Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway slammed as EMPTY planes fly over 8K miles for final

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly 's Saturday Night Takeaway has been caught up in an environmental storm after British Airways flew two empty planes across the Atlantic for the grand finale of the ITV series.

For the series' final instalment, several lucky fans were flown to the US from London Heathrow to watch the live recording at Universal Orlando Resort in Floria.

Once the winners and presenting duo were dropped off, the empty British Airways passenger jet reportedly flew back the next day before another empty jet subsequently made its way from London to pick up the guests and crew.
