Look at some of the replies to that tweet, good god. It would be commercial suicide for a car company to stand by a convicted drink driver, they had no choice, but people are berating them for dropping him.

I think that's the synopsis of what the show would've been if Ant was there. Note that it says it's episode 6, but it isn't - it's episode 5 now.
What with it being the last SNT at TLS, and if they're going to scrap the titles for the next two show, it would be a nice touch to start with an aerial/exterior shot of the studios.

It looks like it's been amended, as previous episodes have all said "Ant and Dec" in the synopsis. This is the first episode where it's said "Saturday Night Takeaway" instead of "Ant and Dec"
Today’s Daily Star front page is a corker - Gazza has (apparently) offered to come and host with Dec. I wonder if he’ll be bringing his fishing rod or chicken?!
"Granada and ITV fully support Matthew Kelly during this difficult time.
"He has emphatically denied the allegation made against him and no charge has been brought.
"The Stars in their Eyes Celebrity Specials due in the studio this coming week will go ahead, but in the circumstances Davina McCall will act as guest presenter on Matthew's behalf.
"Matthew is grateful to her for agreeing to appear at such short notice."
Mr Kelly said: "I've huge respect for Davina and know she will do a terrific job caretaking the show."
I must admit i don't remember the details of the case, but was it absolutely that obvious that he was innocent? I cannot imagine ITV or any company being that supportive publicly these days. Even if their client was innocent.
