Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have given us a Sneak a peek at the final Saturday Night Takeaway before they take a break.
The I’m A Celebrity hosts have been in charge of the ITV variety programme since June 2002, but they indicated earlier this year that the forthcoming season will be their “final one for a some while.”
‘The show takes up such a lot of our year we just feel we need a little bit of a breather and that the show is going to take a little bit of a rest,’ they’d said.
But, before they take a well-deserved vacation, the Geordie couple have offered us a behind-the-scenes look at season 20.
‘Series 20 is officially in the making,’ they stated with a photo of the ITV staff with a whiteboard in the backdrop and a billboard for the iconic programme shown on a screen.

Fans were over the moon at the update, with one writing: ‘Wahoooo I can’t wait I’m so excited for it! Xxx.’
Another penned: ‘I can’t wait!!! Although sad it’s the last one for a while.’
Others put in requests for guests, with one suggesting Take That being pranked.
In a statement in May, Dec, 47, explained they had decided the 20th series, due to air next year, will be their ‘last one for a little while.’
Ant, 46, added: ‘We 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.’
The show previously paused in 2009 before resuming four years later in 2013.
The most recent season of the popular programme ended in April, and a slew of lucky prize winners jetted over to Florida to wreak mayhem at amusement park Universal Orlando Resort.
