Saturday Night Takeaway fans react in disbelief and say 'how dare they' within moments of final in Florida

Ant and Dec's smiles were almost as bright as the sunshine in Florida as they kicked off the finale to the current series of Saturday Night Takeaway. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were on top form as they launched into an all-singing, all-dancing performance of Land of 1000 Dances on the ITV family entertainment show.

The telly favourites were joined by their co-stars Fleur East, Jordan North and Stephen Mulhern for their high-energy routine live from Universal Orlando Resort. And fans were thrilled to hear the pair, who had a massive pop career in the nineties, belt out the introduction song as they sported dazzling colourful shirts to match the glorious weather.

They were joined by guest star Nicole Scherzinger who looked stunning in a sunny yellow dress, and of course the audience made up A Place On The Plane winners from throughout the series. Viewers watching from home flocked to comment within moments with many reacting in disbelief that this series has sped by all too quickly.

Another fan @honeymoonvalle remarked: "I wonder what all the Americans passing by think of this HAHAHA." And @Hanxx said: "This must look so confusing to people from other countries just there at Universal on holiday."

Other viewers pointed out that really it should be Saturday Afternoon Takeaway in Florida because of the time difference. @TwellyWatcher said: "More like Saturday Afternoon Takeaway in Orlando." And @chrisgolds said: "Yay! It’s #SaturdayNightTakeaway live from Orlando! @UniversalORL looks phenomenal as ever. They look like they are having the best Saturday afternoon!"

But @justnaomiyeh said: "This is actually a bit depressing sitting in my cold living room watching everyone on their holibobs." And @OhAlicia_remarked: "Oh to visit Florida someday." @RyanTheSoapking said: "I'm so jealous."
