Elsewhere everyone from Simon Cowell to Rylan and Oti Mabuse will partake.

Ant said: “We can’t believe there are only a few shows left and we’re getting closer to the end. This series has been very special to make and we’re looking forward to making the last show a party to end all parties.
“The SNT production team have been working non stop to ensure this special, two hour finale has that SNT magic from start to finish.”
Dec added: “The finale will be a real celebration of Saturday Night Takeaway over the years.
“We’re honoured and touched that for 20 series it’s been part of Saturday night TV viewing for so many families across the country.“We’re giving it (and us!) a rest for now, but we’ll take away and treasure some very special memories and moments. We will most certainly miss it.”
Most of the celebs will take part in an epic segment called Get Out Of Me Ear: The Revenge.
