ITV has revealed what changes it's making to its Saturday night TV schedule in the wake of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway not airing this weekend.
The variety show, starring the ever-popular Geordie duo, is having at least a week off due to Ant McPartlin returning to rehab following his arrest on suspicion of drink driving.
The broadcaster has announced that The Voice UK will now take Saturday Night Takeaway's slot on March 24, moving down to 7pm from its original time of 8.30pm.

ITV will then fill The Voice UK's original slot with a repeat of Keith Lemon's Through the Keyhole, which will begin after the singing competition finishes at 9pm.
The ITV News also moves up to 10pm, with Fast & Furious 5 following at 10.15pm.
The decision not to air Saturday Night Takeaway this week was made as a joint decision between Ant & Dec's team and ITV, after the presenter asked for some time off following his personal struggles.
Regarding the other two planned episodes of the current run, the network said: "We will be reviewing options for the last two episodes of the series, which would not feature Ant, who is taking time off to seek treatment.
"We very much hope that he gets the help that he needs."
