-Originally put to slaughter against [[Race Across the World]] on Wednesdays and [[Taskmaster]] on Thursdays, ratings were diabolical, with episode two scoring less than a million viewers in overnight ratings. By the time episode three had aired, ITV had replaced episode six with Celeb [[Who Wants to be a Millionaire?|Millionaire]].
