Saturday Night Takeaway has been on our televisions for nearly two decades and never fails to deliver a good chuckle.
The ITV variety programme has served up a mix of live and pre-recorded entertainment and quiz parts since its inception in 2002.
It has won multiple honours, including Most Popular Entertainment Programme at the National Television Awards and BAFTA for Entertainment Programme in 2013.
Long-time hosts Anthony McPhartlin and Declan Donnelly have also received several nominations for their work on the show.
Although there was a four-year gap between 2009 and 2013 as the presenters focused on other projects, the show eventually returned, much to the delight of long-time listeners.
It was revealed this week that the nineteenth season would resume next week, with new and exclusive features, live surprises, famous guests, old favourites, and spectacular stunts.
But when does it begin, what can we expect, and where can people get tickets?
When is Saturday Night Takeaway back in 2023?

Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway returns live to ITV1 and ITVX on Saturday February 25 for what ITV has promised will be the ‘happiest ninety minutes of the week’.
This time around we’ve already been teased with plenty of information about some of the fun things in store.
Some of the UK’s biggest celebrities will feature this year, with Joe Wicks and Claudia Winkleman starring in brand new and hilarious editions of I’m A Celebrity…Get Out Of Me Ear! and Alison Hammond and Rylan as the next unwitting victims of their very own Undercovers.
Viewer favourites including Ring My Bell, Singalong Live and Win the Ads are back, while there are some fantastic End of the Show Shows planned throughout the season.
A new (and massive) audience gift for 2023 will also be unveiled live on TV at the premiere.
Murder At Bigwig Manor, a mystery whodunit, will also be released as a new mini-series.
Davina McCall, Joel Dommett, Dermot O’Leary, Keith Lemon, AJ Odudu, Judi Love, and Stephanie Cole make guest appearances as the Head of ITV.
Stephen Mulhern, Fleur East, Jordan North, and Andi Peters are all back, with Stephen putting the guys through a fresh series of high-octane Ant versus Dec tasks.
Where is it filmed?

Each programme includes live and pre-recorded elements, with the live show shot at Studio TC1 at the Television Centre in West London.
Other prominent shows taped there include The Graham Norton Show, The Jonathan Ross Show, Loose Women, and This Morning.
