Ant and Dec's drag queen makeovers stun Takeaway viewers as they join RuPaul themed finale

Ant and Dec took on two new and very glamorous identities at the end of Saturday Night Takeaway as they joined the stars of Drag Race UK for a fabulous finale that delighted and shocked viewers in equal measure.

Earlier in the week, the Geordie duo revealed their excitement at Takeaway securing a Drag Race exclusive for the first episode of its new series.

Not only was RuPaul Star Guest Announcer, but all three Drag Race UK winners so far - The Vivienne, Lawrence Cheney and Krystal Versace - performed together for the first time.

The champions each performed a verse of a new track before Ru, who was joined by Drag Race co-star Michelle Visage, announced the arrival of two new queens.

And those two divas were none other than Ant and Dec who became the self proclaimed Angels of the North - Lady ANToinette and Donna-Lee.

The hosts had fierce transformations to strut onto the stage and lip sync to their verse, which even referenced 'psyche,' the title of their debut album as PJ and Duncan and the word famously used in their classic single Let's Get Ready to Rhumble.

Ant donned a huge ginger wig and fringed leotard for his new role, while Dec looked very every inch a show girl with a big blonde do and a dazzling blue dress and both of them had their faces painted in serious style, to look both fierce and flawless.

The track they performed with the Drag Race stars - We Werk Together - was hastily made available to download and stream in aid of the Trussell Trust, and, as well as doing that, viewers rushed to Twitter to share their feedback on Ant and Dec's new looks, or should that be lewks?!

One tweeted: "Sorry but how did Ant & Dec serve better than anyone on Celeb Drag Race," with a second reacting: "Ant & Dec in drag is all I needed in my life. I AM SCREAMING THEY LOOKED AMAZING," and a third posting: "OMG Ant & Dec as drag queens bloody brilliant guys, great to have you back, it was a fabulous show"
