SATURDAY Night Takeaway has been nominated for a TV Bafta - just days after Declan Donnelly had to host the show alone.

The show is up for best entertainment programme, alongside Britain's Got Talent and The Voice, also on ITV, and Michael McIntyre's Big Show, on BBC1.

But big BBC1 hit Strictly Come Dancing fails to get a nod.

The nominations are for shows which aired last year, meaning Saturday Night Takeaway is in the running for the series which Ant and Dec hosted together.

Dec is hosting the rest of the current series on his own and last weekend joked he had "twice the amount of work to do".

Ant McPartlin stepped down from his presenting commitments when he was charged with drink-driving last month.

Meanwhile, Denise Richards will take up guest announcing duties for the next episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.

The actress and model will follow in the footsteps of Stephen Merchant, who was guest announcer on last weekend's show.

"The name's Richards, Denise Richards!" the ITV show tweeted.
