Ant gets a thumbs up from Dec over dinner disaster
Declan Donnelly gave Ant McPartlin a thumbs up tonight as he made fun of his presenting partner's mishap in the kitchen.
During the first show of the new series of Saturday Night Takeaway, Donnelly put his thumbs up as he said, "Yeah we're happy to be back! Is everybody happy?"
McPartlin jokingly took offence, asking the audience, "A thumbs up? That's in bad taste like isn't it?" before showing his bandaged thumb.
As Dec explained Ant "accidentally cut off a bit of his thumb", he corrected him saying, "Most of it actually", adding, "I was very brave!"
Ant told the audience the injury has "completely turned my life upside down". "There are so many things I can no longer do ... like hitchhiking, I can't do that".
As Dec highlighted he has never been hitchhiking, Ant said, "And now I never will".
After jokingly asking Dec to nominate him for a Pride of Britain award as "you can't nominate yourself", his partner offered him some advice.
"Just remember everybody is on your side, I'm on your side, all the crew there are on your side, the whole audience, you're on his side, you're behind him aren't you?" Dec asked as ... they showed him their giant foam thumbs up.
"Put them down", Ant said before laughing.
