More than 400 people in the studio audience at Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway were handed Tui holidays as the series returned for its 20th anniversary.
The hand-picked audience of deserving individuals, including local community heroes, foster parents and charity fund-raisers, gained ‘Takeaway Getaways’.
More than 200 more breaks will be given away across the seven-week run of the show, including Marella cruises for the first time.
A dedicated team of Tui homeworkers have been deployed to give recommendations and advice, and handle the holiday bookings, with more experts involved this year.
It is the third time that Tui has teamed up with the ITV entertainment show.
The company has taken away more than 450 winners and their guests, with the most popular destinations being Mexico, Dominican Republic, Greece and Egypt, since the first collaboration in 2020.
Bristol-based Leanne Johnson, who heads the team and has been involved in all three collaborations, said: “We’re so excited to be part of this again this year; it’s an absolute joy to connect with the winners, hear their stories and help them find their perfect holiday.
“There’s more choice than ever before with cruises included this series, and it’s our job to guide them through what’s on offer and identify the best getaway for their specific needs.
“Many of us have kept in touch with previous winners, who come back to book their next holidays with us because we’ve got to know them and understand what will work for them.”
Winners and up to three guests can travel from May 2024 until October 2025 for beach holidays and sailings available on specific dates between April 2024 and October 2025.
Tui UK & Ireland managing director Andrew Flintham said: “We’re delighted to be returning as prize partners for this landmark season of Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and offering the biggest audience prize giveaway ever on British TV.
“What a brilliant way to mark 20 seasons of one of the nation’s favourite TV shows.
“Seeing the surprise and delight of the very deserving winners on show one on Saturday was smile inducing, and it’s very special to have been part of that moment. We’ve got an amazing team of travel experts ready to help find them their perfect holiday.”
