Saturday Night Takeaway hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were a little lost for words after Alan Partridge took aim at P&O Ferries - not awkward at all 😅
800 employees were sacked via ZoomDuring the penultimate episode, the presenters wrapped up a game of Kiddie-oke, and Ant asked Steve Coogan’s alter ego – who was the guest announcer for the evening – what his thoughts were.‘Although when I saw what you were paying those children I was appalled, I said that they would be better off working for that ferry company you said I wasn’t allowed to mention because of ITV guidelines,’ he added.
Members of the studio audience gasped in shock over the quip, and the camera quickly turned to Ant and Dec – who were too stunned to speak.Alan’s remarks didn’t go unnoticed by viewers at home, and while some branded his comments ‘harmless,’ others weren’t too impressed. ‘#saturdaynighttakeaway I don’t think all the sacked P&O workers would have found Alan Partridge’s joke funny,’ one person tweeted.A viewer who held a contrasting viewer, weighed in: ‘Alan partridge was a bold choice for Saturday takeaway, especially because I don’t think younger people would get it. but I personally loved it the p&o joke.’— Liz Robinson
