In a new clip from Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway's comedy drama sketch The Missing Crown Jewels, Ant and Dec are introduced to their 'support team' as they attempt to track down the Crown Jewels, which is made up of Britain's most loved celebrities including Carol Vorderman, Jessica Ennis, Dame Shirley Bassey, Alan Shearer and Alan Titchmarsh. However, it is revealed that as part of a top secret operation, the group have been given odd code names that leave Ant and Dec more than a little bemused. Hilarity ensues when it is revealed that the celebrities have been given 'letter' code names, leading to plenty of confusion between the group, which gets even better when Ian 'H' Watkins tries to join the group after running late.

The pair returned with their hit show in late February with the help of Scarlett Moffatt, who made her debut appearance on the show while trying to find a couple to fly to the studio to get the 'best seats in the house'. However, things went wrong for the star when she couldn't find a single person waving in their windows as instructed, and so ended up knocking on a door in the hopes that they were watching the show.
