Ant and Dec issued a challenge to Saturday Night Takeaway viewers to spot the flamingo during tonight's episode of the hit ITV show.

The duo took to Twitter before the show started to tease fans with an item that they were going to hide somewhere on the set.

The pair told fans:"The item we’ll be hiding in tonight’s show is… the flamingo!

All you need to do is spot it, screenshot it and tweet us a pic using the hashtags #ICanSeeYourThing #SaturdayNightTakeaway for a chance to win absolutely nothing!"

The challenge was met with a mixed response with many sharing their thoughts on social media.

One viewer replied:"i was actually going to do it til i saw what the prize was".

While another fan admitted they missed the show's Takeaway Rainbow feature:"I'd love to see your flamingo... but what I really want to see is your rainbow".

Some fans were watching out for the flamingo actively and were quick to share their snaps on social media.

"Woo hoo, I spy a pink flamingo!," one user posted excitedly.

Paired with a pic of the flamingo on set, another fan wrote:"The excitement I got finding this! Wild Saturday nights."

Lots of viewers seemed to find the flamingo without too much difficulty, many shared pictures of themselves with their pets and some even featured their kids.

But others took the challenge a little less seriously and it resulted in some hilarious memes.

Others shared some funny Tiktok videos, Flamingo Gifs and more which we think might be better than the challenge itself.

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway airs on Saturdays at 7pm on ITV.
