Host: Please, please, please . . . let this be the end.
Ant and Dec: Well done, another triumph.

David Williams: David, was it just you behind the screen?
David Watson: I did the James Bond. And the cloak was from the Batman scene.
David Williams: Of course.
David Watson: Doing what we call “trainer’s cracker”.
David Williams: Of course.
Ayesha: This is your best work yet. By far.
Amanda: Simon.
Simon: I didn’t know what was going on at any time . . .
David Williams: Simon, he was cracker, he was Batman, he was James Bond — I mean, couldn’t it have been any more obvious?

I’m going to kick this off with a “Yes”!
Ant and Dec: Come on, just need three.
David Williams: Ayesha.
Ayesha: I’m saying “Yes”.
Host: Yes! Two!
Ant and Dec: Come on! Come on!
Simon Cowell: We’re friends now — but honestly, “No”.
Ant and Dec: Amanda. Come on.
Amanda Holden: David, I feel I’ve grown up with you on this show.
Ant and Dec: Come on Amanda, please.
Amanda Holden: I’ve watched you develop into the man you are now.
Ant and Dec: Come on Amada. It’s a “Yes”, it’s gotta be.
Host: Come on Amanda.
Amanda: It’s a “no”.

David Williams: BOO!
Simon: See you in 2018, David.
