Ant and Dec turn into pandas as Saturday Night Takeaway returns with very special guests

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is back on 22nd February, and it will see Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly transform themselves.

The Geordie duo will be disguised as pandas, complete with prosthetics, as part of a silly new skit called Don't Feed The Pandas.

And they will also be joined by some very special guests including Amanda Holden, Emily Atack, and The Pussycat Dolls.

The multi award-winning show returns live to ITV with a whole host of new and exclusive features, guests, live surprises and outrageous stunts along with all of the Saturday Night Takeaway favourites that viewers know and love.

Once the adults weren’t looking the Panda’s Howai and Wayai (Ant and Dec), started trying to persuade the kids to give them the Zoo keepers lunch – but will the children believe that Pandas can actually talk?

The Pussycat Dolls will join the comedy pair in the first show of the new series performing some of their biggest hits in the End of the Show Show with Camila Cabello as the first Guest Announcer.

Undercover and  I’m A Celebrity…Get Out Of Me Ear   will both return for the new series with some of the biggest celebrities taking part.

The Place on the Plane giveaway, where viewers are given the chance to see the Saturday Night Takeaway finale abroad, will become the biggest ever giveaway on British TV.

Ant and Dec are back on the case as super sleuths in a brand new mini-series. 

The duo are still members of 'The Honoured' charged with looking after Britain’s security and this time round they’ve been called in not just because Earth needs saving. There's an intergalactic security issue!

Ant and Dec will battle aliens and a secret race called The Squittarianuvians. Guest stars in the new series include Hugh Bonneville, Emily Atack, Amanda Holden, Richard Ayoade, Amber Gill, Paddy McGuinness, Simon Cowell, and lots more.

And Stephen Mulhern will return, putting the boys through brand new high-octane Ant vs Dec challenges.

Ant and Dec will be seeing out the new series in style, live from an undisclosed location which will be revealed in the first show of the new series.

In addition, one lucky viewer in the first live show will receive a truly life changing surprise - the biggest Saturday Night Takeaway has ever given.
