Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Ant and Dec will be alone in the studio, apart from key crew and special guests.
As a large amount of the programming features interaction with members of the public, the pair have asked viewers to submit clips of their households dancing to be a part of the episode’s finale.
They wrote on Twitter: “Saturday Night Takeaway NEEDS YOU! We have no studio audience this week so we want YOU, the audience at home, to be the stars of the #EndOfTheShowShow.
“Film (in landscape) yourself, your family, your pets, whatever, dancing along to @ollymurs Dance With Me Tonight at home, for at least one minute… Then SUBMIT it to us.
“And you could end up as part of a brilliant EOTSS! See you (and yourself!) on the telly!”
