ANT AND DEC’S Saturday Night Takeaway returned to our screens last night after a long winter hiatus.

The first episode saw Ant and Dec prank Olly Murs at Madame Tussauds’ and play superheroes with Dermot O’Leary.

But the show-stealer was The End of the Show Show, when Ed Sheeran performed with the British Royal Marines’ brass band, and er, Ant and Dec–who would not stop the chat.
