Saturday Night Takeaway viewers spot 'flaw' with new game as they pick up on the same issue

Saturday Night Takeaway fans were vocal after a new phone game was introduced on Saturday night's episode (March 4). Viewers flocked to Twitter after hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly brought in show favourite Fleur East for Who You Gonna Call? on the ITV family show.

To win a 'place on the plane' for the final from Universal Orlando Resort, Florida, Fleur randomly selected phones taken from audience members ahea of the show. Fleur then video-called friends and family stored in the phone and if three answered the owner of the phone got their place on the dream trip.

There was laughter as one contestant Naz revealed he had his mother-in-law stored as 'Our Brenda.' "I'm going to go with my mother-in-law, she's saved as our Brenda on my phone. O-U-R," he said. And it worked because Naz went on to win a holiday. Naz said: "I'm lost for words, I'm genuinely lost for words."

But viewer @lucyann317 pointed out a potential problem. "I just KNOW none of my friends would answer the phone if I started randomly face timing them," they said.

@CaseyHorgan_ echoed: "I don’t even know 1 person who I could rely on to answer the phone within 20 seconds let alone 3 people who I’d call." @veepsx also said: "Mate no one would answer my phone call." And @EnfieldGarry tweeted: "If I did that no one would pick up their phones."

Fleur East made the calls (ITV)



@garyhayles85 asked: "Why don't they choose to call themselves? Fleur has to answer and there in the studio anyway." @karimahbang said: "I would be the best mate to call for this show, I always have my phone in my hand." And @DavidMackayy commented: "I would literally phone my brother, mum and dad cos we all live in the same house, this is so easy."
