Ant and Dec on Saturday Night Takeaway arena tour The comedy duo at British Academy Television Awards, earlier this year Ant and Dec have unveiled dates for a UK arena tour of their Saturday Night Takeaway show. It will see the presenters bring their TV show, which features crazy pranks and mind-boggling challenges, live to the stage. Ant & Dec said: "Takeaway is the one show that people always tell us they'd love to be in the audience for." Just like the TV show the audience will win prizes and see special guests. We will have all those moments that you've seen on TV over the years. The audience interaction is going to be a vital part of the live show. We are going to send our researchers to the cities beforehand to find out information about people. So yes, if you have bought a ticket, no-one is safe really. Ant and Dec The presenters said: "The audience interaction is going to be a vital part of the live show. Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is produced by ITV Studios and was launched on ITV in 2002. The show ran for nine series before taking a break in 2010, so the presenters could work on other projects. This year it returned for a 10th series with more than eight million people tuning in each week. The show will be a co-production between James Grant Live/Ant & Dec and ITV Studios. Rob Ballantine, from the tour's promoter SJM, said: "After being entertained in their living rooms by Ant and Dec for many years the public can now enjoy a fully live stage show in one of the many arenas around the UK." The comedy duo from Newcastle upon Tyne, first rose to fame as actors on the children's television show Byker Grove. After a brief career as pop stars known as PJ & Duncan, the presenters went on to host TV shows I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, PokerFace, Push the Button, Britain's Got Talent, Red or Black? and Text Santa.
