Saturday Night Takeaway fans slam show for messing with father's baby scan
Saturday Night Takeaway fans call out the show for their 'distasteful' prank on a new father.
Ant and Dec played a prank on a first-time dad by creating fake footage of the 4D scan of the baby.
During a visit to the hospital, a pregnant woman named Amy and her husband Liam were getting ready to have a glimpse of their baby.
An actress, posing as a sonographer, told Liam to speak to Amy's baby bump. He was shocked to witness his 'baby' wave back at him.
At one point, the fake sonographer told Liam to play peek-a-boo with his baby, and he happily gave it a go.
