ITV presenters Ant and Dec claim that they've been 'stitched up' after hitting Universal ahead of the weekend's special edition of ITV's Saturday Night Takeaway.
The Geordie duo are currently lapping up sunny Orlando, Florida - with a handful of lucky viewers in a one-week stay at the world-renowned theme park.
During the current run of their hit ITV series, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have been handing out 'places on the plane' tickets to unsuspecting viewers at home and audience members in the studio, ahead of the season's finale at the stateside resort this weekend.

The MEN reports that the occasion marks the first time that the pair have been able to present the show from the exciting location since the global coronavirus pandemic emerged in 2020. Last weekends show hosted noughties pop sensations Busted play the End of the Show Show, closing the night off after announcing that they would be returning for a 20th anniversary tour of the UK.
The 'What I Go To School For', 'Year 3000' and 'Crash and Burn' singers performed a medley of their biggest hits, while the show's cast piled into a bus to start their journey towards Florida - where the season finale will take place this weekend (April 8).
And Ant & Dec have been reasonably quiet on social media since their departure, only sharing a rare snap of themselves at Universal on Tuesday. In which, the pair of 47-year-olds posed in front of the iconic Universal globe outside the studios, wearing shorts and Hawaiian shirts.
They captioned the post: "We’ve been stitched up here… #SaturdayNightTakeaway," seemingly referring to the fact they comically failed at attempting to pose for the camera with the globe either perched in their hands of leaning up against it. And the funny photo made fans look forward to the upcoming show even more.
One, said: "Can't wait for the finale!!!!" while another, commented: "Hope you’re enjoying it, can’t wait for the show Saturday." A third, shared: "Cant wait for the show it's going to be a good one as always xo," while a fourth, replied: "Awww wish I was there with you both and all the lucky place on the plane winners!
"Although the weather here at the moment is pretty special. Enjoy! Look forward to watching you on Saturday night."
A fifth, added: "So happy for you to be back there!! hope it’s a good one, will be watching with envy from the UK."
