Saturday Night Takeaway fans in stitches as Dec 'fuming' over Jill Scott's joke

Declan Donnelly was 'fuming' after a joke was directed at him on tonight's Saturday Night Takeaway.

He was back with his presenting partner, Ant, as they hosted their Saturday night ITV show together once more. In the studio they were joined by guest announcer and Lioness legend Jill Scott.

Welcoming her onto the show, Dec cheekily made a number of jokes about Sunderland. Jill, who reigns from the city, wasn't best pleased as she said: "Was the only reason you two invited me onto this show so that you could have a go at Sunderland?"

Dec joked: "No it's not the only reason... But it's the main reason!"

But Jill savagely hit back with a joke of her own. She said: "Well what is it then? Do you want us to get something off a high shelf in your dressing room Dec?"

Dec put his hands on his hips and stood with his mouth dropped to the floor as Ant said: "Ouch! You might need some cream for that burn."

Fans on Twitter thought the jokey introduction was hilarious, especially with how offended Dec looked. Victoria said: "Jill got you then Dec #SaturdayNightTakeaway." Ryan said: "Jill's height joke at Dec that was great #SaturdayNightTakeaway."

Joseph said: "Dec's fuming!! #SaturdayNightTakeaway." Kirsty said: "Well that was you told Declan! @antanddec nice comeback from Jill #saturdaynighttakeaway."
