Ant and Dec took a moment out to 'apologise' for the chaos caused by their new game Ring My Doorbell on Saturday Night Takeaway.
The popular duo said sombrely 'we just want to apologise' as they addressed the complaints from viewers a couple of weeks ago that dogs across the country were being driven crazy by the sound of Ring doorbells.
The game went live to the homes of audience members via their doorbell camera as neighbours raced to ring the bell for a cash prize.

But many fans of the ITV family show complained that the sound of the doorbells had sent pet pooches dogs mad, thinking that someone was at their own door.
One viewer @s7oksey told them it had been "F’n chaos in our house."
After saying sorry, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly then dropped the bombshell that they were bringing the game back despite the complaints.
"We're not that sorry because we're playing it again this week," they announced cheekily.
Ring UK warned on Twitter: "Get ready to mute if you have dogs!"
@Sistermatic complained: "Thanks @antanddec, dogs barking now."
@madgeco21 tweeted: "#SaturdayNightTakeaway #ringmybell both my dogs are going crazy."
@ZoeSomebody said: "Oh god, doggo out of control again."
@bangswifties commented: "We don’t even have that sound as our doorbell but the dog is going nuts but I do love this game."
And Fiona Marshall said: "#SaturdayNightTakeaway thank goodness #ringmybell is finished my Chihuahuas are camped out at our front door."
Fans of the game hailed it as the 'best segment ever' with some even calling for it to be made into a spin-off show.
@Tyrese54275942 said: "Ring My Bell is literally the best segment ever."
@edwardgvickers tweeted: "RING MY BELL has got to be one of the funnest parts of @itvtakeaway this year."
@GeorgiaEH17 declared: "RING THE BELL NEEDS TO BE WEEKLY I’M OBSESSED."
@ShirleighShirlz said: "Ring My Bell needs to be its own TV show."
And @picklesthomas wrote: "Would watch a full series of that doorbell game they play on #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
