A statement from ITV read: "We will no longer be broadcasting the Saturday Night Takeaway finale from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
"Walt Disney World has made the decision to close, beginning on Monday 16 March until the end of the month.
"The wellbeing of all our prize winners, as well as our production team, is always our number one priority.
"All recipients of a ‘Place on the Plane’ prize will have their prizes honoured and flown by Virgin Holidays for a 5-night stay at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida at such later date when it is practical for Virgin Holidays and Walt Disney World Resort to fulfil the prize."

Earlier this week it was revealed that Disney World Orlando is closing for the month following 42 cases of coronavirus reported in Florida.
It comes after President Donald Trump banned all travel from Europe to the country, excluding the UK.
Meanwhile, Saturday Night Takeaway will go ahead this evening with a live audience despite an in-house memo alleging the “preferred option” would be for producers to air shows without audiences.
