The Games is unlikely to break any records, leaving viewers switching off after featuring just six minutes of live competition during the first show.

The programme features Mel B's daughter Phoenix, former Strictly pro Kevin Clifton, Paddy McGuiness' wife Christine Martin and a host of other celebrity faces including stars of EastEnders and Coronation Street taking on sports events.

It was only night one but Max George left viewers of The Games worried as he hobbled his way to the finish line during the men's 400m. The first episode of the new ITV show aired on Monday night (May 9) and continues every night, live, throughout the rest of the week.

That should be a challenge - see how fast you can change the channel over.”Another wrote: “Watching The Games and wondering: ‘What is the point in all this?’ Don’t recognise half these ‘celebrities’.”A disgruntled viewer called out the channel for making “celebrities do P.E.
