The pair broadcast last night's show with no studio audience and only a handful of crew in line with government guidelines over social distancing during the coronavirus crisis.

Writing on Twitter after the show, Ant wrote: "Wow! Overwhelmed by your lovely messages tonight.

"It was a privilege to be on air this evening. Stay safe everyone. Much love to you all."

While the clips played, Olly Murs sung live in the studio alongside Ant, Dec, regular co-stars Stephen Mulhern and Andi Peters - and guest Bradley Walsh.
