Saturday Night Takeaway finale in chaos after huge blunder as Ant McPartlin breaks prop

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly filmed the Saturday Night Takeaway finale from Universal Orlando Resort in Florida but the live show didn't go as planned when Ant accidentally broke a vital prop.

For the final instalment of the current series, Ant and Dec were joined by Nicole Scherzinger as they played Saturday Night At The Movies with The Pussycat Dolls singer.

However, the game soon hit a problem just as Nicole helped one family win £1,000 from the comfort of their own home.

During the movie-themed game, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! host Ant was tasked with timing the festivities with a clapperboard.

Ant exclaimed: "My [clapperboard] has broken! It just fell apart in the heat."

Dec and Nicole burst out laughing as Ant added: "It's alright I can use [the top half] it's fine!"

Meanwhile, Saturday Night Takeaway fans were disappointed at the Ant and Dec series coming to an end.

One tweeted: "@itvtakeaway what a great series, so sad that it’s over! Going out with a bang in the finale! See you next year! #SaturdayNightTakeaway," and a second said: "#SaturdayNightTakeaway sad it's ending absolutely love the show and watching every Saturday!"

Another shared: "Do so adore the always wildly entertaining @itvtakeaway so much. @antanddec continue to show why they are the true masters of top-quality light entertainment. So sad next week is the season finale, but til then can't wait for more...... #SaturdayNightTakeaway."

"Not ready for it to be the last one for another year #SaturdayNightTakeaway," a fourth added.

Saturday Night Takeaway fans don't have to wait too long for the next slice of the action as a new documentary about the making of the show will air on Easter Sunday.

Saturday Night Takeaway: Behind The Screens will give fans a look into what goes on behind the scenes to create Ant and Dec's beloved series.

This year's series saw the presenting-duo prank This Morning's Alison Hammond and Rylan Clark as well as sending Strictly Come Dancing's Claudia Winkleman to IKEA with an earpiece.

Ant and Dec also created a fake DIY session for Joe Wicks in hilarious scenes.
