ANT and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway viewers can’t wait for the show to end next week after a less than impressive prank sketch tonight.
The prank section - titled I’m A Celebrity Get Out of My Ear: The Revenge - saw Ant fall victim to previous prank victims Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
He was interviewing unsuspecting pest control workers and had an ear-piece in to act how the two presenters told him to.
But the various pranks that saw him ask the pest controllers to feed him, play a voicemail about breaking Gordon Ramsay’s toilet and spraying them with disinfectant didn’t exactly amuse fans.
Some of them hit out at the section, thankful that the show was taking an extended break soon.

A fourth commented: “#SaturdayNightTakeaway this is just bloody stupid, unfunny and ridiculous.”
A fifth said: “The prank section was not funny, such a shame.... #SaturdayNightTakeaway”
Another added: “#SaturdayNightTakeaway this segment is not funny so far.”
However when Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden stepped into the booth to put Dec through his paces with some party planners - viewers found it much funnier.
Dec was forced to hide under a table and announce himself, stuff his mouth full of banana to speak and stare at the party planners until it was painfully uncomfortable.
