Ant and Dec's Limitless Win sends viewers into frenzy trying to work out answer to waffle question

Ant and Dec's Limitless Win sent viewers into a frenzy on Saturday night as they tried to find out the answer. It comes after the pair asked a question about a potato waffle.

The question left Ant and Dec demanding an answer as well as viewers at home rummaging through their freezers to work it out. Members of the public appeared on the quiz show in an effort to win money.

Chronicle Live reports couple Hannah and Matt appeared on the show, ready to climb up the limitless ladder. They faced questions about Netflix series Stranger Things to world flags and the solar system.

And it wasn't before long that the question about popular snack and childhood teatime favourite, the potato waffle, reared its head. One of the lifelines available to Hannah and Matt was 'Take Two', where the computer accepts one answer from them and one from Ant and Dec.

Ant quipped: "Don't worry, Dec's been revising all week." Dec replied: "If by revising, you mean Tipping Point and, by all week, you mean this afternoon, then I have been."

The exact question about Birds Eye potato waffles was 'how many holes' are in them and, as soon as Ant and Dec asked it, Twitter was awash with guesses and tweets about what lengths ITV viewers at home were going to get to answer. One tweeted: "Running to the freezer to check how many holes a potato waffle has. What has happened to Saturday nights. God, I need a life."

Another responded: "Watching Limitless Win and me mam's just ran to the freezer to check how many holes are in a potato waffle." A third wrote: "It has just got very heated here over how many holes are in a Birds Eye potato waffle."

The answer was 20, prompting Dec to shout: "We need to see this!" A giant CGI version of a waffle appeared above Ant and Dec after they demanded proof.

Reacting to that moment, another viewer tweeted: "I think Ant and Dec on Limitless Win saying 'show us a waffle immediately' followed by a giant CGI potato waffle descending into the studio over their heads like a God might be an early candidate for most surreal quiz show moment of the year."
