Ant and Dec show Saturday Night Takeaway kicked off the conclusion to its current run last night with a performance by singer Raye.
At the start of Saturday (April 3) evening’s episode, hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly welcomed the pop star into the studio to sing Bed.
However, viewers at home felt divided over the song’s lyrics.
What did Ant and Dec fans say about the song on Saturday Night Takeaway?
As the star sang on the programme, a number of viewers cringed and claimed it was “inappropriate” for a family show.
One said, with a grimacing emoji: “‘I’ve got a bed but I’d rather be in yours tonight’, ummm. Guys. This is a family show.”

A second echoed that, writing: “‘Fun for all the family’… ‘I got a bed but I’d rather be in yours tonight!’ Okay.”
ITV viewers cringe over ‘inappropriate’ lyrics
“Appropriate lyrics for a family show,” laughed a third.
“My thoughts exactly,” a fourth viewer agreed.
Another quipped: “Two things, one, inappropriate song for children, and two, if she’s in my bed where am I going to sleep?”
I’ve got a bed but I’d rather be in yours tonight’, ummm. Guys. This is a family show.
A sixth tweeted: “What a whole-heartedly inappropriate song to kick off an evening of Saturday night family entertainment with. Bizarre.”
ED! contacted ITV for comment.
The song includes the lyrics: “I got a bed, but I’d rather be in yours tonight.”
“I’ve got a bed but I’d rather be in yours tonight” ummm. guys. This is a family show. 🤔😬 #SaturdayNightTakeaway
