What was the Ring My Bell segment on Saturday Night Takeaway?
After asking who had a video doorbell at home, Ant explained the game to the audience.
“We know who has got a video doorbell in this audience and we’re going to go live to one of them right now,” he said.
Dec continued: “If it is yours, we want you to get up on your feet if you recognise it and shout: ‘Ding dong that’s my doorbell’.
“And if you’re watching at home you’ve got a part to play in this as well because if you recognise the person or the street we’re going to give you 45 seconds to get there, ring their doorbell and shout ‘Ring my bell’.
“The first person to do that will win £500 for themselves and £500 for the person in the audience.”
What did fans say about the Ant and Dec game?
Most fans watching at home thought it was an absolutely hilarious segment, but for some dog owners it was annoying!
“Literally had to mute it every time someone was running towards the doorbell,” said one.
Another added: “Yes thanks for that, I had to mute the telly at the third one.”
