The tenth series aired during early Spring 2013, having returned from a four-year break, running for seven episodes from 23 February to 6 April, and averaging around 7.82 million viewers. For this series, the show's format removed a number of previous segments, while reviving three segments used in past series - "Ant & Dec Undercover"; "Little Ant & Dec", featuring two new young look-alikes of the presenters; and game "Win the Ads", with a revamped format. This series saw the introduction of two new segments for the show - "I'm a Celebrity... Get Out of My Ear!", and the musical act ""End of the Show"-Show". Sponsorship: Morrisons.
For this series' contest between the presenters, retained when Saturday Night Takeaway returned from its break, the format dropped the use of teams, and incorporated an element of the format from "What's Next", in that the presenters competed against each in games they had no idea about and thus had no rehearsal or practice time to prepare for. The segment was now presented by American singer Ashley Roberts, replacing Gallacher, was aired in only five episodes of the series, and ended with Ant winning the contest for the first time, on a score of 3–2.

### Series 13 (2016)

The thirteenth series aired during early Spring 2016, running for seven episodes from 20 February to 2 April, and averaging around 7.78 million viewers; both the fifth and sixth episodes were aired earlier than scheduled to avoid clashing with live coverage of two major sporting events after each respective episode, one of which was a Six Nations Championship match. This series is notable for two elements in its broadcast. The first was that its series finale took place outside the United Kingdom, on the MV Britannia, while it was berthed in Barcelona - tickets for places on the cruise ship were offered during the other episodes as prizes, courtesy of the ship's operator P&O Cruises with tickets. The second was that it featured a live wedding in the sixth episode, between a couple who had written to the production team asking if they could be married on the programme.
The series introduced two new segments. The first, entitled "Best Seats in the House", offered places in the studio audience for the next episode, in a specially marked "VIP" section, with the exception of the first episode were the seats were given to selected members of the audience; for the penultimate episode, the viewers were given tickets for the cruise ship. The second involved a mini-serial "whodunit" comedy drama written by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall entitled "Who Shot Simon Cowell?" starring, Ant & Dec starred alongside Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, David Walliams, Piers Morgan, Olly Murs, the late Caroline Flack and Pudsey the Dog as themselves, and Kevin Whately and Emilia Fox as their respective characters from Lewis and Silent Witness. The mini-serial was later condensed into a single episode that was broadcast on 30 December 2017. Amongst the other segments for the show, the game "Win the Ads" received a minor change in its format, reducing the number of prizes that contestants could win in total, while final episode saw the game having the contestant chosen in the final episode was from those on the cruise ship, excluding anyone who won their place via ticket giveaway, and focusing on questions associated with being at sea.
Apart from the mini-serial, this series featured guest appearances by Kym Marsh, Jane Danson, Sally Dynevor, Shayne Ward, Jack P. Shepherd, Leona Lewis, Bring Me the Horizon and Fleur East, along with appearances by YouTubers Alfie Deyes and Marcus Butler. The series also featured opening performances by Bryan Adams, Jess Glynne, Craig David and Katherine Jenkins, while "Singalong Live" featured appearances by Wet Wet Wet, Bryan Adams, Anastacia, and Peter Andre. For this series' contest between the presenters, the segment was hosted by Stephen Mulhern, replacing Roberts who took to hosting the segment "Best Seats", and was won by Dec with a score of 4–1.

