Earlier on Wednesday, it was announced that Declan Donnelly will host Saturday Night Takeaway without McPartlin when the show returns on Saturday, March 31.
Earlier this week it was confirmed that the show will not air this weekend as McPartlin undergoes further treatment. The decision follows the TV presenter's arrest on suspicion of drink driving in London on Sunday.
"We can confirm that Saturday Night Takeaway, presented by Declan Donnelly, will return to ITV on March 31, and the series finale will be taking place at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida a week later," an ITV spokesperson said.
Donnelly further confirmed the news in a statement on the duo's official Twitter page: "Whilst I never thought I'd be in this position, after much discussion and careful consideration we've decided that the remaining two shows of this series of Saturday Night Takeaway will go ahead."
McPartlin was released on Tuesday following his arrest under suspicion of drink driving on Sunday evening in London, with police continuing the investigation.
At the National Television Awards a few days after the split, McPartlin referred to his "tough year" while picking up the presenting prize with Donnelly.

We received with shock the press release purportedly issued by the Alaafin, wherein he openly challenged the authority of the Ooni to confer the chieftaincy title of Okanlomo Oodua on Engineer Dotun Sanusi, a highly respected Ibadan son and entrepreneur of note. The outcry from the Alaafin’s palace over this conferment is both unnecessary and unwarranted. Even more troubling is the unprecedented 48-hour ultimatum allegedly issued to the Ooni ;  an action we regard as a blatant display of disrespect, bereft of the decency, wisdom, and diplomacy expected of royalty. It is important to emphasize that the Ooni of Ife is not only the custodian of the sacred Od...
