Saturday Night Takeaway viewers hail return of Noel Edmonds as he’s unmasked as the evil Overlord

NOEL Edmonds was unmasked as the evil Overlord on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway tonight and fans loved it.

The former Saturday night star featured in the grand final of the Saturday Knight Takeaway sketch and was unmasked when Emilia Clarke betrayed the Geordie duo and locked them, forcing the pair to burst out of prison.

He was bitter about being passed over for a multitude of honours, what with his Cosmic Ordering system on the blink, and decided to take revenge.

He said: "Britain has failed to revere us, so now we are going to destroy everything Britain reveres!";

Viewers loved the return of Mr Blobby's mate and flocked to social media with their excitement.

One wrote: "Loved watching Saturday Knight Takeaway Noel Edmonds was The Overlord! Amazing #SaturdayNightTakeaway"

A second tweeted: "Loving seeing Noel Edmonds on Ant & Dec. Great idea. #antanddec"

Another added: "Loved Noel Edmonds return to Saturday Night TV, telling those scamps @antanddec that they'd stolen all his House Party ideas. Bring on the gunge tank! #SaturdayNightTakeaway"

"Noel Edmonds arguing with Ant and Dec about which bits they nicked from House Party is the meta joke I didn't know I needed!" said another.

Another added: ";Noel Edmonds has just turned up on tv lads this is brilliant."

Another asked: "Why has @NoelEdmonds never been honoured? #legend"

A second asked: "When is Noel Edmonds' House Party making a come back??"
