SATURDAY Night Takeaway fans were in hysterics last night when an NHS worker won a loo roll.

It's normally the prize everyone tries to avoid, but in the current climate they're like gold dust.

Natasha was playing Win The Ads on Ant and Dec's ITV show that aired for the first time ever without an audience.

It was a record-breaking programme, with 12 million people tuning in to watch on Saturday night.

The NHS worker Natasha played the game by video link and chose to gamble to win all the prizes.

Thankfully she answered correctly and won a brand new car, TV, sofa - and a toilet roll for her and all of the crew.

 Instead of being in the studio, the NHS worker played from home

Someone else said: "Love that the crew prize is toilet roll, makes sense, that stuffs white gold right now."

Even the Saturday Night Takeaway Twitter account joked: "This must be the first time anyone's EVER been excited about winning toilet roll on Win the Ads."
Worried shoppers have left supermarket shelves empty as they grabbed toilet rolls to stock-pile amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last night, hosts Ant and Dec revealed it would be the last live show of the series, with next week's being pre-recorded.
They told viewers: "It's a privilege to be on air" after putting their all into making the last live show count.
