    Ant McPartlin caused chaos in the finale episode of Saturday Night Takeaway as they filmed the show live from Florida.

    The Geordie presenter was joined by his usual co-host Dec Donnelly and a surprise celebrity guest, Nicole Scherzinger, who made her return to British TV via the show.

    As he filmed a short segment with Nicole, Ant attempted to clap a clapperboard at the end of her challenge to win the audience money but accidentally broke it during the excitement of the game.

    Embarrassed by the on-air gaffe, Ant cried: "It fell apart in the heat!"

    Luckily he was able to use the top half of the clapperboard to perform the small gesture.

    Elsewhere in the show, things went wrong for co-host Stephen Mulhern after he dropped to the floor during his In For A Cent segment.

    The comedian was hit in the face with pie which sent him off balance and eventually to the floor as he skated around on roller-skates as he joined the Geordie duo for the finale episode.

    Before the end of the episode, Ant and Dec welcomed on an audience member to take part in their Win The Ads segment which could see them win a holiday to the Caribbean, a large cash prize and other amazing goodies. 

    However after trading the holiday and the cash prize that he'd already won on the show for a chance to win everything on the screen, the guest answered incorrectly and unfortunately lost everything.

    Ant was clearly gutted for the guy and said that he "wanted to end on a high" but had to take away all the prizes from them. Ant said that he'd pack some Saturday Night Takeaway toilet roll for him and bring it back on the flight to the UK.
