Ant and Dec will be resting the show after this series, which wraps next week. Speaking about the duo's decision to take a break from the show, Ant explained: "Part of the reason we’re pausing Takeaway is we need a break ourselves, and we need to spend some time with our family. We’ve both got children that we need to spend time with for a little bit." "We need time to think and, and time to step back and look at the bigger picture and just see where we are now. Like I say, we’re turning 49, and what do we want to do next? What’s the next phase of our career?" he added, "And we’ve got lots of ideas and lots of offers on the table, lots of options of things we can do. But it’s working on what we do next and where the next chapter begins. So that’s what we’re gonna do when SNT is out of the way. We’ll sit down, take a bit of time, and re-evaluate everything." Tonight, Take That are set to perform for a special end of the show show, whilst the celebrities will get Ant and Dec back when the roles are reversed for a special version of I'm A Celebrity , Get Out Of My Ear. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat ,
