Ant and Dec on This Morning today
This Morning today saw Ant and Dec make an appearance on the show to talk about the return of Saturday Night Takeaway.
Their hit show will be back on screens tomorrow night, featuring guests such as David Tennant and Tom Grennan.
However, the duo also spoke about a new one-off documentary that they’re set to star in too.
The documentary – which has the working title of Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway: Behind The Screens – will give viewers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the hit Saturday night show.
“What about the behind-the-scenes thing?” Dermot O’Leary asked the duo toward the end of the interview.
“Cos this is inspired by F1 Netflix doc, Drive to Survive,” he continued.

Dec then confirmed that this was the case.
“We love those docs,” Dec explained. “And we thought it would be really interesting to see behind the scenes on entertainment shows and on telly shows.”
“You know what it’s like working in live television,” Ant later said. “Things go wrong all of the time. Things change all of the time.”
“And I think, once they’ve done with us, the cameras, This Morning would be a very good show to go behind the scenes,” he said, smirking.

However, Alison and Dermot didn’t seem so keen on that idea.
“Oh, I dunno,” Alison said, wincing. “There’s a lot that goes on at This Morning!”

“That’s what we want to see!” Ant cried.
It was at this point that Dec hinted at some backstage drama on the show.
“I’ve heard it’s better than EastEnders!” he quipped, looking to the side.
His comment then sent Ant and Alison into a fit of laughter.
