Ant & Dec believe The Voice UK takes itself too seriously compared to other Saturday night television programmes.

The TV duo's Saturday Night Takeaway is set to go head-to-head with the return of The Voice UK tonight (March 30) at 7pm.

Speaking to The Sun, Ant McPartlin admitted that he thinks their series has more entertaining qualities than the TV talent show. He said:

"I think it's an easy choice. With Takeaway you know you're going to have a good laugh. But The Voice for me lacks that sense of humour. I think it always has done."

Declan Donnelly added: "I think it's a shame that the audience have been made to choose between the two. With both at 7pm you're forced to watch one and record the other. It's a shame you can't watch one and then the other when they go out. Then you'd have two great shows on a Saturday night."

Ant & Dec meanwhile are currently battling it out for Sunday's (March 31) UK No.1 single as their 1994 PJ & Duncan track 'Let's Get Ready To Rhumble' enjoys a new surge of popularity.
