Saturday Night Takeaway fans were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the series in a new ITV documentary - but some viewers were left feeling "cheated" after learning some backstage secrets.
Saturday Night Takeaway: Behind the Screens followed Ant and Dec and the show's talented crew as it revealed the huge amount of work that goes into preparing for a live episode, from rehearsing challenges to booking star guests. However, one segment in particular took people by surprise as it was shown that one of the series' most memorable moments wasn't actually live.
The documentary revealed that Ant and Dec's physics-defying End of the Show Show performance with singer Tom Grennan in a moving dressing room was filmed in advance, and even took multiple takes in rehearsals in order to nail the complicated choreography. The scene sparked a debate on social media, as some viewers said they had no idea that parts of the Saturday show weren't live while others insisted this was "common knowledge".
