Saturday Night Takeaway fans slam Ant and Dec for ‘cruel’ prank on first time dad

SATURDAY Night Takeaway fans were left unimpressed tonight as Ant and Dec played a series of pranks on a first time dad.

Unsuspecting Liam was set up by his wife Amy, who was pregnant at the time, and was taken to a completely fake 4D scan, fake ante natal class and even a fake family photoshoot once their son was born.

During the scan, Liam was shown a baby that wasn’t his who proceeded to wave, pull the rock sign and even play hide and seek.

As the pranks were revealed as SNT returned for a new series, those watching at home took to Twitter to complain.

One person commented:  “This is cruel lmao.”

A second said: “This isn’t really very funny messing with a first time Dad’s scan experience.”

While a third commented: “I think the pregnancy prank of a fake baby scan on #SaturdayNightTakeaway isn’t funny.”

“Bit harsh the guy’s thinking he’s seeing the face of his child for the first time and ant and Dec are like not even his baby,” added a fourth.

Ant and Dec later surprised them by revealing they had set up a savings account for the baby – with a huge £18,000 in it.
