Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway looking for lockdown heroes for new series

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway has launched an appeal to find lockdown heroes to honour in its new series.

The hit ITV show is looking for everyday superheroes who helped us through the pandemic to feature on TV.

It was last on screens earlier this year with its final few episodes affected by the coronavirus pandemic, with the pair having to host the show without a studio audience for the first time in 17 years.

They then ended up hosting the show from their own living rooms, as the country went into lockdown.

Takeaway will be back on TV next year and will pay tribute to people who have gone above and beyond during these uncertain times, Chronicle Live reports.

Making an appeal for lockdown heroes on its official Facebook page last Saturday morning, a post read: "Ant and Dec ARE BACK (hooray!) and with a shiny new series of Takeaway in the pipeline, they want to hear all about the glorious people who have really made you smile this year!

Find out local vaccine locations near you by adding your postcode below

"Whether it’s a key worker who has gone above and beyond, a neighbour who's brought your community together or a child who has shown incredible kindness, nominate them here and they could be surprised as part of the new series!"

To nominate someone for some recognition on Saturday Night Takeaway click HERE to fill in the form, giving as much information about them as you can, along with pictures and video.

The closing date to submit an entry form is Friday, April 2, 2021.

And, most importantly remember to keep the nomination secret from the person in question.
