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.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
