Ant McPartlin had a giggle when he had an on-air accident this weekend during Saturday Night Takeaway’s live grand finale.
Television host Ant headlined the show alongside Declan Donnelly with the help of singer Nicole Scherzinger of Florida’s Universal Orlando Resort.
But proceedings didn’t go to plan when Ant, 47, got in trouble with a prop while doing a piece on camera with Nicole, 44.
As the pair played Saturday Night At The Movies — in which Nicole tried to guess what movies viewers were playing at home over a video link — Ant held a clapperboard to the camera, but half of it broke off, leaving him puzzled.
“It fell apart in the heat!” he exclaimed.

Ant was still able to continue the game, using only the top half of the clapperboard.
Fans of the show took to Twitter during the live finale and expressed their sadness that the current series was coming to an end.
One person wrote, “#SaturdayNightTakeaway sad it’s ending. Absolutely love the show and watch every Saturday!”
‘Get upset, it’s the last episode of the series! #SaturdayNightTakeaway,” someone else wrote, while another viewer posted, “Not ready to be the last #SaturdayNightTakeaway for another year.”
Someone else posted, “The problem with watching literally every TV show is the fact that it has to end and eventually the final episode comes sooner than any other.”
While another viewer tweeted, “Still can’t believe this is the last episode of #saturdaynighttakeaway.”
Someone else wrote before the show started: “#SaturdayNightTakeaway in a few hours, however, it will be the last… sad times.”
It comes after Ant and Dec unveiled the first nine celebrities to take part in the all-stars spin-off of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! on a recent episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.
