Saturday Night Takeaway finale descends into chaos as Ant McPartlin is forced ... trends now
The last ever episode of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway took a chaotic turn, after a contestant accidentally swore during a hilarious segment.
The presenting duo brought an end to the beloved series after 22 years with a supersized two-hour special, featuring a bumper lineup that included Amanda Holden, Holly Willoughby, S Club 7 and Girls Aloud.
One of the show's most popular segments was Ring My Bell, where contestants' neighbours had to frantically rush to ring their doorbell in a bid to win £500.
But once the challenge was complete, it was revealed the neighbours had to complete a second challenge, to win money and a Takeaway Getaway for themselves and the contestants watching in the studio.
Tasked with grabbing a hat, a duvet and a wheelie bin, the contestant from Stevenage rushed back to the front door with the items.
