Fans think they know who’s being lined-up to replace Ant after Saturday Night Takeaway last night

Could it be?

Fans think Davina McCall is being lined up to replace Ant McPartlin after her appearance on Saturday Night Takeaway yesterday. Davina appeared alongside Dec for a segment called 'This Time Next Takeaway'. The segment saw Declan surprise a woman named Diana with a load of treats from her family and it went down well with viewers. Following the 50-year-old, former Big Brother presenter's appearance, fans took to social media to voice their approval of her taking on a more long-term role on the show.

One fan tweeted: "It’s Davina and Decs #saturdaynighttakeaway by the look of things!'; '@antanddec @ThisisDavina Dec and Davina I’m in tears'; 'Ah yes, I love that show called Davina and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway'; '#SaturdayNightTakeaway so its Dec and Davina (oh Ant)."

Another added: "Great show Dec! Of course Ant was missed and wish him well soon… but you done great… perhaps @ThisisDavina could stand in, it could be Dav & Dec #dav&dec."

The speculation comes after Dec Donnelly posted a heartfelt message to fans after his first Saturday Night Takeaway show without long-term co-presenter Ant McPartlin. https://twitter.com/antanddec/status/980216439478128641 Writing via the Ant and Dec Twitter page, he said: "Thanks for all your lovely messages tonight, they are VERY much appreciated, I’m glad you enjoyed the show. I didn’t sleep an awful lot last night so I’m off to bed! Night y’all. D x"
