Saturday Night Takeaway has released first-look pictures from rehearsals ahead of the show’s finale in Florida this weekend.

In the snaps, Dec Donnelly can be seen posing with co-hosts Scarlett Moffatt and Stephen Mulhern, without his usual presenting partner Ant McPartlin, in front of the Universal Studios sign.

Another picture shows the trio running away from a group of minions, as the winners of the Place on the Plane competition winners wave signs reading: ‘Party!’ in the background.

McPartlin will be absent from the series finale after stepping down from his TV commitments following a drink-driving crash.

He made the decision to return to rehab after being involved in a three-car collision last month, where he was arrested at the scene.

Donnelly presented last week’s episode of Saturday Night Takeaway without McPartlin, receiving praise from viewers and thank fans for the ‘support’ he had received.

He wrote on Twitter after the show: “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”
