Saturday Night Takeaway fans were up in arms when a contestant lost out on a cash prize due to an unfortunate time delay. Viewers demanded justice after hosts Ant and Dec told the player she

had sung the lyrics of Dolly Parton's hit 9 to 5 incorrectly during the show's Sing-a-long live segment. However, after later reviewing the footage, the presenters, both 45, did a

U-turn and awarded her the prize of £500. The error came as the duo welcomed the cast of 9 to 5: The Musical into the studio, with contestants at home tasked with correctly singing the

lyrics to the song 9 to 5 in order to win a cash prize.  RELATED ARTICLES One lady called Dionne was up first and looked aghast as they informed her that she had messed up the line after

failing to sing the word 'giving'. However, viewers at home strongly disagreed, taking to Twitter to complain that there was a time delay as they demanded Dionne be given her

money. '@antanddec there was clearly a delay with the first lady’s sound, she definitely knew the word!' fumed one person. While another said: 'Give the first lady some money

too..... there was a delay in the sound, she did say GIVING.' 'The first lady definitely got the lyrics right and said giving. Give her the money! She won!' demanded a third

watcher. A fourth tweeted: '@antanddec she got it right. There was a sound delay. So devastated for her!!!!!' 'Am I the only person who thinks the first contestant said the

right word ‘giving’? There was obviously a delay, but she got right. Hand over the money ITV!...' questioned another. With a further person writing: 'come on that First Lady was

correct she said #giving I even rewound the tv and she clearly said it just because she was tv lag as most people are doesn’t mean she shouldn’t have the prize she deserves #unfair

gaming.' However, just half an hour later, Ant and Dec realised the mistake after having 'reviewed the footage'. The pair did a U-turn and rectified the issue, awarding Dionne

the £500 prize.  The ecstatic contestant was seen cheering along with her family on the sofa after realising she was a winner after all.  The move certainly impressed fans at home, who were

quick to praise Ant and Dec for giving the player her money. 'Yesssss thank you @antanddec and @itvtakeaway for giving her the money for sing a long live, my faith in you has been

restored' shared one person. Another said: 'Ant and Dec giving her the money she deserves.' 'Well done for giving the First Lady the £500' tweeted a third watcher,

With another agreeing: 'Well done for giving Dionne the money, she did get the line right, not her fault the music was out of sync.'  Saturday Night Takeaway continues Saturday at

7pm on ITV.
