Ant and Dec want ‘Saturday Night Takeaway’ to get the "biggest send-off" when it comes to an end next year.
Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly want ‘Saturday Night Takeaway’ to have the biggest send-off
The TV hosts - who won the Best TV Presenter award for a record 22nd time at the National Television Awards on Tuesday (05.09.23) - front the hit variety show and announced earlier in May that the 19th series would be their last.
Ant McPartlin, 47, told Digital Spy: "We want it to be the biggest send-off because we're resting it for a while.
"So everybody that we haven't managed to get on in the last few years, we're gonna try our hardest to get on.
"It's going to be a massive celebration of the last 20 years as well, because it's been running for 20 years, so we're gonna bring old things back, we've got brand-new stuff, we've got lots of things planned and we're gonna have a lot of fun doing it.
"We love it. It's gonna be sad, but we're gonna have fun until we get to the final episode."
Not giving too much away Dec Donnelly teased the final season would host a lot of celebrities who previously turned down coming on the show.
Dec, 47, added: "A lot of the time it's not just because they don't wanna do the show – it's diaries, it's stuff like that, so we've gone very, very early this year with a lot of people.
"We've put a lot of calls out.
"A lot of people said yes, which is very good. It's gonna be a huge celebration, of not just the 20 series but also brand-new stuff, we wanna go out on a high."
'Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway' returns for its 20th and final series next year.
