Presenter Stephen explained ahead of trick that he had a confetti detonator that he needed the man to set off at the right time.

He added: "I need to show you this, this here is a detonator. Now, let me tell you, when you press this button here, it changes the entire show.

"It sets off fireworks, it changes the lighting, it changes the music.

"So, we need somebody very responsible to look after this!"

After instructing audience member Adam to help, Stephen made his way back onto the stage and told the audience: "There's a reason I do this trick, I don't want to bring the atmosphere down, but my grandad taught me how to do this trick when I was just 11 years old. 

"Sadly, my grandad passed away two weeks ago..."

But it was at this poignant moment that the confetti went off - resulting in Stephen yelling: "Stop this!"

He pointed at Adam and said: "That was the wrong time, my friend!"
