Discussing tonight's episode of the popular ITV programme, Dec said: “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 added: “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!”
Ant and Dec then went on to talk about clips released on Thursday showing the Saturday Night Takeaway pair being told what to do by celebrities like former This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby.
Dec said it was the most excruciating part of the show and that "the audience will enjoy watching us squirm".
He said: “Everything is supersized for this very special live farewell show – we’ve got three stages, our main studio stage and two new purpose-built-stages outside. I think we might break the record for the amount of celebrities involved in one live TV show.”
