Fans of Saturday Night Takeaway were left chuckling, after a person in a Shrek costume took a bit of a tumble during last night's instalment of the hit ITV show.
Usual hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly returned to the show Saturday, with their Happiest Minute of the Week slot once again becoming a fan favourite - albeit for unplanned reasons.
And comedy struck as people were given a once in a lifetime to receive tickets to Orlando, Florida as part and parcel of the end of the series show, with Ant & Dec quick to hand out tickets to deserving audience members as well as viewers watching from home - joined on stage by Shrek, Puss in Boots and a number of British Airways cabin crew.

The Mirror reports however, as they finished their happiest minute and left stage, some fans spotted that the person in the Shrek costume had fallen off stage as they tried to make their exit, followed by Puss in Boots and the other characters.
And fans rushed to social media to check they were ok, as one wrote: "Omg ! Is Shrek ok @antanddec? Poor fella falling over after the happiest minute of the week @itvtakeaway #SaturdayNighttakeaway #isshrekok."
A second, added: "Is Shrek ok? @antanddec #shrek #placeontheplane #saturdaynighttakeaway," while a third wrote: "@antanddec We need to know if Shrek is ok after his fall live on Saturday night takeaway @itv #Saturdaynighttakeaway."
Later, Stephen Mulhern confirmed that Shrek was ok as fans rushed to social media to share the clip. "I am crying at shrek falling off the stage HAHAHAHA #SaturdayNightTakeaway," one penned on Twitter whilst another added: "Shrek missing the step and falling over has creased me #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
A third, penned: "They’ve reassured that shrek is okay! Thank god! #SaturdayNightTakeaway," and a fourth, chimed in: "OMG they actually addressed Shrek falling over. IM DEAD!! #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
"Funniest thing seeing Shrek fall off the stage on #SaturdayNightTakeaway," a fifth wrote, whilst a sixth, commented: "Shrek falling over is the funniest thing I've seen all week. #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
In other scenes on the ITV show yesterday evening, Nick accepted his stepdaughter Rihanna's offer to adopt her after being her father figure all her life following her father's passing. There wasn't a dry eye in the house and it was clear how much it meant to Nick, as he cried and said: "It means everything, she’s an absolute diamond. It’s priceless."
