Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly left viewers in tears as they returned to the final series of their show Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend.

They took a look back in time and shared a picture of themselves from the very first series.
They also gave viewers a look at guest commentator Stephen Merchant from the year the show launched.
have said they are taking a break from Saturday Night Takeaway “to spend some time” with their families.
Ant married Anne-Marie Corbett in 2021, while Dec has two children, five-year-old daughter Isla and 18-month-old Jack, with his wife Ali Astall.
The award-winning presenting duo announced last year that they would be stepping away from the show after its 20th season milestone, saying it was the “perfect time to take a little break and catch my breath.”
Speaking to Fault magazine, Ant said: “One of the reasons we're pausing takeaway is because we need a break ourselves and we need to spend some time with our family.”
“We both have kids that we need to spend some time with.”
It has been reported that Ant and Anne-Marie are expecting their first child together.
Anne-Marie also has two teenage daughters from her previous relationship.
Ant and Dec have worked together for more than 30 years, starting on teen drama Byker Grove.
They launched Saturday Night Takeaway in 2002, with the show going on hiatus for a time in 2009 before returning four years later in 2013.
The film received several Bafta and National Television Awards (NTA), including awards for the Geordie duo.
The show consists of a selection of comical games involving a studio audience or unsuspecting audience, with a musical or dance performance at the end.
The pair will continue their collaboration with ITV as presenters of popular shows such as I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Britain's Got Talent and Limitless Win.
As Ant reflected on their next steps, he said: “We need time to reflect and time to step back, look at the bigger picture and just see where we are now.”
“Like I said, we’re turning 49 and what do we want to do next?” What’s the next phase of our career?
“And we have a lot of ideas and a lot of offers on the table, a lot of possibilities of what we can do.” But we're working on what to do next and where the next chapter begins.
“So that's what we're going to do when Saturday Night Takeaway is out of the way.” “We're going to sit down, take some time and evaluate everything again.”
Music mogul Simon Cowell is expected to be the victim of McPartlin and Donnelly's famous undercover prank segment when the show returns on February 24.
In the popular feature, the Geordie duo dress up to prank their famous friends.
