Saturday Night Takeaway fans were left gobsmacked after spotting Dec Donnelly's outfit on yesterday evening's instalment of the show. Ant and Dec returned to our screens for another episode of the much-loved TV show on Saturday, March 18.
Viewers were treated to a guest appearance from Toni Collette and and a performance by Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters. During the singsong, the Geordie presenting duo appeared in full disco attire, complete with wigs, popped-collar shirts and flares - and fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Dec's choice of trousers.
The Mirror reports that viewers on Twitter claimed they felt "distracted" by the item of clothing, with one fan saying: "Those pants on Dec are definitely too tight,” as another echoed: “Those trousers on Dec,” alongside a blushing emoji.
Another exclaimed: “Dec’s trousers!” alongside a blushing emoji as another wrote: “Dec’s trousers leave little to the imagination.” The telly favourites made their grand return to the screen last month in a brand new series of the popular Saturday night entertainment show.
The latest instalment of the cheeky programme has seen cameos from the nation's favourite PE teacher, Joe Wicks, and Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman – as well as Alison Hammond and Rylan as the next unwitting victims of their very own Undercovers.
However, a certain episode attracted Ofcom complaints, as disappointed viewers complained to the broadcasting regulator over a prank involving a pregnant woman which divided fans. Viewers slammed the show as "distasteful" after hosts Ant and Dec played a prank on a first-time dad by creating fake footage of the 4D scan of the baby.
Ofcom's latest report notes 111 viewers have lodged complaints "related to the series of pranks played on a husband throughout his wife’s pregnancy." ITV and presenters Ant and Dec have yet to respond to the backlash to the divisive prank.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that the Geordie duo have had to say no to some of the suggestions from producers during the making of the show. Ant and Dec appeared on Capital Breakfast to speak with host Roman Kemp and said they felt nervous pranking Gordon Ramsay and Jeremy Clarkson, as Gordon “vows” to get back at them.
Roman asked the pair if there are any sketches producers have asked them to do but refused, to which Ant said there had been. Dec explained: “I think sometimes we sit down and they go 'we thought maybe you could do this' and we go 'no, I think that's crossing the line'.”
