ITV ARE planning a huge send off for Saturday Night Takeaway with a massive movie-length finale.
The broadcaster has revealed its schedules for the last ever episode after 20 series on air.
Last year Ant and Dec revealed in The Sun how they were bringing the beloved entertainment show to an end.
With the Geordie duo pulling out all the stops to this year’s Saturday Night Takeaway the best yet, details of its final instalment have been confirmed.
Expectant dad Ant and dad-of-one Dec, both 48, will bow out in a massive two-hour long episode.
It will air from 7pm on Saturday, April 13th across ITV1 and ITVX.
Last week’s episode of the star-studded series featured names like Emma and Matt Willis, Sam Thompson, Josie Gibson, Jordan North, and JLS.
It also featured a throwback clip of Ant and Dec on their first ever episode as they brought back a segment called ‘Home Run’.
But the presenting pair caught viewers off guard as they reminded their fans that there are only two shows left of the current series.
It led to an avalanche of gutted fans taking to social media to share how much they’d miss Saturday Night Takeaway.
The show first launched all the way back in 2002 before it was shelved in 2009.
Ant and Dec revived and revamped the show in 2013 and it’s been a staple of ITV’s Saturday offering ever since.
Speaking last year about resting the Bafta-winning format, Ant said: “We love making Saturday Night Takeaway, but reaching the milestone of 20 series seemed like the perfect time to pause for a little while and catch our breath.”
Dec added: “We still have a momentous 20th series to look forward to first so we will do our best to go out (for now) with a bang in 2024.”
They added: “The show takes up such a lot of our year. We just feel we need a little bit of a breather.”
