Ant and Dec confirm Bradley Walsh prank air time ahead of Saturday Night Takeaway

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is still going ahead amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The ITV show is taking extra precautions when it comes to the studio and it will take place without its live audience for the first time in 18 years.

The episode on Saturday, March 21 is still set to be a huge hit, however, as the highly-anticipated Bradley Walsh prank will finally air after weeks of the presenting duo teasing it.

Viewers of the show have been desperate to see the segment, 15 years after Ant and Dec went undercover and first pranked the presenter.

The prank will take place during the ITV show The Chase, which Bradley presents.

Everyone at The Chase, including the production crew, contestants and Jenny the Chaser are all in on the joke.

A teaser clip for the segment sees Bradley get increasingly frustrated as Ant and Dec set about making as much noise as possible during filming.

Confirming the Bradley Walsh prank would be airing this Saturday night on This Morning, Ant and Dec said: "We got him 15 years ago and he was the angriest celebrity and stormed off and wouldn't talk to us."

Explaining that his reaction led them to want to catch him out again, Ant added: "It's been three years in the planning, we got him on an episode of The Chase."

Other guests on Saturday's night show include Joel Dommett as the Guest Announcer and Olly Murs as the End of the Show Show star.

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway airs on Saturday at 7pm on ITV.
