"Holly Willoughby" Gets Punk'd By Ant And Dec Saturday Night Takeaway 2014
Ant & Dec's
Saturday Night Takeaway (often referred to simply as Saturday Night Takeaway) is a
British television variety show presented and executively produced by Ant & Dec. The show was first broadcast on 8 June
2002 on
ITV. It is broadcast live from
The London Studios on the
South Bank.
The format was heavily influenced by previous
Saturday night light entertainment shows, most notably
Noel's House Party and
Don't Forget Your Toothbrush, while individual items often pay homage to Saturday night TV of the past, such as
Opportunity Knocks.
From its launch in 2002, the show was unbeaten for four series in its timeslot until scheduled against
Doctor Who on
BBC One in
March 2005. The show entered hiatus in
2010 after its ninth series to allow Ant & Dec to launch family game shows Ant & Dec's
Push the Button and
Red or Black?. However, in
November 2011, it was announced that Saturday Night Takeaway would return in early
2013. After winning the
Award for
Best Presenters at the
18th National Television Awards on
23 January 2013, Ant & Dec announced that the show would return on
23 February 2013. An official Saturday Night Takeaway iOS app for iPod, iPhone and iPad was released on
15 February 2013. After the fifth episode of series 10, ITV announced that the show would return for an eleventh series in 2014, owing to the popularity of the current run.
On
31 October 2013, it was announced that an arena tour version of the show would take place in summer 2014. Takeaway
On Tour Live will visit 12 UK arenas between 6
August 2014 and
10 September 2014, after the 11th series of the long-running entertainment show begins on ITV.
On 10 September
2005, ITV had a programme listing the best 50 shows in
ITV's 50 years being on air. Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway came second, beaten only by
Coronation Street.
