Last night's episode of ITV Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway left viewers worried, after one of its stars suffered a small accident live on air. The mishap didn't go unnoticed by viewers, who spotted it in the background.
The popular ITV Saturday night show was going smoothly, with Ant and Dec's 'minute of happiness' feature - which is popular amongst viewers - giving everyone the dose of feel good we all need at the minute. During the feature, the Geordie duo dished out tickets to Orlando as part of the end of the series show.
Appearing alongside Ant and Dec were some familiar faces, who people are likely to see on a trip to Orlando's theme parks. Characters such as Shrek, Puss in Boots and Trolls joined Ant and Dec for the giveaway bonanza.
However, as they finished their happiest minute and left the stage, some fans spotted that the person in the Shrek costume had fallen off stage as they tried to make their exit, followed by Puss in Boots and the other characters.
Fans rushed to social media to check they were ok, as one wrote: "Omg ! Is Shrek ok @antanddec? Poor fella falling over after the happiest minute of the week @itvtakeaway #SaturdayNighttakeaway #isshrekok."
"Is Shrek ok? @antanddec #shrek #placeontheplane #saturdaynighttakeaway," a second added, with a third wrote: " @antanddec We need to know if Shrek is ok after his fall live on Saturday night takeaway @itv #Saturdaynighttakeaway."
While some were worried for the Saturday Night Takeaway star, others found it hilarious. Some viewers couldn't help but laugh out loud after watching the scenes., says the Mirror

Later, Stephen Mulhern confirmed that Shrek was ok as fans rushed to social media to share the clip. Stopping the show mid-air, the presenter provided the audience with a health update.
He halted the show to announce: "Don't worry if you saw Shrek fall off the stage earlier in the programme. Don't fear, he's in A&E', but quickly reassured the audience that the man inside the costume was actually okay. Stephen said: "I'm joking, he's fine."
