Holly Willoughby was shut down by a co-star and ridiculed by viewers at home after making a 'ridiculous' comment about the hurdles during the launch episode of The Games.
While the celeb sport contest is ITV's new primetime offering this week, taking the coveted 9pm slot across consecutive nights, it isn't actually a new format as The Games was originally on Channel 4, back in the 2000s. It ran for four series between 2003 and 2006, with winners including MC Harvey and Kirsty Gallacher.
The Games contestants list for the ITV version boasts an eclectic mix of stars including The Wanted's Max George, Spice Girl Mel B's daughter Phoenix and Christine McGuinness.
