Saturday Night Takeaway fans were delighted as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly brought back a fan favourite for the live final show of the series. Viewers have been loving the new Ring My Bell game which sees members of the studio audience win £500 if they recognise their home via live footage from their doorbell camera.
And the first neighbours to race up to the house and shout "ring my bell' also win £500. Viewers were in stitches as the ITV show challenged one audience member's neighbours to grab their wheelie bins as an extra challenge in the race to get to the front door.
Just as it appeared that no-one was coming, they cheered as a man appeared with his bin and made it to the door within the last seconds of the countdown. But fans winced as he recited his exact address when he was asked his name and house number.

@KyleSew2112 tweeted: "He's just casually revealed her address on national television #SaturdayNightTakeaway." And @BeckyIves3 said: "Not the guy giving his full address out can't beat live TV #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
@marcjohnson27 asked: "Does he realise he’s just given his address to 9 million people? #SaturdayNightTakeaway" and @jodiepell_x commented: "Probs best to not say full address mate."
@JoshxReid said:"Maybe not the best idea to give away your address on national TV." And @numptydumpty198 joked: "They can announce my address to the nation providing they promise to turn up for tea every night."
There was another amusing moment when the first chosen audience member forgot the game catchphrase 'ding dong! that's my doorbell!" and clapped her hand over her mouth in horror. And fans were again calling for it to be made into a spin-off series.
@SarahFreer tweeted: "I say it every week. Can we just have #RingMyBell instead as the opening game? At least when that goes wrong it’s still comedy gold." And @GeorginaJD_ wrote: "Going to buy a Ring doorbell just incase I can’t be on next years #SaturdayNightTakeaway @antanddec."
Ant and Dec previously apologised to fans for sending their dogs wild with the sound of the doorbell noise. "Apologies to Britain’s dog owners for tonight’s ‘Ring My Bell’ segment," they said with laughing and dog emojis on Twitter. One viewer said it was 'chaos' in their house and another said their pooch was 'non-stop barking' thinking that someone was at the door.
Fans across the country shared videos of their pooches rushing to the door. But liamscfc23 said: "Forget the dogs barking @antanddec @itvtakeaway my partner keeps thinking someone is ringing the bell and makes me check our door."
