ITV has cancelled Saturday Night Takeaway in 2019 following co-host Ant McPartlin‘s drink driving arrest earlier this year.
The show will take a ‘break’ and return in 2020, per The BBC:
Ant and Dec have postponed next year’s Saturday Night Takeaway, with the show not set to return until 2020.
Dec Donnelly will also front November’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ alone, while Ant McPartlin continues to take a break from all TV presenting until 2019.
They said it was a joint decision to postpone a new series of Takeaway.
Ant stepped down from his TV work in March following his arrest on suspicion of driving.
Will Saturday Night Takeaway become a permanent member of the TV shows cancelled club? Stay tuned…
RIP.
Ant McPartlin was charged with drink driving not Declan Donnelly.