### Series 14 (2017)

The fourteenth series was aired during early Spring 2017, running for seven episodes from 25 February to 8 April, and averaging around 8.02 million viewers; the fourth episode (18 March) was broadcast later than scheduled to avoid clashing with live coverage of a Six Nations Championship match, and ran for just 60 minutes as opposed to the usual 90 minutes. Like the previous series, the final episode took place outside of the United Kingdom, being broadcast live from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, with tickets for places in that episode's audience being offered throughout the series. This series saw the introduction of two short-lived segments - "Make 'Em Laugh" and "In For A Penny" - while the segment "Best Seat in the House" was presented by Scarlett Moffatt, after Roberts opted to not return to the show for a new series, and the stars of "Little Ant & Dec" now featured across the show and online, rather than in a dedicated segment. The game segment "Win the Ads" was also modified in this series, with it now featuring a viewer competition, in which those taking part competed against each other answered the same questions for a chance to win £1,000; in the fourth and sixth episode, technical difficulties prevented the competition from being used.
Like the previous series, a new mini-serial comedy drama was shown during this series broadcast, entitled "The Missing Crown Jewels", the boys starred in it alongside, Emilia Fox, Joanna Lumley, Cat Deeley, Aled Jones, Alan Titchmarsh, Gareth Malone, Martin Lewis, Clare Balding, Carol Vorderman, Shirley Bassey, Ian "H" Watkins, Alan Shearer, Jessica Ennis-Hill, and Michael Sheen, and which was later condensed into a single episode on 23 December 2017. Alfie Deyes & Marcus Butler didn't return after 1 series. This series also saw the introduction on an online game called "Ant & Dec vs. YouTubers", in which the presenters took on a pair of YouTubers on Wednesday during the series' broadcast, with filmed clips placed on the show's official YouTube channel.
Apart from the mini-serial, this series featured opening performances in a number of episodes by Robbie Williams, Kaiser Chiefs, Take That, Louisa Johnson, with the exception of the final episode in which the presenters performed a special rendition of the song Be Our Guest. For "Singalong Live", it featured performances by Steps, Louisa Johnson, CeeLo Green, and was unique for a number of factors: one of the contestants who took part was Freddie Flintoff, the episode's celebrity announcer, who was tasked with playing along in the game, with his success winning everyone in the studio audience tickets to the Steps' comeback tour; for the sixth episode, the song used was "Let It Go", as a prize of a "Place on the Plane" for the series finale at Walt Disney World the following week was on offer in addition to the usual £500. This series' contest between the presenter was won by Ant with a score of 3–1. Sponsorship: Suzuki.

### Series 15 (2018)

The fifteenth series was aired in early Spring 2018, running for a short total of six episodes from 24 February to 7 April, and averaging around 8.43 million viewers. Like the previous series, the series finale took place outside of the UK at Universal Orlando Resort with tickets for places in this episode offered through the series, while it was the last series to be broadcast live from London Studios before its closure for redevelopment later in the year. This series saw "Little Ant & Dec" discontinued, owing to the production team deciding that the young actors for this segment had outgrown their roles and thus should be allowed to focus on their education, while "Ant & Dec Undercover" was restricted to just one episode, owing to the massive and complex amount of preparation done to film the segment. This series aired its 100th episode, which celebrated this milestone by featuring highlights from the last 99 episodes of Saturday Night Takeaway, along with a one-off revival of the segment "Home-Run", and a special edition of "Win the Ads", hosted by Emma Willis, in which the presenters tackled the game themselves on behalf of a studio audience member randomly chosen before the episode's broadcast.
As like the previous series, it features a mini-serial comedy drama entitled "Saturday Knight Takeaway", to be aired during the series' broadcast. The mini-serial features a large cast of celebrities: Ant & Dec, Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield, David Walliams, Katie Price, Emilia Fox, Joanna Lumley, Aled Jones, Alan Titchmarsh, Gareth Malone, Martin Lewis, Clare Balding, Carol Vorderman, Shirley Bassey, Ian "H" Watkins, Alan Shearer, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Michael Sheen and Noel Edmonds. Apart from the mini-serial, the series featured opening performances from Kylie Minogue, George Ezra, Paloma Faith, as well as a special rendition of Everybody Needs Somebody to Love for the series finale. For "Singalong Live", it featured performances by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Script, and The Rembrandts.
This series is notable for being affected greatly by the absence of Anthony McPartlin following the fourth episode, after he was involved in a traffic accident on 18 March 2018, connected to drink-driving, which led to him suspending further presenting duties the following day for the rest of the series and other programmes. As a direct result, it led to an episode that was planned for the 24 March 2018 to be cancelled by ITV, and the discontinuation of "Ant vs. Dec" for the rest of the series after two challenges. However, its most significant impact, was that it led to Declan Donnelly hosting the remaining two episodes by himself, the first time he had presented a programme in 30 years without McPartlin, with his co-presenters Stephen Mulhern and Scarlett Moffatt receiving expanded roles in these episodes. Although absent, McPartlin appeared in these episodes but solely within the pre-recorded editions of the mini-serial "Saturday Knight Takeaway". The decision to continue the series after the incident had occurred was primarily down to the presenters and the production team choosing not to cancel tickets made out to people who had secured a place within the audience for the series finale in Florida.

