Last night's Saturday Night Takeaway smashed records as the show enjoyed its biggest audience ever.
An average of 9.5million tuned in to see Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly lift everyone’s spirits - 39 per cent up on the series average.
Viewing figures peaked at 11.1m, more than any channel since the New Year’s Eve fireworks on BBC1.
It was the most watched programme of 2020 so far by young people with 1.6m 16-34 year-old watching, figures show. It was also ITV's biggest audience in the Saturday slot since April 2016.
But it could be the last live show for some time.
Takeaway's live broadcast has been cancelled next week amid coronavirus fears.
Dec announced that next weekend's show will be pre-recorded after an emotional self-isolation-themed End Of The Show Show with singer Olly Murs.
Dec said: "Thanks to our incredible crew for getting the show on tonight. Thank you to all the key workers who are keeping this country going.
"We will be back next Saturday at 7. We won't be live but we will be here with the finale of Men In Brown. Stay safe everybody."
The duo also launched a new mental wellness campaign amid the outbreak.
They have called on the nation to reach out to their loved ones as part of ITV's Britain Get Talking campaign.
ITV have one again joined forces with YoungMinds and Mind to urge the public to support one another and to keep talking.
Ant said: "More of us will be apart or by ourselves than ever before. It's going to be harder for some of us than it is for others.
“So if there's someone you can't be with right now, pick up the phone and show them that you care. Reach out to the ones who need it most."
