“We’ve been getting the show together in various circumstances, but we’ve managed to get enough VT stuff to put into the show. We’ve got a series, it will be slightly different but no less fun or entertaining.”
Ant, 45, added: “The good thing about Takeaway is that you can keep it fresh and introduce new things.”
The pair went on to discuss the show’s new format, which includes a virtual audience.
Unlike previous series, Ant and Dec will go live in 300 living rooms across the nation.
