Davina McCall gets emotional at seeing Ant & Dec in studio for Saturday Night Takeaway appearance

Davina McCall admitted to feeling rather 'emotional' when joining Ant and Dec in the Saturday Night Takeaway studio this weekend.

The former Big Brother host turned Masked Singer panellist was the latest victim of the always hilarious I'm A Celebrity Get Out of Me Ear sketch, which has already seen Harry and Jamie Redknapp give us a slice of TV gold so far this series.

But before she, and millions of viewers, at home saw her be pranked in a gym style set-up, Davina walked into the studio to a hearty applause from the virtual audience at home, and sat appropriate distance apart from Ant and Dec, telling them: "I actually feel a bit emotional at seeing you both there in the flesh I'm like....hey!" before putting her hands on her cheeks.

Dec replied: "'Cos you haven't seen many people!" before revealing that presenter and fitness guru Davina had said in the past that she'd always wanted to do I'm A Celebrity Get Out of Me Ear but was too scared to do it.

Asking her why she changed her mind, Davina joked: "I think I've just become a meaner person as I've got older.

"You have to, you just have to lean into it and I just didn't ant to do it until I knew that I could give you everything I had."

Ant replied: "Oh you certainly did," before Dec joked: "It sounds like a proposal!"
