Saturday Night Takeaway fans cringe at man's epic doorbell blunder in Ant and Dec finale

Ant and Dec fans were left in hysterics as Saturday Night Takeaway returned for its live series finale on ITV.

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly took to the stage for a final night of fun, with comedian Lee Mack in the studio as the guest announcer.

The Geordie quo introduced the first segment of the night, Ring My Bell, and the audience in the studio were ecstatic as the ITV show challenged one attendee’s neighbours to dash to their doorbell.

Ant and Dec told viewers near one doorbell to bring a wheelie bring to the door and then watched as one viewer dashed to the door in the final second of the countdown.

But once the ITV viewer said the catchphrase ‘Ring my bell’, he then told Ant and Dec and the live studio audience his exact address, leaving many fans cringing at the blunder.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “He's just casually revealed her address on national television,” as another said: “Does he realise he’s just given his address to 9 million people,” alongside a crying laughing emoji.

Another fan tweeted: “Not the guy giving his full address out. Can't beat live TV.”

Another posted: “Maybe not the best idea to give away your address on national TV,” while a fellow fan wrote: “Casually doxxed her street on national TV.”

Elsewhere on Saturday’s final instalment of the 90 minute shenanigans saw the usual segments including the Happiest Minute of the Week and the final Takeaway Getaways handed out to a number of much-deserving members of the public.

Stephen Mulhern also returned to host the final of Ant vs. Dec, while regular contributors Fleur East and Andi Peters joined the presenters live in the studio for the exciting finale.

Oti Mabuse was the star of the show’s Get Out Of Me Ear segment, which saw the Geordie duo take over the Strictly star’s home in a hilarious skit.

Oti and an actress playing her neighbour pranked unsuspecting members of the public, as the dancer and television personality chatted with various guests at her home, only to be interrupted by her 'neighbour'.

The elderly neighbour appeared at the window, shouting and asking Oti if she was there as she waved a teabag in the air. Awkwardly, Oti turned to her guest and told them to pretend the neighbour wasn’t there.

In the hilarious skit, completely controlled by Ant and Dec, they told Oti to reassure her guest everything was fine, as the actress playing the neighbour was told to complain to Oti about her chucking the teabags over the fence.

"I don't have a compost heap," the elderly woman screamed as Oti tries not to laugh.

Next, Ant and Dec advised Oti to pretend to sneak out of the room and in a string of hilarious clips, Oti was seen sneaking out of the room with her different guests, including crawling along the floor as they followed her lead.

"I think that you're a bit of a ******* nutter, ain't you?" one guest told Oti, leaving Ant and Dec in hysterics.
