Saturday Night Takeaway 2018

Without fully understanding the details, it makes it difficult to get an overall picture of the situation. At this point, I expect that Ant and ITV may issue a statement in regards to the matter within the next couple of days. In terms of SNT, I think it is highly unlikely that Dec would present the show by himself (without Ant). It's difficult to know (giving the current information we have) whether SNT will go ahead with both of them this weekend. There is a chance that this weeks show may be cancelled, but I would expect that the rest of the series (after this week) would continue unaffected.

I also don't really think that BGT and I'm a Celebrity will be impacted significantly.

I might be being optimistic, but many of the posts on here seem to be suggesting that drastic action will be taken in regards to Ant which I think is unlikely. While drink driving is completely wrong, and I'm certainly not condoning it, no-one appears to have been badly injured and I think that this is the type of thing that will all blow over quite quickly. Ant is clearly going through a tough period and I really believe that support is what he needs to get through it.

From ITV's point of view, they are two of the nations best-loved presenters and they present some of their biggest shows so this is one of the main reasons that I think that they would remain largely unaffected. So long as they have support from the public I can see them continuing to present SNT, I'm a Celeb and BGT - I for one know I'd miss not having both of them presenting it!

If Ant does not return for the rest of the series we could also see the Ant vs Dec segment dropped while it was tied at 1-1

Personally, I don't think Dec will host without Ant, and if the show goes ahead it'll either be Ant & Dec hosting or guest hosts.

I think it could be guest host that was suppose to be the guest Announcer.

Alan Carr is due to be the guest announcer this week, so not the craziest idea ever.

Realistically, I can only envision this week's showed being pulled. It's easy to forget that they're best friends off screen and Dec most likely won't feel comfortable presenting an upbeat show without his partner with him. He'll be too wrapped up in helping him get through what's happened. Opting for guest hosts would just make the show uncomfortable. The show belongs to them, and watching somebody else try and take control just won't work. Emma Willis struggled hosting just the Ant v Dec challenge, and Scarlett just gets in a flap whenever she's told to do something on the fly.

Apparently Phil and Holly were getting a bit of stick for not addressing the news, which makes me think ITV are going to try their best to ignore the news and not draw attention to it, which makes me think the show will just get pulled for however long they decide.

That's who I was trying to remember that was to be the guest announcer this weekend
