Fans react to Dec’s first solo Saturday Night Takeaway show

The start of something new or the end of an era?

Tonight, Declan Donnelly took to the Saturday Night Takeaway stage for the first time without Ant McPartlin. Many cheered as he walked down the steps, onto the stage, and as usual he high-fived numerous audience members.
