To mark its departure they hosted a two-hour live extravaganza and brought back some of the show’s most popular segments.

One was Ring My Bell, but with a twist, with three members of the audience competing to win £500.

The trio had to wait and see which of their neighbours arrived at the video doorbell with an item from the fridge.

But once that had been completed, Ant and Dec revealed the three neighbours had a second challenge, and the prize would be a Takeaway Getaway for them and the person in the audience.

Dec revealed the neighbours had to bring a duvet, a hat and a wheelie bin to the door to win, and the Stevenage neighbour gathered the items first.

But Ant quickly shouted that he needed to ring the doorbell again and say the right phrase, prompting the neighbour to say ‘Oh s**t’.

Ant quickly said: “Apologies for any swearing from Mr Stevenage there.”

Saturday Night Takeaway viewers took to X – formerly Twitter – to discuss the chaos the segment always brings.

One wrote: “Naughty Ben swearing. Ring My Bell.”

Another added: “Apologising for swearing then they crack a joke about his helmet being on show! Brilliant!”

Meanwhile, viewers were also left in hysterics at a ‘miserable’ winner of a Takeaway Getaway.

Jordan North, Josie Gibson and Scarlett Moffatt surprised two diners at a restaurant in Battersea including a lollypop lady called Sandy during the Happiest Minute of the Week.

But as Scarlett read out her achievements, Sandy held onto her cocktail with her food sitting in front of her and struggled to react.

As Scarlett tried to hand her the ticket, she had to force it into Sandy’s other hand before telling her she had to leave the restaurant and go with them on a speedboat up the Thames to the studio.

One fan said on X: “Bl***y hell. How miserable did she look winning that takeaway holiday.”

Another added: “Sandy’s like I want me drink and dinner.”
