Game of Talents: Viewers divided as Vernon Kay’s new game show airs

The ITV series wasn't a hit with fans

Game of Talents debuted last night (April 10) on ITV to a mixed reception.

The game show sees contestants pair up with celebrities to try to uncover the secret talents of the eight mystery performers in each episode.

ITV had Vernon Kay series would become a big hit with viewers.

However, sadly the show didn’t seem to go down well with those watching at home.

Viewers rage over Game Of Talents

Game Of Talents’ first episode saw Tess Daly and her fellow Strictly colleague Craig Revel Horwood take part.

As the show aired, many rushed to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One viewer tweeted: “#GameOfTalents is possibly the worst television I’ve seen in some time!”

“On BBC or ITV it’s between #icanseeyourvoice or #GameOfTalents. Now that wall-to-wall coverage of Prince Philip doesn’t seem that bad at all,” said a second.

A third said: “I don’t think a show’s left me with the feeling of such a violent shrug in some time, so well done I guess?”

“I watched the first 10 mins of the new programme #GameOfTalents. Load of rubbish in my opinion,” ranted a fourth who had clearly switched off. 

While a fifth added: “Amanda Holden on BBC and Tess Daly on ITV. It’s like choosing between a cough and a cold #GameOfTalents #ICanSeeYourVoice!”
