ITV's broadcast of a Deal Or No Deal celebrity special went down like a lead balloon among viewers who all complained about one particular aspect of the show. Monday's episode was a repeat of the December 8, 2024 special, which featured I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner Sam Thompson attempting the beat the banker.
Stephen Mulhern returned as the host to help Sam, also known for his exploits on Made In Chelsea, win money for his chosen charity as he was reunited with some of his close friends, including TOWIE's Pete Wicks, and his former jungle mates such as actors Danielle Harold and Nick Pickard.
However, viewers were left less than impressed, with complaints flooding in about one particular aspect that detracted from their enjoyment. Disgruntled viewers took to social media to vent, labelling the show "unwatchable".
Criticism was aimed at ITV for allocating screen time to those deemed "Z-List celebrities".

One viewer commented: "You clearly have a very different definition of 'TV legend' than the rest of us. Unless it means the most annoying nothing on TV."
A second viewer flew into a rage, saying: "#DealorNoDeal is on and it's f*****g horrendous at best of times, but f*****g unwatchable with all the Z Lister so called celebrities."
A third questioned the show's casting choices, adding: "There may be an obvious answer but how can Deal or No Deal have a celebrity special without having any celebrities in it."
A fourth quipped about a potential silver lining in the episode, saying: "The only famous one there Paul who has a hilarious TikTok sketches and he just opens a box at the very end #dealornodeal."

Elsewhere, Sam opened up last Sunday about being diagnosed with autism, after having previously disclosed his ADHD diagnosis in 2023. He termed the condition a "blessing" and referred to it as his "superpower".
He candidly admitted feeling there was more to his earlier diagnosis and opted for a fun-filled approach to sharing the news on Instagram. His video featured him portraying two sides of himself – one embodying his true self and the other his ADHD persona.
Text displayed in the engaging clip stated: "You got diagnosed with ADHD in your late twenties, but something still doesn't add up..."
Crafting a light-hearted yet informative narrative, the reality TV personality captioned his post with: "Knew there was more to the story," followed by a chuckling emoji. The post received a wave of affirmative comments, commending his use of humour to highlight and educate on the matter, reports the Express.

