The TV presenter appeared in his last episode of the season last night.

Viewers bid farewell to Ant McPartlin last night after his final pre-recorded episode of Britain’s Got Talent finally aired.

Ant stepped away from the show earlier this year after he was arrested for drink-driving following an accident in London, however, audition episodes recorded last year have been appearing on our screens over the past number of weeks.

Last night, viewers shared their well-wishes for Ant on Twitter and it all got a little emotional.

“So, tonight is the last time we’ll see Ant McPartlin on Britain’s Got Talent,” wrote one fan.

“Even though he’s clearly done a terrible thing, I think you can’t be punished forever for something and I hope he manages to bounce back with time. “

However, many viewers also made sure to throw their support behind Dec Donnelly who will now host the live shows on his own.

“We know Dec will do the live shows brilliantly and the pair will be back soon,” one person wrote.

Ant checked himself into the rehab facility after he pleaded guilty to drink-driving and was fined £86,000 and given a 20-month driving ban.

Ant was forced to pull out of numerous appearances and hosting duties in the wake of the accident.
