The duo have confirmed they will end their run - at least for the time being - on series 20 and promise to make it one to remember. The light entertainment show has been on screens since 2002.
In a video, Ant said: "We love making Saturday Night Takeaway, but reaching the milestone of 20 series seemed like the perfect time to pause for a little while and catch our breath.”
Dec added: "We still have a momentous 20th series to look forward to first so we will do our best to go out (for now) with a bang in 2024."
Thankfully, the pair will be back on our screens on Friday (May 19) on ITV1 to share unseen clips from the I’m A Celebrity South Africa series after Myleene Klass was crowned the first All Stars legend.
