Declan Donnolly will once again present without his best pal Ant who is in rehab following his "drink-drive" arrest.

Instead he will take to the stage solo, with the backing of Scarlett Moffatt and Stephen Mulhern who have taken on larger roles in the show to fill the gap left by Ant's absence.

Yesterday Dec was embraced by a Saturday Night Takeaway fan at Universal Orlando as viewers rallied to support him after the last few weeks.

He posed for pictures with families where he is preparing to go solo once again while Ant remains back in the UK.

Ant was forced to drop out of his TV commitments after being charged with drink-driving.

He was taken into custody after allegedly being involved in a collision with two other cars while he was driving his Mini in Richmond, South West London, on March 18.

It left Dec to hold the fort on Saturday Night Takeaway alone - which became the most watched episode of the series with 8.6million viewers.

Now Dec and the team hope to create the same success in the show finale this Saturday.

Denise Richards will be the show's guest announcer for the series' final episode.

It left many millennials scratching their head as to who the actress was and what films she has starred in.

She will be joined by Craig David who is flying over to Florida especially for the show and will DJ throughout the episode.

And last night it was confirmed Jason Derulo will perform the End of the Show Show in the series finale.

Speaking on a pre-recorded clip on Lorraine this morning, Dec teased the end of series show.

He said: "It's jam-packed.

"It's going to be amazing and it's going to be hot, hot, hot.

"Make sure you watch on Saturday. Sending lots of love."
