Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway backlash as fans 'complain to Ofcom' over 'inappropriate' remark

Ant and Dec made a return this weekend with their ITV series Saturday Night Takeaway, but things took a surprising turn when, just minutes into the broadcast, fans began to complain. As viewers have come to expect, the duo made a number of pranks on audience members - and even on This Morning host Alison Hammond. But fans have threatened to complain to the broadcast regulator Ofcom after a particular comment made on the show.

However, some viewers claimed they were going to complain to Ofcom after a comment Dec made about a studio audience member.

"What an audience we have got tonight, it is so good to be back," Ant continued.