### Series 16 (2020)

The sixteenth series of Saturday Night Takeaway returned on 22 February 2020 on ITV and was the first series to see the return of Anthony McPartlin hosting alongside Declan Donnelly following his absence from the previous series' last two episodes in which Donnelly hosted solely. It was also the first to be broadcast from their new home at Television Centre, London following the closure of The London Studios in 2018. Stephen Mulhern returned to host the Ant vs. Dec segment, which for this series had a "global" theme to all of the challenges. However, Scarlett Moffatt did not return to the show as she left to focus on other TV projects. Andi Peters and Fleur East joined this series to present the competition and part of the Place on the Plane giveaway, respectively.
This series saw a new mini-serial entitled Men in Brown starring Ant & Dec still serving as undercover agents for The Honoured and tasked with saving the world from an alien invasion. Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, Emily Atack, Amanda Holden, Amber Gill, Simon Cowell, Richard Ayoade, Paul Hollywood (as The Host), Paddy McGuinness, and Hugh Bonneville (replacing Joanna Lumley as the head of The Honoured) guest starred in the mini-serial.
Another new segment called Don't Feed the Pandas, involved Ant & Dec dressing up in realistic prosthetic panda costumes in an attempt to fool school kids at London Zoo. Other features returning from the previous series include I'm a Celebrity...Get Out of Me Ear!, Singalong Live and Undercover. Win the Ads also returned with a minor tweak in its format, the viewers competition used in the previous two series was discontinued and instead, one of the 16 prizes on the boýard would be won not just by the contestant but for the entire studio audience (studio crew in the fifth episode) as well.
The first I'm a Celebrity...Get Out of Me Ear! of the series was with American actor Mark Wahlberg at his London restaurant where he pranked members of the public with the help of Ant & Dec talking into an ear piece. The first show marked the return of Ashley Roberts with The Pussycat Dolls to the show she left after Series 13 in 2016. The second I'm a Celebrity...Get Out of Me Ear! was with British Boxer and "Heavyweight Champion of the World" Anthony Joshua at his local boxing club where pranked three members of the public by saying that they were going to be his personal chief with the help of Ant & Dec talking into an ear piece. The third I'm a Celebrity...Get Out of Me Ear! was with British singer-songwriter and DJ Craig David.
Andi Peters presented the competition segment, which in the first episode was live from Bermuda, Nuneaton, the second episode was live from New York in Newcastle and the fourth episode was live from Melbourne, Derbyshire. He was in the studio for episode five. In the second episode, Fleur East gave some tickets for a Place on the Plane to a winning family in Bristol and in the fourth episode Fleur East visited Kingston upon Hull where the family who guessed the restaurant correctly (which was Papas Fish and Chips shop in Kingston upon Hull) won another Place on the Plane.
The Place on the Plane giveaway was again announced on the first show of the series, with the series finale location revealed as Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida for the second time (having previously hosted the series finale in Series 14). It was also confirmed it would be the largest ever giveaway by a British television programme with 300 guests being invited to be the audience for the show. This was done in partnership with Virgin Atlantic. However, on 13 March, it was announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic that the finale would be cancelled and the ticket holders instead enjoyed a 5-star hotel stay at the park at a later date.
Following viewer complaints about the 14 March episode still having a live audience despite the pandemic and the Prime Minister Boris Johnson advising against all mass gatherings in an effort to slow down the spread, ITV confirmed on 17 March that the remaining episodes of the series would be produced without a live audience, with a reduced production crew, and a shorter 60-minute running time for the last two episodes. It was later revealed on Twitter that the last two episodes would be hosted live from Ant & Dec's living rooms, in the form of a video call with each other, and contain pre-recorded content, shortly after the UK was put into lockdown.

### Series 17 (2021)

The seventeenth series of Saturday Night Takeaway returned on 20 February 2021. For the first time in the show's history, due to COVID-19 regime, a virtual audience wall was used and included interactive features such as live polling. I'm a Celebrity...Get Out of Me Ear! and Ant v Dec were amongst the series' returning features 1, alongside a new mini-series entitled 'Double Trouble' and the weekly 'Takeaway Rainbow,' during which viewers were encouraged to look out of their window to find a rainbow light display projected in one area of the country and to message the show on if they could see the rainbow. A random winner living in the area where the rainbow was that week would then receive Takeaway Getaway tickets by Fleur East. Locations included: Aintree, Kent, Chepstow, Portsmouth & Peterborough.
A new segment for this series was “On Air Dares” in where Stephen Mulhern set various challenges to the presenters of ITV Daytime programmes: Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning & Loose Women. Challenges presented by Stephen in the studio via a card involved saying or doing a particular task live on TV e.g. pretending to have a cramp, saying words like “totes emosh”, pretending to see a spider in the studio etc. This Morning were declared winners since they completed the most dares.
Also due to the COVID-19 regime the series finale will be live at the Television Centre, London and the main 'Happiest Minute' and series giveaway was changed to reflect this. Now called the 'Takeaway Getaway,' winners are given the opportunity to take an all-inclusive holiday anytime up to April 2023 courtesy of TUI. Sponsorship: National Lottery
