ITV show would be taking a break for a while, after its 20th series next year.
In a video shared on Twitter, Dec said: "We've also decided our 20th series next year will be our last one for a little while.
The show takes up such a lot of our year, we just feel we need a little bit of a breather and that the show is going to take a little bit of a rest." The pair promised there would be some 'very special' look-backs planned as well as 'exciting new items' in the upcoming series.
