It looks like the Donnelly legacy might be hitting the small screen sooner than anyone expected.
Fans went into full sleuth mode this week after photos surfaced of Declan Donnelly’s two young children arriving on what appears to be a secret ITV set in North London — surrounded by crew, cameras, and suspiciously colourful props.
The big question: Are they filming a kid-sized version of Saturday Night Takeaway?
According to insiders, the mystery project — code-named “Little Takeaway” — is in early production stages and is “pure Dec magic,” with miniature games, pint-sized pranks, and special appearances from familiar faces (and puppets).
“It’s part tribute, part chaos — all heart,” one studio source shared. “Declan’s kids are naturals. He’s beaming.”
While no official statement has been released by Donnelly or ITV, fans are buzzing over what this could mean. Social media is already filled with speculation:
-
“Please let this be real. I’d watch it with my kids and without them.”
-
“Mini Takeaway? This might be the most wholesome spin-off ever.”
-
“Dec’s kids hosting? Ant better watch out!”
As of now, neither Dec nor his longtime co-host Ant McPartlin has confirmed the project — but both have been spotted on set in recent days, adding fuel to the fire.
Whether it’s a playful one-off or the start of the next family TV craze, one thing’s clear: the Donnelly dynasty may be just getting started.
