Chaos on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway after unsuspecting neighbour caught on camera during Ring My Bell game

Chaos erupted on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway tonight when a neighbour turned up for a visit during the Ring My Bell game.

Since its debut on the ITV show last year, Ring My Bell has become a favourite with Takeaway fans. An unsuspecting member of the studio audience has their Ring doorbell 'hijacked' by Ant and Dec, who then issue an appeal to any neighbours watching at home to dash to the front door with an item of their instruction.

This evening saw Ant and Dec requesting some dirty laundry from Hannah's house in Birmingham. However, before any neighbours could arrive with dirty laundry, her neighbour Cynthia arrived at the door, not seeming to be aware of the game on the programme.

As Ant and Dec tried to establish which neighbour had rung the bell first, Cynthia's face and ear filled the screen as she tried to hear what the hosts were saying. After a short period of "chaos", according to Ant, they settled on a woman in a white cardigan winning the £500 prize, who had run across the street with dirty laundry.

However, it was Cynthia who fans took to their heart with one posting on Twitter: "This is chaos. Cynthia is amazing! Get her a place on the plane."

Another added: "Aww god bless Cynthia she’s made me proper belly laugh sticking her ear to the doorbell." A third said: "Cynthia! Please give her the money, she's cute."

Even guest announcer Rob Beckett was a fan, adding: I think Cynthia's got a big future in TV by the way, I'll be her agent."

However, not everyone was impressed by the duo's behaviour, especially Ant's. One Twitter user said: "Noooo! You MUST give Cynthia a prize not just laugh and belittle her!"

Another added: "Imagine not giving the £500 to an elderly lady who seems hard of hearing. Ant’s little dig at the end too. What the hell?"
