Christine McGuinness and Olivia Attwood show off athletic figures in swimsuits as they compete in 1st round of The Games

Martin Lewis has waded in with his thoughts on The Games as viewers continue to be left divided over the format. Viewers are now three days in to the ITV show which sees 12 celebs pushed out of their comfort zones and competing in Olympic-style events.

Holly Willoughby helped cause her flop show The Games to lose even more viewers.The presenter is currently fronting the nightly celebrity sports show on ITV which launched on Monday with just 2million viewers.However on Tuesday (May 10) it lost a further 500,000 fans.One of the reasons for the dip was because The Games clashed in the schedules at 9pm with Holly’s rival BBC One show Freeze The Fear.The programme – featuring the stars such as Alfie Boe and Dianne Buswell in icy challenges in the Alps – drew 1.8 million viewers.The Games – which has the likes of Christine McGuinness and Ryan Thomas competing in sports events – trailed behind on 1.5million.It means the ITV show has lost 500,000 viewers in just 24 hours.Fans have not taken to The Games which was revived by the station this year after being axed by Channel 4 back in 2006.Holly and co-presenter Freddie Flintoff have been presiding over the programme which features live action and chat along with pre-recorded footage.Viewers have blasted the show with comments such as “If this was on the BBC I’d demand my money back”, “This reboot is a bit naff” and “This rubbish is on prime time every night this week”.For more of the latest showbiz news from Daily Star, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.Others moaned about the fact that Holly never seems to be off the box.Comments included “I am sick of seeing her on everything”, “Turned off when I saw she was on it” and “Is no one else available to host this?”ITV says of The Games: “The competition builds across this week, before the winner is crowned in Friday’s final show.”

Olivia Attwood got emotional on Wednesday's The Games as she admitted that she has layers to her that fans won't have seen. The reality star, 31, confessed that although she is herself, she also plays a "character" that people have "bought into" since appearing on Love Island in 2017. Olivia got emotional as she joined her fellow contestants in javelin training, where she admitted she felt "embarrassed" after it didn't go to plan.

Holly Willoughby savagely shut down her co-host Freddie Flintoff during a racy moment on ITV's The Games.This Morning star Holly was forced to give former cricketer Freddie a stern telling off when he made a cheeky joke about 'holding shafts' right before the celeb javelin challenge on Wednesday night (May 11).Freddie asked the studio how to hold a shaft correctly, prompting Holly to say "enough of that" before complaining that the show was no longer "PG" and hastily trying to move the segment on. It's not the first time the new ITV sports show has aired a rude moment, as former Corrie star Ryan Thomas suffered an epic wardrobe malfunction earlier this week.The soap star was competing in the swimming event when his swimming trunks fell down in the pool to expose his bare bottom to the nation, where potentially millions could be watching him.Poor Ryan was mortified to see his yellow trunks down by his legs during the gaffe.Lucy Mecklenburgh, Ryan's partner and mum of his child, clearly saw the funny side as she shared the moment on her Instagram Story."There you go...

Scott, 33, who starred on the programme in 2016 where he also met then-girlfriend Kady McDermott, 26, shared his excitement for the new recruits to potentially have almost the double time enjoying sun-soaked days by the pool and dramatic evenings filled with romance.

LOVE Island's Chloe Burrows has revealed why she hasn't competed in The Games after being bombarded with messages from fans. The reality star trained alongside celebs Olivia Attwood, Christine McGuinness, Phoenix Brown, Chelcee Grimes, Lucrezia Millarini and Rebecca Sarker before the live shows.

THE Games is mixed up in a fix row after many spotted that Chelcee Grimes finished AHEAD of Phoenix Brown in last night's swimming race - but was wrongly given 4th place. Tuesday night's instalment of the ITV show saw the girls race against each other in the 50m breaststroke.

ITV’s new primetime show, The Games, has been a huge hit with viewers at home as twelve super-fit celebrities continue to battle it out in a range of sporting events. But some people are complaining the talent show is “too rude” after Coronation Street Ryan Thomas accidentally flashed his bottom while learning to dive on the show.

Olivia was then in so much pain afterwards she ended up clutching an ice pack against her shoulder for pain relief.
