As usual, the presenters will be joined by a long list of celebrities, which includes Mo Farah and Stephen Mulhern.

And there'll be a very exciting Saturday Night Takeaway guest performance to mark the final End of The Show Show.

To bring it all together, the boys have a new guest announcer each week to take viewers through the evening's events, and this weekend they'll be joined by a very special comedian.

Here's everything you need to know.

Who will be this week’s guest announcer on Saturday Night Takeaway?

Comedian and The Masked Dancer judge Mo Gilligan will be this week's guest announcer.
