ITV’s new series The Games is unlikely to break any records, leaving viewers switching off after featuring just six minutes of live competition during the first show.
Originally airing on Channel 4 from 2003 to 2006, it has 12 celebrities including model Phoenix Gulzar-Brown, 23 and singer Max George, 33, competing and promised “a range of sporting challenges across a week of live shows”.
Monday opening night, hosted by Holly Willoughby, 41, and Freddie Flintoff, 44, ran for 90 minutes.
