Declan Donnelly's first-ever Saturday Night Takeaway without partner Ant McPartlin went down incredibly well last night (March 31), with fans praising his professionalism and skill in front of the camera.
And now Dec has taken to social media to thank viewers for their kind words about his first solo gig.
"Thanks for all your lovely messages tonight, they are VERY much appreciated," he tweeted after the show. "I'm glad you enjoyed the show."
He also hinted that he was a little bit too nervous to sleep the night before the big shake-up, adding: "I didn't sleep an awful lot last night so I'm off to bed! Night y'all."
The decision to air the final two episodes in this year's series of Saturday Night Takeaway was made after Ant headed back to rehab following an arrest for suspected drink driving.
After some speculation over whether the series would continue without Ant, Dec later announced on Twitter that he would see out the show solo for the final two episodes.

Despite joking last night that he had "twice the amount of work to do", Dec did a great job – and mostly made sure that most viewers wanted to give him a massive hug.
And now that we've seen Dec giving it his all last night, regular viewers don't have to be worried about the final episode of this series either, which will air live from Universal Studios, Florida.
Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway airs on ITV on Saturday nights.
