Saturday Night Takeaway viewers in tears after Ant McPartlin makes crushing announcement

Saturday Night Takeaway viewers were left in tears after Ant McPartlin announced it was the second to last episode of the hit ITV show. The last episode will be shown next Saturday (April 9) much to fans' heartbreak.

During last night's episode Ant, who hosts the show with Declan Donnelly, revealed that it was the penultimate episode of the programme. And in response, the audience booed the statement, Birmingham Live reports.

He said: "Next week is the last in the series. So it's your last chance to nominate someone for the last happiest minute of the week."
