Ahead of the series finale, Donnelly promised it will be a “real celebration of Saturday Night Takeaway over the years”. “We’re honoured and touched that for 20 series it’s been part of Saturday night TV viewing for so many families across the country,” he added. “We’re giving it (and us!) a rest for now, but we’ll take away and treasure some very special memories and moments. We will most certainly miss it.” McPartlin said he could not believe it was nearing the end but that he was looking forward to making the last show “a party to end all parties”.
