Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is known for creating laughs and has been crowned the happiest 90 minutes of the week on ITV1. And on Saturday, March 24 viewers found the episode even funnier than normal when Ant and Dec were dunked into freezing ice baths by Stephen Mulhern.
While taking part in one of the show's regular feature Ant vs Dec, the hosting duo were dangled over two ice baths and with every wrong answer lowered closer to the bath. Although Ant lost the challenge and dropped into the ice bath first a cheeky Stephen decided that Dec should suffer too.
Despite Dec's many protests of "Don't you dare! Don't you dare!... Stephen! Don't you dare! Stop it! Stop it!", Stephen plunged Dec into the ice bath. Both presenters were left shocked, prompting some hilarious facial expressions with both lost for words once in the baths.
