Earlier today, Ant and Dec surprised This Morning hosts Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond when they appeared in the studio banging cymbals, blowing whistles and covering everything in confetti to announce the return of Saturday Night Takeaway.

Dec said: "We were actually just passing, we were on our way to film something for tomorrow night’s show.

"But we just wanted to remind you and everybody because we had a week off last week because of the rugby, so we just wanted to remind you all that we are back tomorrow night at 7pm."

Ant added: "We normally see you in the tea bar don’t we after you finish the show, but we thought we would interrupt your show!"

Coogan released some first look pictures earlier this week for his new Channel 4 show Chivalry, which he co-created and stars in with Sarah Solemani.

In it, he plays a ladies' man film producer as the drama follows a plot set in the movie industry exploring how romance works in a post #MeToo world.

Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway airs tomorrow at 7pm on ITV.
