Ant and Dec\u2019s Saturday Night Takeaway came to an emotional end on Saturday night, with the hosts saying goodbye to their variety show as they took a break.<\/p>\n

The presenting duo decided to rest Saturday Night Takeaway<\/a> earlier this year, telling fans it felt like the perfect time to rest the series to take a break.<\/p>\n

In a video shared to social media confirming the news, Ant said: \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last night marked the finale episode and the episode smashed ratings on ITV as audiences across the UK tuned in.<\/p>\n

ITV confirmed that the final peaked with 5.3 million viewers. It averaged 4.6 million viewers with a 34 per cent share of viewing up on the 2023 final.<\/p>\n
