Ant and Dec’s Heartwarming Reunion on Saturday Night Takeaway
Fans of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway were left in an extremely emotional state after a mother and daughter were reunited after five years apart in tear-jerking scenes. Their reunion also marked the first time that the mother, Jane from Birkenhead, had ever met her grandchild.
The Emotional Reunion
During the episode, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly selected Jane from the audience to take part in their segment called Spot The Difference. The aim of the game is simple – for the participant to spot what’s changed in a scene that’s presented to them in order to win money.
Jane was initially shocked to find Capital radio presenter Jordan North sitting in her living room wearing a pink dressing gown. The live feed was temporarily stopped to make changes to the room before resuming with a surprise.
The real surprise was revealed – the person in Jordan’s place was Jane’s daughter Holly, who has been living in Australia for five years. Saturday Night Takeaway had actually recreated Jane’s living room in the studio.
The Heartfelt Reunion
As the doors opened on stage, Holly emerged alongside her partner Lewis and their baby daughter, whom Jane had never met before. Ant led Jane to see her family, creating a touching moment for all.
The family shared a heartfelt embrace, leaving both the participants and viewers moved by the emotional reunion.

- ‘God, I was crying my flipping eyes out😢😢. This was such an amazing thing to do,’ added Julie.
