Jill Scott stuns Dec as she dishes out 'major shade' on Saturday Night Takeaway

Saturday Night Takeaway presenter Declan Donnelly was 'fuming' after a jokey dig was directed at him by I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! winner Jill Scott. The Lionesses legend was reunited with hosting duo Ant and Dec following her triumphant jungle win at the end of last year.

Welcoming her onto the show as a guest announcer, Dec cheekily made a number of jokes about the city of Sunderland where Jill hails from. She asked them good-naturedly: "Was the only reason you two invited me onto this show so that you could have a go at Sunderland?"

Dec joked: "No it's not the only reason, but it's the main reason!" Jill then clapped back with a joke of her own. She asked with a grin: "But what is it then? Do you want us to get something off a high shelf in your dressing room Dec?"

Dec's mouth dropped to the floor as his co-host Ant McPartlin cried: "Ouch! You might need some cream for that burn." And fans flocked to Twitter in stitches at the joke.

@DPCFC said: "Jill Scott absolutely hilarious as usual." @wattsoccuring remarked: "A-Grade shade Jill Scott!" And @RyanTheSoapking laughed: "Jill's height joke at Dec that was great."

@KBMarketing applauded: "Well that was you told declan! @antanddec nice comeback from jill." @hollycarruthers scolded Ant and Dec: "2 mins in and already slating Sunderland behave yous two." And @Boppity_Boo34 said: "Jill got you then Dec."
