Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have been dropped by car company Suzuki over McPartlin's drink-driving charge.
The Japanese car-maker is withdrawing its advertising campaign with the presenting duo, with "no further material to be aired".
"We agree with ITV and Ant & Dec that it was the correct decision not to broadcast Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend," a statement from Suzuki GB said.
"As a car brand we recognise the seriousness of Ant's charge."
The company said it "completely supports Ant's decision to seek treatment".
"Suzuki will however continue to sponsor the last two episodes of this series of Saturday Night Takeaway with our current idents," it said.
"Suzuki very much supports Dec and ITV's decision to broadcast the shows and as headline sponsors we also want to support the competition winners who have won places on the plane to Florida for the series finale."

McPartlin was charged with drink-driving following his arrest on Sunday, when his black Mini collided with two other cars in Richmond, London.
A child passenger in one of the cars - a green Mini - was taken to hospital as a precaution. She is believed to be a three-year-old girl.
Others involved were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
McPartlin's publicist has said the presenter is taking time out from his TV commitments, while the remaining episodes of Saturday Night Takeaway will be hosted solo by Declan Donnelly.

Long-time presenting partner Donnelly said in a statement: "Whilst I never thought I'd be in this position, after much discussion and careful consideration we've decided that the remaining two shows of this series of Saturday Night Takeaway will go ahead.
"We made a promise to take hundreds of deserving winners to Florida to watch the series finale, and we will honour that

South Korea holds live-fire drills that simulate destroying North Korea's leadership "The reason they want it, I think, is they want to be able to either respond to North Korean provocation or they want North Korea to be aware that they have the capability to respond if North Korea goes too far," said Schuster, now a Hawaii Pacific University professor. "To an extent it's as much a political as an operational development that's important to South Korean self-confidence." Moon has sought to be "more accommodating" to North Korea than his predecessor and looked for nonmilitary ways to resolve the situation, Schuster said, but the North's recent actions have undermined public confidence in his policies. They have also alarmed South Korea's allies in the region and around the world. The United States responded this week to a series of missiles launches by North Korea -- one of them over Japan -- by staging a mock...
Swae Lee Sleeps With His Jewelry On CreditCreditAkram Shah for The New York Times Swae Lee , half of the hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd , has been stepping out on his own. After teaming with such disparate artists as French Montana (“ Unforgettable ”), Post Malone (“ Sunflower ”) and Madonna (“ Crave ”), he is set to release his second solo album. He has also been honing a signature style, beyond his mop-top dreads and elaborate tattoos. Over a late lunch of French toast with maple syrup at the Public hotel in Lower Manhattan, he shared some fashion favorites. My favorite top is a button-down, for sure. It’s got to fit so clean. Sometimes it can be oversize and I love that, too. I like a light material, one that feels silky. I like both plain and patterned, but if it’s a dope pattern, it’ll beat plain any day. I like ones by Dolce & Gabbana and AllSaints. I also have Versace ones. I really just found out about Asos , and now I’m going crazy on there. ...
Cooking Spanish Pork Skewers Skunty empire For casual entertaining, the tapas experience translates well to the small home kitchen. One delicious hot tapas classic easily made at home is called pinchos Morunos, or Moorish skewers, essentially small kebabs of pork marinated in Arabic (Moorish) spices and grilled, usually on a hot steel plancha. Because most Muslim Arabs wouldn’t eat pork, one presumes the original dish was lamb. It’s anyone’s guess how it evolved into this ubiquitous tapa selection in Christian Spain. Nevertheless, now it means pork seasoned with garlic, cumin, coriander, pimentón and sometimes oregano. Once skewered, they need only about 5 minutes on a hot griddle Recipe to cook pork skewers 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin, in half-inch slices Salt pepper 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground 2 teaspoons coriander seeds, lightly toasted and ground ½ teaspoon pimentón, sweet or hot ½ teaspoon dried oregano 2...
