Dec Donnelly jokes about “smashing” co-presenter in the face

Andi Peters mocked the star's height during the Lorraine show

During a segment on Lorraine Wednesday morning, presenter Andi Peters was sent to Disneyland in Florida to advertise the latest competition for the show.

The presenter was seen meeting up with Geordie presenting duo, Ant and Dec, as viewers also had the chance to win a prize giveaway on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.

After getting the main competition out of the way, they started to get excited about going on the rides.

But as Ant suggested: “Let’s hit Big Thunder Mountain,” Andi cheekily snorted that Dec’s height might be a problem.

The Former children’s TV presenter said: “Um… has anyone told you about the height restriction.”

Faux-annoyed by the comment, Dec was seen being held back by co-presenter Ant as he declared: “I’m going to smash his face in.”

Ha, ha. The jokey scrap certainly put a spring in ever

In other news, Ant and Dec faced a pretty awkward moment when they hosted the first episode of this year’s Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.

The embarrassing moment came as a result of Stephen Mulhern’s stunt going slightly wrong.

The plan was for Stephen to be catapulted out of a cannon, but slow camera work meant viewers at home saw Stephen sink lower into the cannon instead of ‘flying out’.

With no room for errors on live TV, the presenting duo made a joke about what happened.

Ant said: “It didn’t go quite as well as planned.”

Dec added: “Not like it was in rehearsals, was it.”

Luckily, viewers saw the funny side and so did presenter Stephen.

He said: “I’ve sacked the cameraman.”

Despite the slight mishap, viewers branded the show “hilarious”.

Aww, we’d forgive these guys pretty much anything!

Saturday Night Takeaway continues at 7pm Saturday on ITV.
