Newly crowned double BAFTA Award winners Ant and Dec will be taking their prime time award winning ITV show Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway on a UK arena tour this summer and have confirmed special guests and details of their spectacular live show.

Former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts will be joining Ant and Dec on the road, resuming her role as the host of Ant v Dec, as well as appearing throughout the show and performing a track from her brand new album.

Also joining the tour is the renowned RIVERDANCE. Twenty years after it was introduced to the world, Irish dance phenomenon RIVERDANCE will be treating each city to a spectacular showcase. And expect to see Ant and Dec singing and dancing in some very special performances of their own in the End of The Show Show.

Ant and Dec will also be joined on the road by various celebrity guests, who will take on the live role of Star Guest Announcer. Watch this space for celebrity guest names.

Takeaway on Tour wouldn’t be the same without audience participation and there are loads of prizes for the audience to win! As part of Win The Ads one lucky audience member will have the chance to win a whole host of prizes including a BRAND NEW SUZUKI SWIFT CAR and FIRST CHOICE ALL INCLUSIVE HOLIDAY at every single show.*(age and other restrictions apply, full terms and conditions see itv.com/takeawayontour)*.

As viewers of Saturday Night Takeaway will know, no audience member will be safe so whether you’re sat in the front row or at the back, Ant and Dec could be turning the cameras on you, or even bringing you up on stage! Just like they do on the TV show, Ant and Dec will be finding out everything about our audience members before they come to the show!

In addition, Ant and Dec will be going head to head in every show, in live Ant vs Dec challenges with Ashley Roberts presiding over events.

Last but not least, the show wouldn’t be the same without the cheeky monkeys Little Ant and Dec who are currently busy preparing something very special for the tour.

This will be the ultimate interactive stage show for all the family and is not to be missed. Ant & Dec said: “Takeaway is the one show that people always tell us they'd love to be in the audience for, so we've decided to take the show to them! Just like the TV show the audience will have a chance of winning some fantastic prizes as well as being an essential part of the show. It's been an ambition of ours for a long time to go on tour and we can't wait to hit the road!”

Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway is produced by ITV Studios and was launched on ITV in 2002 with a whole host of crazy pranks, mind-boggling challenges and fantastic competitions. The series has gone from strength to strength, running for nine series and picking up every award going. In 2013 the show returned for its 10th series to hit ratings and multiple accolades.

Ant and Dec and their shows have won a staggering 26 National Television Awards (including Most Popular Entertainment Presenters for the last thirteen years in a row and the Landmark award at this year’s ceremony commemorating 25 years on our screens), six British Comedy Awards, 3 BAFTA’s (including Best Entertainment Performance and Entertainment Programme for Saturday Night Takeaway at this year’s ceremony) and a variety of other industry accolades including 3 TV Choice awards.
