ITV Saturday Night Takeaway hit with complaints over live audience segment
Fans of ITV’s Saturday Night Takeaway have called out the show over its new live segment.
Last night the nation sat down to watch the show’s ‘Ring My Bell’ competition; where people can win £500 at random.
One of the audience member’s video doorbells is picked at random, and is then shown on the big screen.

If someone in the audience recognises the camera footage as their home, they are required to stand up and say: “Ding Dong! That’s my doorbell.”
Someone in their neighbourhood, if they recognise who the house belongs to, then has 45 seconds to run up to the house and ring their doorbell.
They then need to say: “Ring my bell!” in order to also win £500.
A lot of viewers questioned whether the segment was staged as they wondered how people got to the homes so fast, reports the Mirror.
Taking to Twitter, one user said: ” SaturdayNightTakeaway mhm I feel like this segment is staged lmao.”
Another noticed how a confetti cannon went off at the ‘random’ houses.

“It is fixed though as they’ve got confetti installed at their door,” they said with a laughing emoji.
One viewer added: “That’s so fixed !” while one posted: “Each house had a person with a party popper and a video link outside it.”
Although some were skeptical of the quick and easy game, most were enjoying the wholesome moment.
Fans took to social media to beg ITV for Ring My Doorbell to become a regular feature in the show.
“Ring my Doorbell. Blooming brilliant! Make it a regular feature pleeeeeaaaaaase!” one asked.
Another exclaimed: “Ring my bell needs to be on every SNT episode now, that was hilarious.”
“Whoever came up with that game needs a promotion and a pay rise,” one said.
