Ant and Dec have urged fans to send home videos to include in \'Saturday Night Takeaway\'.
The presenting duo will be fronting the live programme without a studio audience this weekend due to the coronavirus pandemic and, 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: "#SaturdayNightTakeaway NEEDS YOU! We have no studio audience this week so we want YOU, the audience at home, to be the stars of the #EndOfTheShowShow.

"And you could end up as part of a brilliant EOTSS! See you (and yourself!) on the telly!!(sic)"
Ant and Dec previously admitted they will "massively miss" having a studio audience for the popular ITV programme.
They shared a photo of a production meeting taking place via video chat and wrote on Instagram: "A quick hello from a very different #SaturdayNightTakeaway script meeting!
"We\'ll massively miss our studio audience but the show will go on this weekend. Stay safe everyone, we\'ll see you on the telly this Saturday."
It was announced on Tuesday (27.03.20) the programme would have no audience in keeping with social distancing guidelines to help curb the spread of coronavirus.
ITV said in a statement: "\'Ant And Dec\'s Saturday Night Takeaway\' will go ahead this weekend without a studio audience.
"Our priority is safeguarding the well-being of everyone involved.
"The show will be made with a reduced production crew and in accordance with the latest guidance from Public Health England.
"The team are looking forward to bringing our viewers a brilliant show on Saturday evening."
