Saturday Night Takeaway is set to leave fans in tears this weekend.
Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelley have made the decision to rest their ITV show after presenting 20 series over 22 years. However, the Geordie duo have confirmed that viewers will not be left disappointed by what they have in store for Saturday’s (April 13) two-hour long live finale.
Simon Cowell, Davina McCall, Rylan Clark, Oti Mabuse, Amanda Holden, Dermot O’Leary, Craig David and Girls Aloud are just some guests who will be included in the big send-off but is it really the end?

In a new interview, Ant said: “I don’t want to give away too much but it will be a big goodbye.” However, Dec cryptically added: “for now” hinting that the programme may not be away from our screens for as long as fans may think.

Speaking ahead of the last show, Dec added: “It’s been mixed emotions all week as we’ve been planning and rehearsing this final show. Saturday Night Takeaway is very special to us. We’ve made this two-hour finale show a real celebration of all things SNT from over the years.”
Ant said: “I can’t quite believe it will be the last show, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed making this final series. I know it’ll be an emotional night but we intend to give Takeaway viewers a party to end all parties.”

In the episode, Holly Willoughby will get her own back on Ant and Dec. They will get a taste of their own medicine when celebrities get the chance to play a prank on them in a restaurant. Holly and Rylan Clark embarrass the presenters as they tell them instructions through an earpiece. Holly tells Dec: “Now you see that waiter, just go and say to them, erm ‘where can I find the toilets? Because I need a poo poo!”

She then added: “Lots of straining noises. ‘I need to go now!'” Dec could then be seen repeating Holly’s words to the waiter in the hilarious scene. In 2023 Ant and Dec, both 48, announced they were resting Saturday Night Takeaway after the 20th series they will continue hosting I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Britain’s Got Talent and Limitless Win.
