Geordie TV stars Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have revealed they want to do a sitcom in the future.
The pair will be seen on our screens again this weekend as Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway returns to ITV.
Ahead of he show, they told the Sun how they have held “extensive talks” about a potential sitcom project and hope it will become a reality in the future.
Ant told the publication: “We’ve talked about it quite seriously in the past. We’ve got quite close.
“We did a version of The Likely Lads, which we loved.
“And we loved the process of it — rehearsing it and doing it in front of a live studio audience.”
Dec added: “You’ve got to get the idea right and make sure it’s the right thing at the right time."
He said the other problem they faced was finding the time to do it when they've already got three big shows on the go throughout the year.
This weekend's Saturday Night Takeaway is the first episode to air on ITV in two years, after the Geordie duo opted to take a year off in 2019.
The much-anticipated comeback is promised to be even bigger and better than previous seasons, reports The Mirror.
