This Morning and Lorraine viewers convinced Ant and Dec cause havoc for Takeaway prank

Bemused viewers became convinced that Ant and Dec were causing chaos on ITV on Monday after incredibly odd moments on both Lorraine and This Morning.

One of the funniest parts of the lads' Saturday Night Takeaway is the hilarious I'm A Celebrity Get Outta Me Ear sketch, which having claimed victims like Cheryl and Louis Walsh in the past, has brought an unforgettable prank with Harry and Jamie Redknapp in the new series.

If you're not familiar with it, it basically it involves Ant and Dec 'controlling' a celebrity via en ear piece, getting them to say all sorts of inappropriate and random things in situations involving unsuspecting members of the public.

And ITV viewers were sure that Geordie duo were up to their tricks again on Monday as Lorraine Kelly and then This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby behaved very strangely during their respective shows.

Fans started to smell a rat when Lorraine chatted to YouTube star and rapper KSI. Lorraine was spotted yawning very obviously while KSI told her about his stint on Celebrity Bake Off and complained about a fly while batting it away.

She asked him: "Don't mug me off, how was it, was it a happy experience, did you enjoy it?"

As KSI sat there looking completely baffled by what was going on, Lorraine then said: "I've got a bit of cramp in my leg.

"I wish that you were here so you could help me, I will just walk it off, it's poppycock!"

Holly struggles to say 'a big whisk' on This Morning

The odd behaviour didn't end there though as, what should have been a straight forward cookery demonstration from chef James Martin on This Morning took an odd turn as Phillip and Holly started acting up.

James was showing the pair how to make chocolate choux buns when firstly Holly said she needed a wee and then got up out of her seat and said she was looking for salt, before beat boxing along to the sound of the mixer as James whisked eggs.

Barely able to keep a straight face, she said: "Beat the eggs to the beat" before remarking: "oooh that's a big, big whisk. I nearly said big bush!"

As James put nibbed almonds on the buns, Holly asked: "Can you choose any sort of nut?" and then as she gave a sideways look, she added: "Don't tell me what to do. If I want to put something else on top of it, I think I should be allowed to."

The weirdness continued as, while James stood there absolutely clueless, Holly and Phillip kept saying they could heard a noise in the studio.

And people watching at home were 100% convinced it was Ant and Dec pulling the strings behind the scenes.

One tweeted: "Oh @antanddec.. hilarious! Full ITV Get out of me ear is it?" and another posted: "What is happening on itv today? First Lorraine acting strange, now Holly? And now Phil? It’s like Ant and Dec are up to no good behind the scenes! "

A third reacted: "First Lorraine and now Holly and Phil. This has Ant and Dec written all over it!"
