A second said: "Feels like it's only been on two weeks," another said, with crying emojis.
And a third wrote: "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??"
A fourth moaned: "I can’t believe that next week is the final one" accompanied by crying emojis.
Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway continues to air each Saturday on ITV1 with episodes available via the ITV Hub after they are broadcast.
