The current series of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway comes to an end this weekend, with Dec Donnelly once again set to host the show without his best friend Ant McPartlin. With the show due to take place at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, excitement is building for the final show.

After days of speculation about who will be on the show, bosses at Saturday Night Takeaway have now confirmed that former Bond girl Denise Richards will be the Guest Announcer on Saturday night.

Taking to the SNT Twitter account, the message read, 'The name’s Richards, @DENISE_RICHARDS! #SaturdayNightTakeaway'. [sic]

It is also being reported that superstar Craig David will fly out to America to perform throughout the final episode of the popular entertainment show.

According to reports, after recent events involving Ant, bosses of Saturday Night Takeaway are keen for the show to end with a big grand finale. Reports are also suggesting that Saturday night's show will be bigger and better than last year's live show from Universal Orlando Resort.

Re-live last year's End Of The Show Show:

Dec received heaps of praise from fans last weekend when he presented Saturday Night Takeaway without his on-screen partner Ant for the first time in history.

Despite looking nervous at the start of the show, Dec proved his professionalism and delivered an amazing show for fans.

Taking to Twitter after the episode ended, Dec thanked everybody for their support, writing, 'Thanks for all your lovely messages tonight, they are VERY much appreciated, I’m glad you enjoyed the show. I didn’t sleep an awful lot last night so I’m off to bed! Night y’all. D x'. [sic]

With the final show in mind, earlier this week it was reported that Dec is planning a 'special tribute' to Ant as he continues to battle his addictions in rehab.

It is understood that 90s band The Rembrandts will feature on the show, with Dec reportedly singing their massive hit 'I'll Be There For You', a song that is loved by the Geordie duo.

A source told The Daily Star, "If ever there were a song to sum up Ant and Dec’s friendship for the past 25 years then the Rembrandts track is it."

The song gained huge popularity when it was used as the soundtrack on hit comedy show Friends, a show that both Ant and Dec love. However, nothing has been confirmed by Saturday Night Takeaway bosses.

Meanwhile, Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway was nominated for a BAFTA TV award during the live nominations show this morning. The show is up against Britain's Got Talent, The Voice UK and Michael Mcintyre's Big Show in the Entertainment Programme category.

The series finale of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway airs on ITV at 7pm on Saturday 7th April.
