Saturday Night Takeaway fans convinced Ant and Dec’s show will never be back after spotting emotional ‘clue’
The ITV series first hit our screens in June 2002.
Ant and Dec have fronted Saturday Night Takeaway for over 22 years.
The duo fought back tears as they wrapped up the two hour special over the weekend - and because of their emotion, they think it won't be back.
One took to DigitalSpy to comment: "Although they don't want to say it publicly, I think their reaction is a sign that this really is the last ever episode."
A second agreed and put: "I honestly think it is. Going out with a bang."
