Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’s new series is back and if you’d like to take part then look no further.
ITV confirmed recently that the TV presenters would be taking a break after the 2024 series.
The duo said reaching the “milestone” of 20 series seemed like the “perfect time to pause for a little while and catch our breath”.
It’s not the first time the show has taken a pause though as it happened in 2009 before it returned again in 2013.

The pair said they were taking “a breather” from the show, which “takes up such a lot of our year”.
“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,” McPartlin said.
Donnelly said: “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.”
The pair also promised “some very special look-backs” and “exciting new items” for the 20th series.
If you’re interested in being on the final series before the break, here’s how you can apply.
How to apply to be on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway
If you’d like to join Ant and Dec or know someone who you’d like to nominate to appear on the show, here’s how you can.

ITV urges applicants to also upload a video to support their application.
The closing date is Friday, April 12 and all applicants must be aged 18 or over.
However, if you’re nominating someone and you’re under 18, you will need to ask a parent or guardian who is over 18 to fill out the entry form for you. The person you’re nominating must be at least five years old.

Win the Ads is a popular section of the ITV show which gives members of the public an opportunity to win some big prizes, including holidays, cars and more.

If they can answer correctly, they get to blindly choose a number that has a prize behind it.
They must then decide whether to try to answer the final question – if they guess it right, they win everything even if they didn’t win it previously but if they answer it incorrectly, they don’t take any prizes home.
The deadline for applying for Win the Ads is also Friday, April 12 and applicants must be aged 18 or above.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
