Saturday Night Takeaway: Final episode airs

Tonight’s show marked the end of an era, as Ant and Dec said goodbye to their hit show Saturday Night Takeaway after 20 years.

A whole host of celebrities were there to give the show the send-off it deserved, including Girls Aloud, Alison Hammond, Rylan Clark, Simon Cowell, and more.

Dec was crowned the champion of Ant vs Dec, and a range of celebrities, including Holly Willoughby and Oti Mabuse, got their revenge on the duo in a hilarious edition of Get Out Of Me Ear.

There were plenty of giveaways too, with several viewers and audience members winning holidays and prizes.

However, whilst it was a true celebration, the duo inevitably grew emotional as the end of the show neared.

With minutes to go, Ant and Dec choked back tears as they thanked the audience for supporting them over the years.

Dec was fighting to keep his emotions in check as he confessed they’d only expected to do SNT for a “couple of years”, let alone 20.

As they grew tearful, they then joined McFly to sing a SNT-version of All About You.

The show ended with all the celebrities, including Jordan North, Kasabian, S-Club 7, and Josie Gibson to name a few belting out a rendition of Celebrations.

The show then ended with Ant and Dec waving goodbye to rapturous applause.
