Saturday Night Takeaway viewers were left amused by a warning issued by Ant McPartlin in relation to an incident on a previous episode. The 'happiest minute of the week', in part two of Saturday Night Takeaway, saw more audience members and viewers watching at home given a place on the plane to Florida which will be jetting off in just over a week's time.
The segment sees some of Universal's best-loved characters join Ant and Dec on stage. And, in this weekend's show, the MEN reports Ant issued a warning to a regular star on the series. Shrek made a comeback to the show after missing the previous week's episode, following an awkward tumble off the stage.
Leaving the studio Shrek had been seen to fall down to the lower ground as the other characters filtered out. Fans of the show were then left concerned last weekend when he didn't seem to appear on stage as normal and, while it may have been a coincidence, they were relieved to see him back this weekend.

As Shrek wandered around the stage, viewers heard Ant saying: "Take care Shrek. Shrek, watch yourself, watch yourself on the stairs." And they were soon taking to Twitter in amusement as they realised it was a reference to Shrek's fall earlier on in the series. @EnfieldGarry tweeted: "'Be careful Shrek' they know haha. #SaturdayNightTakeaway," with a string of crying laughing emoji.
@lydylyd said: "Them telling Shrek to watch himself #SaturdayNightTakeaway," also with a crying laughing emoji. @janwilkins59 quipped: "Ant with Shrek, care in the community lol!*! #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
Others, meanwhile, were just happy to see the green, swamp-living character back. @lmlykoo said: "Glad to see Shrek is still alive #saturdaynighttakeaway." @NoahhhESC commented: "Shrek's back and stronger than ever #SaturdayNightTakeaway." @Tyrese54275942 tweeted: "At least Shrek is ok #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
@janwilkins59 shared: "Yey, Shrek's back, I was worried when he wasn't there last week lol!*! #SaturdayNightTakeaway." @JazzyDanielsUK wrote: "Shrek has recovered #SaturdayNightTakeaway." @kenco1994x added: "Hope poor Shrek doesn’t hurt himself again #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
