Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is back and the 'cheeky chappies' promise more chaos

Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway is returning to our screens very soon.

Geordie Duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were on fine form as they poked fun at themselves in an hilarious promo for their brand new series.

The multi award-winning will air on ITV and ITV Hub later this month for the "happiest ninety minutes of the week".

Saturday Night Takeaway's pending return comes days after it was confirmed Ant and Dec's gameshow Limitless Win will be getting a second series, despite fans branding it 'complicated'.

While Limitless Win may have divided some viewers, there's no doubt that Saturday Night Takeaway will be a undisputed massive hit with all fans when it returns later this month.

The primetime TV show has been one of the most consistent ratings winners of the last 20 years for ITV and won multiple awards during its time on air.

In the preview for the new series, cheeky chappies Ant and Dec and highlights from previous seasons can be seen, with the voice over claiming: "It's 90 minutes of live television performed by consummate professionals who can handle anything."

Last year saw guests like Gordon Ramsay, Olly Alexander, Michelle Visage and Sir Tom Jones join the much0loved duo in the studio, with one of the most memorable moments being when the two presenters joined Nathan Evans for a special End of the Show Show version of his smash hit Wellerman.

The pair's old SMTV co-host Cat Deeley also made an appearance on the ITV show, reunited with Ant and Dec for a special edition of Chums.

"It's a well-oiled machine," Ant described the show in the new preview, before the camera cut to past 'chaos' and mishaps that have aired on previous episodes.

"We always have it under control," Dec chimed in with, poking fun at their presenting style.

"It's a very serious business," Ant added during the tongue-in-cheek clip.

The voiceover continued: "It's the show that needs no explaining. Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway starts this February live on ITV."

Tweeting the preview for the new series on Friday, Saturday Night Takeaway's official account wrote: "It’s the show that needs no explaining… and it’s BACK! See you on the telly this February on @ITV and ITV Hub."

"Can’t wait for the new series! My favourite TV show ever," one fan tweeted Ant and Dec's joint Twitter account when the news broke on Friday.

Another excited viewer added: "I can't wait I love the show, need to appear on it at some point it's on my bucket list xx."

"Can’t wait to see all the memes that will come out of this show!! And obvs can’t wait to see Ant and Dec," a third jubilant fan quipped online.

"I'm much more excited about seeing this show finally return than that weirdly unenthusiastic narrator," another mused, clearly not enjoying the tongue-in-cheek preview.
