In the clip, a set of garden-style fences can be seen near the main Saturday Night Takeaway stage, each being decorated with flowers and a fake grass prop.

At the beginning of the video, we see a montage of both Ant and Dec hiding behind the fences, while trying not to be spotted by each other as they make their way to the button as best as they can. 

Ant, thinking the coast is clear, reaches out from one of the fences near the front to touch the button, before the video comes to an end.

Elsewhere on Saturday Night Takeaway, fans were left in stitches over Davina McCall’s appearance on the show in the latest Get Out Of My Ear stint.

The TV presenter, 53, proved she was a good sport as she allowed Ant and Dec to feed her instructions via a secret earpiece in a bid to fool unsuspecting members of the public.

And despite Davina admitting she initially had reservations about taking part in the sketch, her segment went down a storm with viewers, with one remarking that it was ‘the funniest thing I’ve seen’ in a long time.

During the sketch, The Masked Singer panellist had to pretend she was launching a new fitness app, while members of the public were drafted in to help test out the activities.

However, under the guidance of Ant and Dec, Davina turned them scratching their heads as she pretended to be a trout, used a body double and even ‘accidentally’ left her mic on when she went to the toilet.

One viewer tweeted: ‘Okay Davina is saving ant and dec this week.’

Another remarked: ‘@ThisisDavina on Get Out Of My Ear is one of the best they’ve done!!’

‘Okay, the Davina thing was very funny. Shouldn’t only be one funny thing in the whole show,’ wrote a third.
