WARRINGTON’s appearance on Saturday Night Takeaway has been postponed after presenter Ant McPartlin was arrested for drink driving.

Ant and Dec’s hit ITV show was set to feature a segment filmed in the town this weekend, on Saturday, March 24.

But no episode of Saturday Night Takeaway will be screened this weekend after star Ant McPartlin was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

The 42-year-old was detained by police following a crash involving three vehicles in south west London on Sunday afternoon.

A three-year-old girl was taken to hospital for treatment following the incident, according to reports.

Co-presenter Stephen Mulhern was spotted filming in Warrington for the In for a Penny segment of the hit ITV show around the town centre in November.

And this Saturday’s episode would have shown residents taking on tasks including attempting to blow up a balloon by bouncing up and down on a foot pump as well as trying to remember the last text they received in order to win £1,000.

Mulhern, the star of shows including Catchphrase and Britain’s Got More Talent, was seen in the company of a giant chicken and posing for selfies with fans at Market Gate as well as in the Old Market Place and Golden Square Shopping Centre.
