Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway replaced with new show on ITV from next week

Fans of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway have been left gutted ahead of the final episode of 2021 airing tonight.

ITV have revealed that Vernon Kay's Game of Talents will fill the primetime slot from next week, with Britain's Got Talent unable to go ahead because of Covid.

It means it will likely be autumn until the presenting duo return to our screens, with the return of I'm A Celebrity.

Many will be tuning in to the Saturday night staple tonight for the last time in 2021 after last week's episode attracted 100 Ofcom complaints after a joke about Dec's height.

ITV say that from next week viewers will be able to tune in to Vernon Kay's Game of Talents, which will see celebrities and members of the public attempt to uncover the hidden talents of eight performers.

Each of the teams will need to guess purely based on a variety of clues given and the appearance of the performers themselves.

Ahead of the TV show airing, Vernon said: "We’re lining up some amazing performers whose skills are both jaw-droppingly brilliant and at times surreal.

"I can’t wait for viewers to play along at home and try to guess who has which hidden talent. Prepare to be shocked and amazed in equal measure.”

Saturday Night Takeaway airs tonight at 7pm on ITV
