ITV has commissioned a one-off documentary about the making of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
A separate film crew will document proceedings behind the scenes of the hugely-popular entertainment show, which returns for its 19th series next weekend.
The one-hour show, Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway: Behind the Screens, will be filmed over the course of the entire series and will air on ITV1 and ITVX later this year.
"We are really excited to lift the curtain a little on Saturday Night Takeaway," said Ant. "We'll have footage of all the ups and downs, the last-minute dramas that come with making a weekly live entertainment show. Believe me there are lots of dramas that happen behind the scenes."
Dec added: "We love watching fly on the wall shows like Drive To Survive which goes behind the scenes of F1 so thought it could be really fun to allow the cameras to see how we make Saturday Night Takeaway.
"I'd love to see Behind The Screens on more entertainment shows."
The new series of Saturday Night Takeaway begins this Saturday, February 25 at 7pm on ITV1.
