Saturday Night Takeaway fans distracted by Dec's trousers that 'left little to imagination'

ITV viewers of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway were left blushing as the iconic duo donned disco costumes for the finale segment of the show.

The pair returned for another installment of the popular show, with a live audience in the studio and Hollywood actress Toni Collette serving as this week's guest announcer.

The I’m a Celebrity hosts were dancing along to Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters, as he appeared to give a disco End of the Show Show performance for ITV viewers.

Both of them donned wigs, V-necks with popped collars, and flare trousers, but many fans at home were left distracted by Dec’s choice of trousers, which they said ‘left little to the imagination’.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Those pants on Dec are definitely too tight,” as another echoed: “Those trousers on Dec,” alongside a blushing emoji.

Another exclaimed: “Dec’s trousers!” alongside a blushing emoji as another wrote: “Dec’s trousers leave little to the imagination.”

The Geordie pair hit screens once again last month with a fresh installment of the long-running series, giving ITV viewers the happiest ninety minutes of the week.

The latest series of the cheeky show has billed cameos from the nation's favourite PE teacher Joe Wicks and Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman – as well as Alison Hammond and Rylan as the next unwitting victims of their very own Undercovers.

Yet this popular Saturday night show series has already attracted Ofcom complaints as disappointed viewers complained to the broadcasting regulator over a prank involving a pregnant woman which divided fans.

Viewers called the show 'distasteful', as hosts Ant and Declan played a prank on a first-time dad by creating fake footage of the 4D scan of the baby.

Ofcom's latest report notes 111 viewers have lodged complaints "related to the series of pranks played on a husband throughout his wife’s pregnancy."

ITV and presenters Ant and Dec have yet to respond to the backlash to the divisive prank.

It comes after the Geordie duo revealed that they have turned down some of the suggestions from producers during the making of the show.

Ant and Dec appeared on Capital Breakfast to speak with Roman Kemp and said they felt nervous pranking Gordon Ramsay and Jeremy Clarkson, as Gordon “vows” to get back at them.

Roman asked the duo if there were any sketches producers have asked them to do but refused, to which Ant said there had been.

Dec explained: “I think sometimes we sit down and they go 'we thought maybe you could do this' and we go 'no, I think that's crossing the line'.”
