Loyal Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway fans were left heartbroken after the show's hosts, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, made a sad announcement over the weekend.
Stephen Mulhern revealed that Saturday night's episode was in fact the penultimate episode of the year, with the seventh and final episode airing this Saturday (April 3) with Mo Gilligan as the special guest announcer.
Ant and Dec have a blockbuster contract with ITV and are also responsible for presenting I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and Britain's Got Talent.
The duo's Saturday Night Takeaway is one of the channel's most popular shows, though.
And it is fair to say viewers were left deflated after news of the series ending emerged.
One viewer tweeted : "Oh don't....my six year old just cried... Apparently she is going to ring Ant and Dec every Saturday night as she will miss them....not sure how she is planning on doing that ... They will be lots of tears next weekend".
"Feels like it's only been on two weeks," added another, while a third wrote: "I can’t believe that next week is the final one".
"My six year old son is gutted that it’s the last Saturday night takeaway next week.....he would very much like to know, why is it not on all year round??" added a fourth.
Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway continues to air each Saturday on ITV1 with episodes available via the ITV Hub after they are broadcast.
