TV superstars Ant and Dec have been toying with the emotions of their fans on social media when Ant posted a video of his pal Dec crying.
In the video, posted on TikTok, Ant McPartlin is seen entering a room where Dec Donnelly is working at a computer reports Birmingham Live. Ant asks Dec: "Oh no, what's the matter?" Dec, clearly baffled, asked: "What?"
Ant continues to ask if Dec is ok, and then asks why he is crying. Ant asked his co-star: "You seem really upset, is everything ok with you? What are you crying for?"

Dec replied: "I'm not!" Ant then tells his long-term best pal: "Who has upset you? I'll beat them up if they've upset you!" Ant captioned the post: "Having a bawl with this one".
However, all wasn't quite as it seemed as Britain's Got Talent hosts were using a 'sad face' TikTok filter.
Ant finished off the post with the hashtag #CryingFilter. Last weekend Ant and Dec reflected on their 'inspirational' drag performance after winning the BAFTA TV award for entertainment programme for ITV's Saturday Night Takeaway.
The presenting duo transformed into Lady Antoinette and Miss Donna Lee as part of a drag queen performance on the popular Saturday night show in February. Speaking after receiving their Bafta TV award, Donnelly, 46, said the pair were "moved by how inspirational people found it".
"When we had the idea of doing the drag act, we wanted to do it properly, and we wanted to do it right, and we want to be respectful of the art form," he said. "We didn't want it to look silly, and that we slap on a bit of lipstick and eyeshadow and then walk out in wonky heels. We were like, if we're going to do this, we're going to do it properly because it is a real art form and it's a respected art form."
