Ant & Dec want fans to be in the final End of the Show Show on Saturday Night Takeaway
You can apply now from your sofa!
Last updated 10th Apr 2024
As we all know by now, the current series of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is going to be the last for a while, with the Geordie duo revealing last year they are putting the iconic entertainment show on a break.
And with just one episode left, it sounds like the boys have some HUGE plans for the final show, which is due to air on Saturday 13th April!
In the extended two-hour finale, Girls Aloud stars Cheryl Tweedy, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Nadine Coyle will feature, as well as Tony Hadley and the Kaiser Chiefs, but Ant and Dec would also like loyal viewers to appear in the final End of The Show Show.
Taking to social media, the post read: 'We want you to feature in our final End of the Show Show next Saturday. Get your groove on at home and send us the footage using the link below'.
The link then directs people to ITV/STV's take part website, which states: 'We always love to make our End of The Show Shows as big as possible and to send this series off in style; we'd love for you to be part of our finale.
'We want you to film some footage of yourself in your living room, as though you are watching the show at home. You can be dancing, swaying along to the music, waving, making hand-heart gestures, or just partying along to the show like we hope you always do on a Saturday night! Dogs, nanas, kids—all welcome!
'The footage will be shown on our studio screens for our last End of The Show Show on Saturday, 13th April, on ITV1 & STV!'.

Ant and Dec revealed back in May last year that the 20th series of Saturday Night Takeaway would be the last for a while.
In a video posted to social media, Ant said: "Hi everyone, we've got some news for you. You see next year, in 2024, it will be our 20th series of Saturday Night Takeaway. And we've got some very special look-backs planned as well as some very exciting new items."
Dec then continued: "And we've also decided that our 20th series next year, will be our last one or a little while. The show takes up such a lot of our year, we just feel we need a bit of a breather and that the show is going to take a little bit of a rest."
In a recent interview with Fault Magazine, the loveable pair opened up further about their reasons for putting the popular show on a hiatus.
Ant, who is reportedly expecting his first child with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, told the publication: "On a more personal level, part of the reason we're pausing Takeaway is we need a break ourselves, and we need to spend some time with our family.
"We've both got children that we need to spend time with for a little bit. We need time to think and, and time to step back and look at the bigger picture and just see where we are now."
The final episode of Saturday Night Takeaway airs at 7pm on Saturday 13th April.
