They have claimed that James Corden appeared to ‘cheat’.
Wow. Wowza. Wozinga. Gameshows these days, aye, so much less wholesome than they used to be.
I mean, sure, on Bullseye, winning usually just meant that contestants would go home with a speed boat – rather than a big cash price – but at least they were no allegations of the show being a setup.
But here we are in 2018 and following allegations of a fix on The Chase a few weeks back after the last second of the gameshow seemed to last an eternity (which you can watch below), now there’s a claim that last night’s Saturday Night Takeaway was rigged too.

Fans of Ant and Dec’s show believe that last night James Corden managed to ‘cheat’ to let one competitor win – with Corden apparently giving the correct answer, “tiger”, before a woman had even mouthed it.
Watch it here and judge for yourself:
She won herself tickets on the plane to Florida for the series finale in the last moments of the segment. But here’s what people were saying on Twitter afterwards:
James Cordon said Tiger before the player did, possible fix! #SaturdayNightTakeAway

I’m going to stop and point out right now that it might have just been that they didn’t hear it over the crowd – and that she did, in fact, almost certainly mouth the word before he answered. Still, everyone loves a conspiracy.
