I will be taking the original article and editing all of the sensationalism out of it to see whether it holds the same impact.
Orignal article-
Scarlett Moffatt slammed for CHEATING during last night's Saturday Night Takeaway
Uh oh
Telly-watcher turned telly-on-er Scarlett Moffatt has been accused of cheating on the 100th episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.
The barraged of tweets flooded in after the show brought back some of it's well-loved past segments including infamous challenges.
For one challenge, the 27-year-old surprised un unsuspecting couple who was watching the show at the pub and enjoying a Saturday night beverage. The couple were told they could win tickets to the series finale and all they had to do was successfully complete a series of challenges in order to find said tickets.
Seems easy enough, right?
The couple were put through there paces (think a ball pit and plenty of gunge) when it was becoming really obvious that the pair couldn't find the last remaining ticket.
Uh oh. Well you can't win every time, it's the taking part that cou...
... a mischievous Scarlett dropped the already won ticket into the gunge and pretended it was the ticket the pair were looking for.
(Looks for rule book and flicks through pages with intent.)
One fan tweeted: ‘@Team_AntandDec a bit of cheating going on there from Scarlett the woman handed her a boarding pass she had already found and Scarlett put it in the water and pretended it was a new find. Tut tut Scarlett.’
However some fans thought it was great Saturday night telly and weren't mad at all.
Meanwhile. the ex-Jungle Queen thought that co stars Ant and Dec and herself should receive a letter from the Queen after Saturday Night Takeaway reached it's 100th anniversary.

Scarlett Moffatt Accused of cheating during last night's Saturday Night Takeaway
Known TV star Scarlett Moffatt has been accused of cheating on the 100th episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.
The barraged of tweets flooded in after the show brought back some of it's well-loved past segments including infamous challenges.
For one challenge, the 27-year-old surprised un unsuspecting couple who was watching the show at the pub and enjoying a Saturday night beverage. The couple were told they could win tickets to the series finale and all they had to do was successfully complete a series of challenges in order to find said tickets.
Seems easy enough, right?
The couple had to search through a ball pit filled with gunge when it was becoming really obvious that the pair couldn't find the last remaining ticket.
Well you can't win every time.
But controversially, Scarlett dropped the already won ticket into the gunge and pretended it was the ticket the pair were looking for.
One fan tweeted: ‘@Team_AntandDec a bit of cheating going on there from Scarlett the woman handed her a boarding pass she had already found and Scarlett put it in the water and pretended it was a new find. Tut tut Scarlett.’

Taking away some of the sensationalism definitely effects the impact as removing colloquial language such as "Uh Oh" removes the purpose of the content which is to stir up conversation, as the sensationalism makes the story sound like it matters more than it does. Also some of the words like "Slammed" are used to make the reader think that Scarlett Moffatt is actually receiving heavy criticism for this, whereas in reality all she did was help a couple win a little game on a late night entertainment show. The entire article is presented in a way that makes it feel like the writer wants us to gasp as we read it, for example when it the article says "(Looks for rule book and flicks through pages with intent.)" This is to try and make the act seem cheeky and reinforce the fact that she cheated the game.
