Saturday was cutting it much too fine, the direct debit will have already been sent for collection at that point.
From the Bank's point of view, they will treat this as a legitimate bill, and will probably try to take it again later.
If they normally charge you for missed DDs, that may kick in too.
Ignoring it is probably a bad idea, you'd be better off trying to cancel this instance of the DD
