Ant and Dec made a huge prize u-turn on Saturday Night Takeaway after viewers blamed a sound delay on a fan being 'robbed' of her rightful £500 prize.
After 7.3 million tuned into the first episode of the new series last week, the Geordie duo were back at the helm for another live show this weekend, when they were joined by Star Guest Announcer Gordon Ramsay.
Gordon gave this week's show two huge talking points when he swore live on air during a game of Read My Lips and then insulted a woman's teeth moments later.
Ant apologised for Gordon's swearing slip up as viewers hit out at the chef for his rude dig at the Scottish caller's teeth.
There was another sticking point to follow during what should have been a straight forward Sing-along Live as Ant and Dec welcomed the cast of 9-5 The Musical into the studio to join with viewers at home who had to join in with the right lyrics to win money.
One viewer, Dionne, took to the mic in her living room to belt out the famous line from 9 to 5's chorus "barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving," but Ant and Dec said she didn't get the key word "giving" in time.
However viewers argued, despite the fact she got the melody completely wrong, she did get the word right and blamed a sound delay on the lads not hearing her in time.
Immediately taking to Twitter, one fumed: "@antanddec she got it right. There was a sound delay. So devastated for her!!!!! #singlonglive #SaturdayNightTakeaway."
Another tweeted: "The first woman in the sing-along live should have definitely got that. There was a time delay and she was basically penalised because of that"
As more viewers took to Twitter pleading with the show to give the woman the £500 that was rightfully earned, Ant and Dec addressed the situation later in the show, saying they had "reviewed the footage" and crossed to Dionne saying: "We're feeling generous, you did get the melody completely wrong but you did get the word at the end right so you do win £500."
Viewers were equally quick to react to the u-turn, with one posting: "Nice to see @antanddec utilising #VAR on @itvtakeaway to get that woman her £500!" and another taking credit, writing: "My tweet did the trick and they’ve decided to pay that woman £500 thanks to my complaint!... #SaturdayNightTakeaway "
