«Breaking News» Old footage of Ant and Dec in blackface on ITV's Saturday Night Takeaway resurfaces

Old footage of Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly in blackface on Saturday Night Takeaway has resurfaced. 

During some of their many Ant & Dec Undercover sketches on the hit ITV show, the presenting duo changed their skin colour and wore prosthetics to portray made up characters in an effort to trick their famous friends.

One of the most controversial skits saw Ant, 43, and Dec, 43, wear blackface as they dressed up as two fictional Jamaican women, Patty and Bernice, in an attempt to prank Emmerdale cast members, in 2003.

In the segment the Geordie pair acted as unruly extras 'Patty and Bernice' in the Woolpack, behaving eccentrically in an effort to distract Louise Appleton (played by Emily Symons) and Diane Sugden (played by Elizabeth Estensen).

The prank was certainly successful, with the soap cast falling about with laughter as they realised they had been duped.

However, an old clip of Ant and Dec discussing their transformation into 'Patty and Bernice' on the Saturday Night Takeaway DVD, has also resurfaced, and makes for an uneasy watch. 

In the clip, Ant appears to be amused as he recalls the particular sketch, joking: 'It was funny sitting in a room, learning Jamaican, picking dresses, trying on false nails, was something I didn't think I'd ever, ever do.'

Ant & Dec Undercover: Ant and Dec impersonated people of other races and ethnicities on multiple occasions while filming their Ant & Dec Undercover sketches. 

Dec, mimicking a Jamaican accent adds: 'We had to find who Patty and Bernice were, so we'd have to go "Well, I think Bernice probably came to England on a boat".'

In 2004, the pair dressed up as two Japanese girls, with prosthetics, elaborate make-up and exaggerated accents used to transform them into Suki and Keiko.

During the skit, the Geordie pair attempted to trick the Coronation Street cast into believing they were in love with Todd Grimshaw, played by Bruno Langley.

In 2005, Ant dressed up as an Arab man, during another Saturday Night Takeaway prank, in which they targeted Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell.

For the skit, Ant sported a keffiyeh - a traditional Middle Eastern headdress - and traditional Arabic clothing.   

Ant and Dec's representatives declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
