Ant McPartlin will feature in this weekend’s Saturday Night Takeaway – in a sketch which was pre-recorded for the TV show. Entitled Saturday Knight Takeaway, it also stars Michael Sheen, David Walliams, Joanna Lumley and Emilia Fox. Last weekend’s ITV show was postponed and co-host McPartlin, 42, has been charged with drink-driving and returned to rehab. The Sun said there were talks on whether the pre-recorded whodunnit sketch should continue when Saturday Night Takeaway returns this weekend. But it was decided that the final two instalments – previous episodes aired earlier in the hit series – should be broadcast.
