Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway nearly always brings us laughs and silly jokes - however many viewers have been left reeling after watching the hosts' first prank of the new series on ITV1. Ant and Dec opened up the long-awaited first show of the new series with a "prank" involving a pregnant woman convincing her partner that he was seeing his unborn baby in a baby scan - only to later find out live on the programme that the footage shown in the scan was faked.
A guest on the show named Amy wanted to get her revenge on her partner Liam, who she said is always pranking her. In tonight's episode, viewers heard that Ant and Dec had come up with an idea to use Amy's pregnancy, her and Liam's first baby together, to prank Liam.
In an elaborate plan, which took ten months to complete, Liam was pranked during baby scans and birthing classes - and even during a photo shoot with his and Amy's new baby son Finley, shortly after he was born. But the biggest prank occurred during a baby scan appointment, when Liam was shown a baby that was dancing and waving along to songs and sounds that he played to Amy's stomach. Shockingly, on Saturday's programme, he found out that the footage he'd seen did not show his baby and the baby's movements had been digitally edited.
