Saturday Night Takeaway game goes wrong as fans complain and demand 'justice' as neighbour caught up in show

It's a highlight of Saturday Night Takeaway and hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly had viewers in stitches as the popular segment Ring My Bell made a chaotic comeback. In the game the popular duo give neighbours 45 seconds to get to a front door and declare "ring my bell" if they recognise it as belonging to an audience member.

Audience members stand up to shout “Ding Dong! That’s my Doorbell!”, prompting the nearby neighbours to sprint to their house for the chance to speak to Ant and Dec through the doorbell camera on the live show. Participants are asked to bring an item with them.

But the hilarious game went wrong on Saturday night (April 1) as Ant and Dec tried to talk to a woman outside the house, called Cynthia, through the doorbell. When they asked if she had dirty laundry with her, which was their request for the game, she seemed puzzled and it was unclear if she was there for Ring My Bell or to visit her neighbour who confirmed from the audience that she knew her.
