Saturday Night Takeaway is back to add sparkle to Saturday nights.
Fans have been loving the return of the family entertainment show and have been in stitches watching exciting new games such as Ring My Doorbell.
Even their dogs being sent into a barking frenzy over the sound of ringing doorbells on TV wasn't enough to deter many fans' enjoyment.
But in the latest episode (March 5) a new idea fell flat with many viewers.
The game The Masked Humdinger saw a fan called Laura plucked from the live studio audience to join hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for a reboot of the popular ITV guessing game The Masked Singer.
However instead of guessing which celebrities were hiding behind elaborate costumes, including bagpipes and a bush baby, Laura and star panel Paloma Faith, Craig Revel Horwood and Fleur East had to work out which members of her family were singing for her.
Ant and Dec then aired a 'humdinger' of a family secret shared between Laura and her relatives.
The segement was slammed as 'awful' and 'cringe.'
@YouBearsssssss tweeted: "CringeI Love this Show BUT This section Is honestly AWFUL...... #SaturdayNightTakeaway #SNT."
@RyanGTweetsTV complained: "This is a very awkward game."
@peteb1359_pete said: "This is failing badly .. going on too long , the stories are boring it’s verging on cringe."
@Zeo2113 wrote: "I can't remember the last time #SaturdayNightTakeaway had a weak opening... This is dragging on way too long."
@jo21040 said: "Love The Masked Singer but this is just a bit cringe."
@OpheliaPussy asked: "How long is this segment going on for? If anyone finds a ‘will to live’ under the sofa, can I have it back please?"
And @LaraKou75 tweeted: "Not liking this masked singer segment."
Viewers cringed as Laura didn't realise it was her own mum performing on stage.
While others were asking how the panel and viewers watching at home were supposed to work out who her family members were.
@JoannieTaylor75 asked: "How were we meant to know it was her mum?" Never met the woman."
And @Sezzarid said: "#SaturdayNightTakeaway like having to look at someones holiday snaps."
But @Coal_Hill_Quill cheered: "This is v funny."
And other fans said they were crying over the final big reveal, which turned out to be Laura's daughter who she hadn't seen in two years with her family.
@vaseysvoyages said: "20 mins in and I’m crying at #SaturdayNightTakeaway so happy for Laura being reunited with her daughter and grandsons."
And @RyanGTweetsTV said: "I'm happy for Laura. I just wish they did the reunion straight away without the unnecessary faff before it."
