While Ant and Dec were forced to take a few nights off from entertaining the nation, the show returned and is now in its final week already.

There were originally a dozen contestants, but GMB host Richard Madeley was forced to exit the show after being taken to hospital with dehydration. He has since said he was hopeful he could return to the show after a clean bill of health, but was unable to due to breaking the strict Covid bubble.
