ITV's Saturday Night Takeaway fans in stitches at Claudia Winkleman's awkward undercover Ikea mission

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway fans were left in stitches during tonight's episode as Claudia Winkleman had to go on an undercover mission.

The Traitor's presenter was tasked with heading to an Ikea store with a secret ear piece in and had to follow all of Ant and Dec's instructions which can most of the time be very awkward.

The segment saw Claudia looking a bit nervous as she had to walk around the store and follow the demands of the mischievous Geordie duo.

As the TV favourite set off on her mission, Ant gave Claudia her first instruction, he said: "Claudia, grab a trolley you are off shopping" before she browses the shelves.

"Hiya, how are you?" continues Ant in her ear as he tells her to say the same to a member of staff.

Ant then directs Claudia to say: "Excuse me, can I get some help please?" however, Claudia cant help but giggle as she takes on the undercover challenge.

She apologises before continuing to repeat after Ant: "You know those wooden things, I just need a bit of help I am so sorry", the shop worker replies: "Chopping board?"

Claudia then adds: "Wooden, I haven't finished," as she bursts out into fits of laughter.

Things turned a bit chaotic as the pair made her throw wooden spoons over her shoulder, taste a cake and then put it back on the shelf and get into a bed with strangers in the store.

And fans were in stitches of laughter as they watched along, with many taking to Twitter.

One penned: "pls the claudia winkleman thing was SO FUNNY."
