Fans will be thrilled to hear that Saturday Night Takeaway is returning to screens next year.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed the big news from Florida’s Universal Orlando Resort tonight after hosting the series’ final episode.
The chaotic grand finale show was packed with hilarious clips and a few hair-raising moments as the biggest Win The Ads jackpot was lost.
However, at the end of the packed show, the duo revealed that Takeaway will return for another series next year.
Ant and Dec also promised that viewers could even win The Ads one more time, as the competition would also be part of their next series.
It’s back! Ant and Dec have confirmed that Saturday Night Takeaway will return next year, after hosting the final installment of the series at the Universal Orlando resort in Florida
Saturday Night Takeaway originally launched in 2002 before taking a four-year hiatus in 2009, and next year’s series will be the show’s 20th.
The show wasn’t all fun and games though, as contestant John sadly lost all prizes on the weekly competition where players can win some huge prizes.
John could win £20,000 and a Caribbean vacation if he could answer which animated film franchise would get a 5th installment.
Viewers were devastated for the contestant with many suggesting it was an easy question as the news had come to light just days before.
One person wrote, “Lord it is absolutely pathetic if they DON’T win the ads. #SaturdayNightTakeaway’
Another said, “It was literally like 3 days ago news. I was like screaming Shrek so much my dog ran out of the room.”
Someone else said “HE LOST THE BIGGEST PROFIT OF ADS THEY HAVE EVER DONE”
While some people were really confused about how John misunderstood the question.

One person wrote, “I’m not insulting him, but how the hell could the guy on Win the Ads on #saturdaynighttakeaway not know about Shrek 5’s existence.”
Another said, “Had a chance to win the biggest ‘Win the ads prize’ draw ever and got the Shrek question wrong…
“How has he not heard that Shrek 5 is in the works?! #SaturdayNightTakeaway’
John looked visibly shaken after realizing he got the answer wrong, while the audience also gasped in shock.
Dec said, ‘John, here’s your make-or-break question, it’s been widely reported this week that a hugely successful animated film franchise is poised for a 5th installment featuring the original voice cast.
“Which one, Shrek or Madagascar?” John replied, “Madagascar.”
Ant revealed it was the wrong answer when Dec buried his head in his hands in disbelief.
