Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway behind-the-scenes documentary to air in the spring

Fans of Geordie duo Ant & Dec are set for a treat with a behind the scenes documentary in the spring, when Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway: Behind the Screens is released, Digital Spy reports. The 19th series of the show will have documentary makers hiding amongst the production team to "capture the inner working, unique team ethos and daring creative spirit that attempts to make it alright on the night."

The popular pair will give "unprecedented access to everything that happens months, weeks, and seconds before they go live" as viewers get a closer look. "We are really excited to lift the curtain a little on Saturday Night Takeaway," Ant said in a statement.

"We'll have footage of all the ups and downs, the last-minute dramas that come with making a weekly live entertainment show. Believe me, there are lots of dramas that happen behind the scenes."

Dec adds: "We love watching fly-on-the-wall shows like Drive to Survive which goes behind the scenes of F1 so thought it could be really fun to allow the cameras to see how we make Saturday Night Takeaway. I'd love to see Behind The Screens on more entertainment shows."

Lifted Entertainment and Mitre Studios, Ant & Dec's production company which also produces the DNA Journey series, will combine to make the one-off documentary.

This development arrives shortly after it was announced that the pair will return for the 19th series of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on February 25. The new shows will feature appearances from an impressive list of celebrities, including Joe Wicks, Claudia Winkleman, Alison Hammond, Rylan Clark, Richard Wilson, Davina McCall, Joel Dommett, Dermot O'Leary, Keith Lemon, AJ Odudu, Judi Love and Stephanie Cole.
