Ant and Dec have shared a gallery of behind-the-scenes snaps to Instagram on Sunday following their final Saturday Night Takeaway after 20 series.

The presenters, both 48, were seen wrapping their arms around each other as they rehearsed the final show in one picture.

The duo both seemed in good spirits as they cut casual figure in sweatshirts and jeans as they held their microphones while walking off stage.

Ant and Dec were also seen posing with celebrity pals Stephen Mulhern, Alison Hammond and Dermott O’Leary.

In another picture, the Geordie duo were seen looking very dapper in their tuxedos as they had their makeup touched up backstage.

They also shared a picture of Dec dressed in a blue football kit from their final segment of Ant Vs Dec where the pair competed in penalties.

The ITV hosts were seen beaming alongside Stephen as they sat on a sofa and held up a book which read: ‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway guest book’.

Ant and Dec wrote: ‘One last Takeaway dump’.

It comes after the duo choked back tears as they said an emotional farewell at the end of the final show last weekend.

They drew the ITV series to a close after 22-years with a heartfelt speech thanking viewers at home before serenading the audience with a song.

Ant and Dec admitted they never ‘in their wildest dreams’ imagined the show would be such a hit and last two decades.

With Ant telling viewers: ‘It’s been an honour and a privilege to have made the show and been part of your Saturday nights for 22 years.’

As an emotional Dec continued: ‘When we started this back in 2002 we both thought we’d be lucky if we got to do this for maybe a couple of years.

‘So what’s happened has honestly been beyond our wildest dreams, We have truly adored every second of making this show’.

With tears in his eyes Dec said: “But there’s one thing we’ve never ever forgotten when making this show. And that’s the fact it’s not our show, it’s your show, so we’d like to say a massive thank you to you our incredible audience. Thank you’.

Pal Ant then came to the rescue and put a hand on his shoulder before introducing a montage of the show’s most memorable moments.

The hosts were then joined on stage by McFly’s Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher as they sung a specially rewritten rendition of the band’s hit All About you.
