SATURDAY Night Takeaway fans have complained about its new virtual audience wall – saying they can’t hear the show.
Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly returned to the ITV hit last night with a huge screen showing viewers watching at home.
However, many complained that the sound blasting out of the thing was ruining their enjoyment of the show.
Others begged producers to stick the 300 living rooms across the country on mute.
One tweeted: “I’m hearing everything echoed through the live audience” while another wrote: “Can we get the audience to mute their mics?? It sounds proper messy.”
A third complained the noise was overshadowing the acts, saying: “Turn down the virtual audience. Can’t hear @GaryBarlow or @Beverleyknight or see them either.”
Dec Donnelly, 45, introduced Saturday Night Takeaway‘s new high-tech wall.
He told viewers: “We’re gonna do our best. We’ll be doing that with the help of our virtual audience every week. It’s lovely to see you all.
“I’m a bit overwhelmed. For the first time ever we can see into the living room living of 300 people all at the same time.
“Make sure you’re decent please. No questionable behaviour – I’m looking at you over there madam.”
