Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway 2021 rocked by intruder?

Pictures obtained by The Sun appear to show a man being led away by security outside London’s Television Centre.

It is claimed the unnamed gatecrasher was close to where Ant and Dec were due to film outside with Andi Peters.

Entertainment Daily has contacted ITV for comment.

The ongoing pandemic means the live studio audience has been replaced with a virtual one.

There is also social distancing in place between Ant and Dec and the show’s celebrity guests.

On Saturday night, the presenters were joined by television presenter Davina McCall for I’m A Celebrity Get Out Of Me Ear.

A favourite with viewers, the segment sees celebrities prank the general public at the hands of Ant and Dec.

Viewers ‘crying with laughter’

Fans were left in hysterics as Davina tricked a group of people into thinking they were recording an exercise app with her.

This included making the unsuspecting group perform yoga poses including the ‘Silly Sausage’ and ‘The Lazy Trout’.

One Twitter user said during the hilarious clip: “Oh my, actual crying tears of laughter.”

Meanwhile, the latest instalment of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway also included a performance from Tom Jones.

The legendary Welsh singer took part in the show’s End Of The Show Show.

Fans were also left giggling after a viewer won a staggering £5,000 to spend at online card retailer Moonpig.

After the show had finished, one fan tweeted Ant and Dec, saying: “What a brilliant show again tonight. Loved every minute, best entertainers ever!”
