Ant and Dec stop Saturday Night Takeaway to check on Stephen Mulhern following concern

It was a fun-packed finale in Florida as Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly took Saturday Night Takeaway across the pond. The last show of the series headed to the Universal Orlando Resort.

Viewers watching at home were treated to many of their favourite segments on the ITV family entertainment show in front of an audience of A Place On The Plane competition winners from throughout the series. The proceedings kicked off with Ant and Dec belting out Land of 1000 Dances with their co-stars Fleur East, Jordan North and Stephen Mulhern, and they were joined for the show by guest star Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

Later in the show Stephen was back to raise laughs with In For A Dollar, a United States answer to his pop-up gameshow In For A Penny. The star then reprised his popular game of Ant vs Dec, which sees his pals pitted against each other for hilarious challenges.

Tonight (Saturday, April 8) Ant was pied in the face by a giant cream dessert after losing the last challenge of the series to Dec. But there was a concerning moment when Stephen, who was on skates, fell over.

Ant and Dec stopped proceedings to make sure he was alright, saying people had been messaging online to ask. Ant asked him: "Stephen. Now you had a bit of a fall when I grabbed you. Are you okay?"

Ant and Dec checked on Stephen (ITV)

Stephen reassured: "Can I just say something. I'm absolutely fine but my knees on this stage it's hotter than the earth." Dec pressed: "We're glad you're okay. People online were quote concerned, but you're okay?"

Fans were touched to see that Stephen appeared surprised to learn that viewers had been worried about him. He looked baffled as he exclaimed: "Are you serious? They care for me!" And Ant and Dec replied: "They do care for you."'

@RyanTheSoapking tweeted: "Not Stephen falling flat on his face." @Mulhernnews commented: "Glad Stephen is okay." And @garyhayles85 said: "Aww Stephen looked generally shocked 'they actually like me'."
