Saturday Night Takeaway 2021

I'm wondering whether they will bring back Chums to replace the new sketches they have done in recent years.

There's alot they "might" do when they have a new series to promote.

Apparently there's a technical rehearsal tonight, so there may be information regarding the show available soon.

Here's an Instagram photo of the set. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLbOXzkDyiX/

Same set as last time then.

Can't see if they have a full audience platform in place

Only you seems to think they'd put out seating for an audience that can't attend.

Here's another view showing the audience wall... https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcu95ih1hQ/

Kenetic Pixel running the audience videowall software and screens then..

Not sure why Ant and Dec are the only presenters on live TV who get to bubble. Made sense for I'm a Celeb filmed in a bubble, as indeed was BGT, but a bit different for a weekly show - and means if they lose one they lose them both.

I’m sure forming a bubble is open to any pair of presenters, but Ant & Dec are the only ones who have chosen to do so.

If you missed it on This Morning, they showed you the virtual audience, etc:

Want a sneak peek at the brand-new @itvtakeaway set?👀

Well @antanddec are happy to help ahead of the new series starting this weekend! 👇https://t.co/9e1SZhOkRT
