Oti Mabuse shared a sad update on Sunday as Saturday Night Takeaway came to an end this weekend after 22 years on British TV screens.
The former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer, 33, took part in the final ever live show hosted by Ant Mcpartlin and Declan Donnelly.
She was involved in an undercover segment with singer Olly Murs on the episode and before going on air took to Instagram to reflect on the end of the show.
She posted a video on Instagram of her with Olly backstage ahead of the final and captioned the clip: 'It's always sad to see shows go - it's not just the people in front on the camera that it affects but a lot of the crew too!
'TV feeds a lot of families the camera, lights staging, designing, glam - all these people are family and lose something as well. A second family if you chose to call it.'

Ant and Dec choked back tears as they said an emotional farewell at the end of the final Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend.
The duo, both 48, drew the ITV series to a close after 22-years with a heartfelt speech thanking viewers at home before serenading the audience with a song.
Ant and Dec admitted they never 'in their wildest dreams' imagined the show would be such a hit and last two decades.
With Ant telling viewers: 'It's been an honour and a privilege to have made the show and been part of your Saturday nights for 22 years.'
As an emotional Dec continued: 'When we started this back in 2002 we both thought we'd be lucky if we got to do this for maybe a couple of years.
'So what's happened has honestly been beyond our wildest dreams, We have truly adored every second of making this show'.
With tears in his eyes Dec said: "But there's one thing we've never ever forgotten when making this show. And that's the fact it's not our show, it's your show, so we'd like to say a massive thank you to you our incredible audience. Thank you'.
Pal Ant then came to the rescue and put a hand on his shoulder before introducing a montage of the show's most memorable moments.
She said in a post on her Story: 'It's always sad to see shows go - it's not just the people in front on the camera that it affects but a lot of the crew too!

The hosts were then joined on stage by McFly's Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher as they sung a specially rewritten rendition of the band's hit All About you.
Viewers at home were equally emotional and took to X/Twitter with one writing: 'And the nation is crying!!!!'.
'Thank you so much @antanddec for entertaining all of us for 20 years': 'Oh man, sad day for TV. Thank you Ant and Dec for 22 years of the best': 'Going to miss @itvtakeaway and @antanddec brought tears to my eyes, after many years, well done boys!': 'Genuinely missing it already'.
Last year Ant and Dec announced they'd quit Saturday Night Takeaway ahead of the 20th series, shocking their fans across the nation.
The pair will continue their exclusive working relationship with ITV, hosting hit shows including I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Britain's Got Talent and Limitless Win, all of which air across ITV1 and ITVX.
Despite the emotion the show was full of it's usual madcap chaos with Ant even injuring himself after tacking Stephen Mulhern live on air.
Comedian Stephen, 47, returned to the programme for the last episode ahead of the ITV show's hiatus after he was struck down with a mystery illness last week.
Television presenter Stephen was in good form as he appeared in the studio dressed as a giant gold trophy.
Magician Stephen umpired a penalty shoot-out competition between Ant and his co-host Declan.
In the goal was retired footballer Ben Foster, 41, who played for Wrexham until last year.
'Honestly Stephen, we've had a blast,'
