Ant and Dec's next Saturday Night Takeaway mission - should they choose to accept it - will be to save the very cradle of the United Kingdom.

Having conquered the jungle and survived a decade with Simon Cowell, The Queen has finally graced Ant and Dec with a place on her Honours List. With great power, comes great responsibility.

On this weekend's Saturday Night Takeaway, the duo will be invited to join the top-secret intelligence agency The Honoured by Silent Witness's Emilia Fox and sent on a secret mission to guard the Crown Jewels.

Despite being briefed by The Honoured's boss Joanna Lumley and working with cyber intelligence czar Dame Shirley Bassey, head of top-secret operations William Roache and the agency's resident badass Alan Titchmarsh, panic strikes when Ant and Dec have the Crown Jewels stolen right from under their noses!

Now, Ant and Dec are on a race against time to find the Queen's treasured jewels and discover the true identity of the masked thief… or lose their place in The Honoured forever!

To find out if they can complete their dangerous mission, you'll have to tune in to the return of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend.

It won't all be 007-style spy games though - Saturday's variety spectacular will also include a special performance from The Voice UK coach Jennifer Hudson and the debut of Scarlett Moffatt as the duo's co-host.

Queen of the Jungle Scarlett replaces Ashley Roberts, who revealed earlier in the week that she has no hard feelings over losing the coveted Saturday night TV gig.

"I don't really know Scarlett. I didn't watch the Jungle, and I haven't really seen her so I don't really know her personally," Ashley explained.

"But I'm sure the boys are going to have fun with her, and she'll have such a fun time. It's been a great run. I did four seasons with the boys and it's been awesome, I love them to pieces. I've known for a little while.

"Everybody reached out to me and we all had a nice discussion and it was handled well. Again, good wishes."

Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway returns on Saturday (February 26) at 7pm on ITV.
