ANT and Dec are bringing back a revamped version of their axed ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway.
It was last screened in 2009 and was falling in the ratings before being “rested” by the channel but the Geordie duo will revive it next year.
The pair, in Australia preparing for the start of I’m A Celebrity this Sunday, have agreed the same £10million two-year deal as before.
Dec said: “We always said we would bring back Saturday Night Takeaway, so we’re particularly delighted plans are now in place. We have lots of fresh and exciting ideas for the brand new series.”
ITV director of television Peter Fincham was also delighted by the new deal.
He said: “Ant and Dec’s ability to connect with our audience is unrivalled.”
But ITV said there was “no decision” on a second series of Simon Cowell’s controversial £1million prize gameshow Red or Black, also hosted by the double act.
