ITV have confirmed that there'll be no Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend.

It means we'll have to do without Ant and Dec on Saturday night, as they hinted on the show last week.

It's nothing to do with the presenting pair but is actually to with an epic weekend of sport.

"Remember there's no show this weekend as we pass Saturday night over to the rugby. But they're only borrowing it! We'll be keeping your Takeaway warm until it all kicks off again in studio next Saturday 26th March," the duo said on social media this week.

But what do you think - are you happy to skip a week of Ant and Dec for big events like these, or would you rather Ant and Dec stayed where they belong?

On Saturday night it's a crucial round of the Six Nations.

Scotland face Ireland at 4:45pm and then England play France from 8:00pm and both matches are being shown on ITV1.

That means that the matches will cover the slot usually reserved for big moments like the Happiest Minute of the Week.

Don't worry though - Ant and Dec will be back the weekend after.

Sport will also be affecting Dancing On Ice this weekend.

That's after it was announced last week that the DOI final has been postponed for a week as ITV1 is showing an FA Cup match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forrest.
