Ant and Dec give crew a toilet roll each on Saturday Night Takeaway

Ant and Dec gave every one of their Saturday Night Takeaway crew members a toilet roll at the end of this weekend's show.

After the show's Florida finale was cancelled last week and Ant and Dec hinted coronavirus might halt Takeway, ITV revealed that the biggest course of action will be the fact the remaining shows in the new series will take place without an audience.

A statement from the channel read: "‘Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway will go ahead this weekend without a studio audience. Our priority is safeguarding the well-being of everyone involved.

"The show will be made with a reduced production crew and in accordance with the latest guidance from Public Health England.

""The team are looking forward to bringing our viewers a brilliant show on Saturday evening."

That meant there were no contestants in the studio to play Win the Ads, with this week's player, Natasha, taking part via video call from her home in Cornwall.

No audience for Saturday Night Takeaway

After correctly guessing that radio shows across the country simultaneously played You'll Never Walk Alone on Friday morning, she took home a whole host of prizes including a car, a new fridge freezer, a year's subscription to Disney+ and the big one...toilet roll!

And not just for her either as her correct answer meant that the Takeaway crew all got to take some home too. In the wake of the coronavirus, what was once considered the show's booby prize has now become a coveted item after shoppers across the country have clamoured to stock pile it.
