Declan Donnelly, Scarlett Moffat and Stephen Mulhern are all smiles in Florida as they’re joined by 200 competition winners for Saturday Night Takeaway… without Ant
The trio were filming for the last show of Saturday Night Takeaway after last week's record-breaking viewing figures
WITH the Saturday Night Takeaway finale just days away, Declan Donnelly, Scarlett Moffat and Stephen Mulhern have been snapped entertaining crowds as they film in Florida.
The trio were joined by 200 competition winners on set for the final show, as with Ant McPartlin thousands of miles away in rehab.
They were all smiles as they ran past fans holding a sign saying "party!!" alongside a Minion.
It comes as The Sun Online reveals Dec's absent co-host Ant McPartlin will be seen on Britain’s Got Talent when it starts again in two weeks.
ITV bosses have decided to keep all the pre-recorded footage of Ant and Dec together in the auditions stage of the competition.
Ant had cancelled all his upcoming TV commitments after his “drink-drive” crash in March.
Hollywood star Denise Richards has also been named as the guest announcer for the final episode in the series.
The former Bond girl will be joining other big names, including Craig David.
A TV insider said: “Saturday Night Takeaway are determined to make sure the series finishes on a high.
“There are some great personalities joining Dec for the grand finale.
“Denise and Craig are both household names and boast the required amount of star power for a TV event of this scale."
But some of the show's younger fans were left scratching their heads following the announcement as they weren't sure who Denise was.
Ant has since returned to rehab, with Dec thanking their fans for all of their support in the recent weeks.
Dec will now present the finale of Saturday Night Takeaway alone in Florida - after vowing to continue with the show after Ant was charged.
His solo show last weekend was the most watched of the series so far with an impressive 8.6million viewers.
It was an extra 700,000 viewers than usual - and started with Dec getting a standing ovation from the studio audience as he first walked onto set.
Dec was supported by his co-stars Scarlett Moffat and Stephen Mulhern, who have expanded roles in the show to help fill the gap left by Ant.
The success of his performance means Dec will now return to Britain’s Got Talent to host the show alone.
Yesterday The Sun exclusively confirmed how Dec would be a one-man band throughout the final stages of the competition.
Last night he was seen looking on top form during a night out Stephen and his friends.
Although it's been a tough few weeks, elated Dec has been beaming since news of his wife's pregnancy broke.
Sharing the news last month, the 42-year-old star posted a romantic throwback from his and wife Ali Astall's wedding day and wrote: "Just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely messages.
"The news has sneaked out a little earlier than we had hoped but Ali and I are delighted to be expecting our first child.
"Thanks for all the love, we really appreciate it. D x."
Ant was charged with drink-driving following a collision on March 18.
Scarlett Moffatt and Stephen Mulhern jetted out to the US yesterday along with the first group of lucky viewers who got a place on the plane.
In Florida, work is currently underway to build the enormous set where the show will take place.
The large set is made up of three stages in front of the river running through Universal’s Orlando resort.
Each of the three stages is being built around brightly coloured blue and red pillars.
