It was with a heavy heart that we said goodbye to Harry Hill on Saturday.

For years now, TV Burp has pulled off the not inconsiderable trick of being both clever and stupid - often at the same time.

Gems from this week's show included "the Audrey back-pack" and telling Alan Sugar not to jump off the roof at the opening credits of The Apprentice.

The brilliant finale saw The Knitted Character, Amanda Lamb, two Hevvs from EastEnders, and Wagbo singing Adele.

Who could ever replace him (hint, hint)?

TV Burp 'to end 11-year run with final edition'

The last ever edition of Harry Hill's TV Burp is reportedly set to air on Saturday night, according to audience members who were at the recording of the show.

Floppy-collared funnyman Harry Hill has bid an emotional farewell to fans after recording the final episode of his TV Burp comedy series.

The much-loved comic told the audience to ignore rumours that he had agreed to make another series - and confirmed that tonight's episode would bring down the curtain after 11 series on ITV.

The broadcaster made a multi-million pound offer to make one more series, but Hill, 47, stuck to his plans and quit.

Audience member, Zoe McCallister, posted a photo of the cast and crew online after the final filming session on Thursday and wrote: "Definitely the last ever one.

"Just been in the audience. Harry said not to take notice of the rumours. It is probably the best episode of TV Burp in years."

The show will air tonight featuring ex-EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison alongside regular characters Brian Belo, the Lord Sugar puppet and wild child Wagbo.

A second audience member, Jason, wrote online: "Not sure about anyone else, but I felt teary at the end."

In January, Hill said the satirical show would bow out with a "huge" finale and he is now working on a sports panel game with Alistair McGowan.

But an ITV source yesterday insisted the broadcaster was still hopeful the comic would reconsider.

"Harry has been a hugely popular part of the ITV schedule for many years, and the management would undoubtedly prefer him to stay here," he said.

"There will be many more discussions with Harry over the coming weeks, and we are hopeful a deal can yet be reached."
