Scottish family in tears as they are reunited with daughter on Saturday Night Takeaway

A thrilled family from Fife were left in tears after they were reunited with their daughter on Saturday Night Takeaway

Ant and Dec surprised the family during their ITV on Saturday as they dished out the final tickets left on the plane to Orlando for the show final next week.

Not only did Scots Mary and Kim get the amazing news of the trip, but they were left with a heart warming surprise as Declan Donnelly asked them to turn around as they were reunited with a very familiar face.

"We know that your daughter and sister Emma works away in the military so you haven't seen her all year," said Dec.

"We also know you have never been to America as a family so we think you all need some much-needed family time together."

They looked on at their TV screen in shock as they were told they would be joining the other passengers onboard the plane next week.

"And so does the person behind you.... have a look!" gestured Dec as the shocked mum and daughter turned around to look at their living room door as Emma walked in dressed in her army attire.

"Aww, you're all off to Florida guys as you have our FINAL places on the plane," added Dec as they bounced off their couch and embraced her in their arms in the emotional video link.

Emma, Mary and Kim will join in the red carpet treatment from courtesy of British Airways holidays in a very special Saturday Night Takeaway jet with a six-night stay right in the middle of all the action with access to Disneyland and $2,000 to spend.

Meanwhile, fans were left emotional listening to the other stories of viewers and audience members who were given a plane ticket to jet away to next week's final in the 'happiest minute of the week.'

Also joining the 200 people already onboard from all over the UK was young Oliver in Waterlooville who had given up his weekends to read to residents in his local care home making his visit "the highlight of their week" by putting smiles on their faces.

"We have also heard you have never been on an aeroplane before, well that's gonna change because you've also got a place on THE PLANE!," said Dec.
