For the second part of the game, contestant Brenda – watching at home – had to maintain a strict poker face as three women pretending to be her daughter each told a different story about an item to the celebs in the studio. The celebs then had to guess which was the real daughter.

After two had played the game and the daughters came back into the studio, Ant and Dec told the two contestants that their daughters had some very special news for them – they were both pregnant!

However, one of the contestants, Brenda from Durham, didn’t immediately jump for joy after the news was revealed.

Dec joked: “I think Brenda’s pleased? She looks furious but I think she’s pleased.”

Shortly after, they told both contestants they had also won a free holiday to Malta – and Brenda exploded with glee, screaming in her living room.

Her reaction on the show got viewers talking on social media.
