Ant 'breaks' camera on Saturday Night Takeaway and viewers can't believe it

Saturday Night Takeaway viewers still can't believe the huge mistake that host Ant McPartlin made on the show at the weekend.

The new series of Ant and Dec's popular programme has given us a number of talking points already with its first three episodes.

The first saw a Newcastle family given a £200,000 dream house for free and the Pussycat Dolls performance spark Ofcom complaints.

And then a week later, Anne-Marie and ITV were forced to apologise after the Ciao Adios singer's star turn on the show featured Ant and Dec wearing karate uniforms and bandanas carrying the controversial Rising Sun flag.

The most recent episode on Saturday, March 7 has also attracted its fair share of attention. A couple's 'inappropriate' kiss has prompted Ofcom complaints and the show also left viewers at home in shock because of something Ant did during the live broadcast.

He and best pal Dec had been using cameras to film the audiences from their point of view before Ant threw his to one of the crew members, Alan.

But then in an unfortunate turn of events the camera didn't reach Alan and instead crashed to the floor, much to the horror of people watching in the studio and at home.

One took to Twitter to post: "This made my photographer heart and soul HURT. Why would you throw that?!"

Another added: "I can't believe Ant threw that camera like he was throwing a football back to someone and Dec's scream is the funniest thing." and a third wrote: "The beauty of live TV. Dec's scream suggests that wasn't planned."
