7. Saturday Night Takeaway
Saturday 7th April at 7pm on ITV
After what must have been a very difficult show to present on his own, Declan Donnelly is back this week hosting this year's series finale of Saturday Night Takeaway on his own, supported by Stephen Mulhern and Scarlett Moffatt.
This year, the show will be coming live from Universal Orlando Resort in Florida for a spectacular end of the series finale. Dec will host and we'll see Ant & Dec on screen together again in the pre-recorded conclusion of Saturday Knight Takeaway.
One nation will be crowned in the final of Sofawatch and the Rembrandts will be performing a karaoke classic in Singalong Live. Stephen Mulhern takes his pop-up gameshow stateside in a very special edition of In For a Penny, and on top of all that, another lucky player gets the chance to Win the Ads.
