Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly made a surprising appearance at a BUDGET Mediterranean resort to respond to criticism of ‘wasteful and offensive behavior towards financially struggling families’ on their show Saturday Night Takeaway

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly caused a sensation among holidaying Brits on Wednesday when they were seen splashing about at a budget family resort in Majorca.

The sudden appearance of the TV presenting duo, both 48, in beach wear at the Protur Bonaire Hotel in Cala Bona saw excitement spread like wildfire among guests.

Dozens of people surged to the pool area to check out the unexpected celebrity cameo – with many amazed that the multi-millionaire pair would choose to book into the relatively affordable resort.

But while it wasn’t a stunt for the The Saturday Night Takeaway show, as some suspected, it soon turned out there was an explanation.

In fact the pair were shooting a TV commercial for TUI holidays which is a mainstay user of the Protur Bonaire.

Ant and Dec spent several hours doing shoots around the sprawling holiday resort in the east of the island.

Such was commotion caused by their arrival, that guests had to be warned that the TV personalities would not have time to pose for individual photographs.

But Ant and Dec made a point of waving at the families who had gathered around the pool to greet them and handed out high-fives to children who had come over to see them.

Holiday-maker Samantha McAdams witnessed the spectacle and told MailOnline: ‘Everyone was very excited to see them. They came on a transfer coach from Palma airport to the hotel.

‘We first saw them about lunch time. We were sitting by the pool and they came past at about 1.30pm.

‘Soon enough, everyone got wind and started to wait outside the apartment to see them. Eventually it turned out they were shooting an advert for TUI.

‘They waved at everyone at the pool and they went into a private apartment to do some filming.

‘Members of the production staff told us they wouldn’t have time to do individual photos with everyone, but when they came outside they waved at everyone and high-fived all the children.’

Sam, 39, gushed: ‘They were brilliant, exactly how you see them on the TV. They spoke to each of the children and they smiled the entire day.’

The fashion retail manager from Belfast is on holiday with her banker husband David McAdams, 37, and their two children Cohen, six, and Summer, five.

She continued: ‘After they came out of the apartment they got in a golf buggy and drove around the resort with a few guests and asked them what they liked about the hotel, what food they liked, etc.

‘They stayed until about 4pm and then they left. They must have been exhausted.’

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly sure know how to make a splash, even when they’re just trying to relax on holiday. The TV presenting duo surprised guests at a budget family resort in Majorca by showing up in beach wear at the Protur Bonaire Hotel in Cala Bona. The excitement among holidaymakers was palpable as word spread quickly about the unexpected celebrity sighting.

Many were surprised that the wealthy pair would choose to stay at a more affordable resort, but as it turned out, their presence was for work rather than pleasure. Ant and Dec were actually filming a TV commercial for TUI holidays, a company that is a regular user of the Protur Bonaire. This revelation certainly explained their sudden appearance at the resort.

During their time at the holiday resort, Ant and Dec were busy filming various scenes for the commercial. Despite the commotion caused by their presence, the TV personalities made sure to acknowledge their fans by waving and giving high-fives to excited children.

One holiday-maker, Samantha McAdams, shared her experience of seeing the duo in action. She described how they interacted with guests, even taking the time to ride around the resort in a golf buggy and chat with a few lucky visitors about their stay. It’s no surprise that everyone was thrilled to see them up close.

Overall, it seems that Ant and Dec made quite an impression during their time at the Protur Bonaire Hotel. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to engage with fans left a positive mark on all those who had the chance to see them in person.
