Dermot O’Leary trashes a busy supermarket in sneak peek at hilarious Saturday Night Takeaway prank as hit show returns
DERMOT O’Leary wreaked havoc in a busy supermarket for an hilarious Saturday Night Takeaway prank.
The This Morning star was fed instructions by hosts Ant and Dec through an earpiece as he sent goods crashing to the floor and yelled at the top of his lungs leaving shoppers bemused.
Dermot had to muster the courage to follow the orders and looked apprehensive before emptying a trolley of eggs.
Before turning over the trolley, Dermot held up a carton and yelled: “What show do I present? The Eggs Factor.”
He then sprinted away, yelling: “See ya later, losers.”
Dermot’s prank went more smoothly than his co-star Alison Hammond’s, who also features in the show.
Ant and Dec admitted they panicked when the “high-risk” stunt with Alison went wrong.
She stormed off as she was secretly filmed by the Geordie duo as part of their Undercover prank series.
Speaking on The One Show ahead of Saturday Night Takeaway return, Dec said: “That is the one that nearly went absolutely haywire.
“It was supposed to be an overnight stay, but she got to reception and said ‘I’m not staying here’ and walked out.
“She got in the car and said ‘take me home’.”
Ant added: “We had to do anything we could just to keep her there.”
Dec said: “That’s the closest we’ve been to it falling apart.”
“It’s genuine panic you can see in our faces,” laughed Ant.
