Ant and Dec accuse guest of hitting the pub before Saturday Night Takeaway appearance

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly accused a Saturday Night Takeaway guest of drinking alcohol before appearing on the latest episode of the ITV show.

The much-loved duo kicked off the show with a bout of kid-e-oke, which saw three members of the audience given the chance to win some serious money.

However, it wasn't easy as the three lucky people had to listen to watch children enjoying a silent disco as they sang along to well-known songs.

The first two guests didn't guess the songs in time and won nothing, but the third woman -named Claire - managed to walk away with £300 after correctly guessing Shania Twain's Man, I Feel Like A Woman.

However, her appearance didn't exactly get off to the best start as Dec asked her: "What's your name and where are you from?"

"Hartford," she simply replied as Ant and Dec looked very confused.

"Is that your name or..." a baffled-looking Ant asked as Clare clasped her hand over her mouth looking super embarrassed.

"I knew I'd mess up," she replied, before adding: "Clare from Hartford."

However, she didn't do too badly as she managed to correctly guess the song and took home £300.

But when she made her way back to her seat in the live audience, Ant and Dec were once again confused.

"Where's she going? She's gone through the cameras and everything, she's a liability!" Dec shouted.

Ant then cheekily added: "She definitely stopped at the pub before she came here tonight!"

And it seems viewers tuning in at home agreed with him as they took to Twitter to comment.

"Claire's had one too many large vodkas. #SaturdayNightTakeaway," one person posted.

Another person claimed: "She was rather tiddly #SaturdayNightTakeaway @antanddec."

A third viewer joked: "I'll have what Claire's having #saturdaynighttakeaway," while someone else alleged: "Claire’s drunk #SaturdayNightTakeaway."

A different person tweeted: "Claire has had a few pre-show wines hasn't she #SaturdayNightTakeaway."

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway continues next weekend.
