Ant and Dec have spoken out previously about their enthusiasm for Saturday morning TV, revealing they'd love to see the children's show format make a comeback.
"We feel passionately that those kind of Saturday morning TV shows on terrestrial telly are important to kids, as important now as when we were growing up," Ant McPartlin told Metro.
"It’s where you see your music, it’s where you see all your cultural references, it’s where you are informed about what other kids like to watch and see and so you feel like you should become a fan too. It would be great if somebody bucked the trend of cooking shows."
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX.
