Ant and Dec stage fake baby scan for Saturday Night Takeaway as as prank exposed to child's father

Ant and Dec pulled off one of their biggest ever pranks on Saturday Night Takeaway by staging a fake baby scan to get one over on a viewer and father to be, before surprising him and his partner with an amazing gesture for their baby boy.

During last year's series, the Geordie presenters famously hosted a live wedding on their ITV show but even that paled in comparison to the stunt that played out in the opening moments of Takeaway's return this weekend. After warning viewers at home and fans in the studio audience that they'd been 'watching them' the hosts cut to couple Amy and Liam who were dining out at a restaurant right next to where the show is filmed.

Liam had no idea that his 'date' with was being broadcast to millions of viewers at home and, after Ant and Dec made contact with Amy through an ear piece, they finally revealed to Liam that they had been watching him, with the couple then driven the short distance to the ITV studio by I'm A Celebrity star Jordan North.