Chloe Brockett shows ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham what he's missing as she puts on a VERY busty display in lace bra following their sixth split
made sure all eyes were on her as she showed off her very ample assets following her bitter split from her ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham. The TOWIE beauty, 24, and former Love Island winner, 34, have had a tumultuous relationship over the years after first getting together in 2019, but last month the pair went their separate ways for a sixth time after a string of heated rows. Despite the blow, Chloe took to Instagram to show that she is getting on with her life without Jack by sharing a cheeky video of herself wearing nothing but a lace bra. In the clip, she could be seen opening a drawer, flashing a glimpse of herself clad in the plunging underwear, which highlighted her cleavage. The reality star styled the striking number with a full face of makeup and glamorous hair. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Later in the day, Chloe posted a slew of stunning snaps to her Instagram stories and appeared to be in good spirits as she tried to move on. Wearing a pastel yellow cardigan and blue jeans, Chloe posed in a sultry way down the camera, before heading to a flower market to buy herself a bouquet to brighten up her day. The sexy video and pictures come after Chloe revealed a devastating panic attack forced her to cancel a solo surgery trip abroad following her split. Taking to her Instagram Stories Chloe answered followers questions and while not divulging what surgery she had been planning, said she'd made it all the way to the airport before 'freaking out' and having to head home. She wrote: 'Guys you will not believe this... I got all the way to the airport and turned around! I freaked myself out,' 'I was going alone as all my friends are busy/working etc and I was saying oh I'll be brave and independent and had a panic attack at the airport! was nothing to do with the company just sometimes thing don't feel right and you have to go with your gut!'. Last week Chloe broke her silence on the split after Jack hinted that they had reunited for a seventh time, as he mysteriously uploaded a loved-up selfie of the couple to his Instagram Stories only to delete it moments later. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about the social media post, Chloe said: 'I'm not sure why he posted that picture of me last night I'll be honest, but what I can say is when we were in Ibiza [where the picture was taken], it was a really beautiful time in our relationship and we were happy.' Jack recently said he doubts his relationship with Chloe is over for good, and it appears Chloe feels the same, admitting: 'I'm sure he would like to go back to that time in our relationship, as would I to some extent. 'Obviously I'm focusing on moving out and things going on in my career and Jack is focusing on a lot of things going on in his. 'I wish him well and we'll always be involved in each other's lives to some extent, whether romantically or in a friendship way, but as of right now I'm focusing on myself.' 'I've seen a lot about us slamming each other, I can assure you that is definitely not what is going on. 'Me and Jack have been in each other's lives for a really long time, six nearly seven years now, and we tried living together and it didn't work for multiple reasons, not because of my OnlyFans at all.' It comes after Jack said he doubts his relationship with Chloe is over for good but doesn't currently know what is going to happen. Jack and Chloe moved into their first home together in May 2024 and even created a joint Instagram account to share their home updates. The reality star has now explained that he has moved back in with his mum while Chloe has 'moved out into her own flat'. He told The Sun: 'Chloe and I haven't been in a great place. I'm living at my mum's and she has moved out of the house we lived in and into her own flat. I don't know what will happen between us. I still love her. I doubt it's over for good. 'We've been through a hell of a lot in the past couple of years. I didn't tell her about the bulimia, it is a hard thing to discuss with anybody. Even Mum doesn't know. 'I am a very open bloke. I cry, I wear my heart on my sleeve, but bulimia, for a bloke, I didn't think it was something I could discuss.' Chloe has also begun her new chapter in life as she revealed to her Instagram followers that she has the keys to her new place. Sharing a snap of herself opening the door to her new home, Chloe gushed: 'Today's a good day.. got the keys to my new place ✨.' It comes after Chloe took to her Instagram Stories last month to open up about living with a 'narcissist' for a year, although she didn't name anyone specifically. In now-deleted posts, she told her followers: 'I wasn't going to say anything but I'm going to say something. 'I think the scariest part about living with a narcissist is that they genuinely believe their own lies. 'So they genuinely believe the things they are saying and this version of themselves that they are presenting to the world is the true version because they see them day in and day out. 'I wasn't going to say anything but when you see this person just repeatedly projecting this absolute false version of themselves to the world. 'I had the pleasure of spending a year around this human that was nothing like the person they presented themselves. 'I just had to say something. I think narcissist are probably the most scariest people you can ever encounter in your whole entire life and just for so long I genuinely believed the lies that I was being told. 'I just woke up one day and was like "wow.. you're being lied to."' Chloe later took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that she had deleted the posts in question and said she would speak on the topic 'at a later date'. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Jack for comment. It comes after Chloe announced she is once again single and wants to 'focus on myself', as they both prepared to move into separate homes. Last month, during a Q&A session with her Instagram followers, Chloe was asked if she was still in a relationship. She responded: 'No I'm not in a relationship anymore... just want to focus on myself and the things that make me happy.' When asked if she was moving in with Jack, she explained: 'No I am moving to Brentwood on my own... I can't wait to show you all my little place it's so pretty.' In another Instagram Story, she added: 'I wanna give myself a cuddle after the last year I've had... only way is up from here'.

JoJo Siwa says Chris Hughes feels like family and her mother ‘adores' him
The two met in the ITV1 Celebrity Big Brother house, growing close during their time on the reality show, claiming their relationship was 'platonic'. Since leaving the house, they have been seen together and recently shared photographs of them together on Instagram, suggesting they are in a relationship. A post shared by JoJo Siwa (@itsjojosiwa) Siwa, 22, told Channel 4's Sunday Brunch: 'She (Siwa's mother) does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him and him and my dad are like best friends. 'Chris was actually telling me that yesterday they went to the spa together. They're literally best friends. 'Mum, she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us because I've never seen my mum so happy. 'It feels like we're a family. It feels like he's been in my family for however many years. It feels like they just all get along as well as I do. 'I think there will definitely be a lot more time spent here, and I think from him as well, a lot more time spent over there, but we both have families, you know, on either end.' The 22-year old singer is known for her songs Karma and Guilty Pleasure, which she released in 2024, while sports presenter Hughes, 32, appeared on the third season of the ITV reality TV series Love Island. Speaking about her decision to join Celebrity Big Brother, she said: 'I didn't even question a yes or no. I knew it wasn't even a question. It was an immediate yes. 'I think for me, growing up on reality TV, it almost feels like a little bit of home to me, and it just feels like it's just fun. 'And right before I went in, I told my mom, I was like, I think this is gonna be the best thing I've ever done. And she's like, what do you mean? And I was like, I don't know, something tells me, like for my personal, like for my life, it feels like it's gonna be the best thing I've ever done and by a landslide it has been. 'Being on Big Brother you're captured 24/7 so for people to just get to see the real me was something that I wasn't sure how to share, essentially on my own, I guess I wasn't brave enough to share it.' The Celebrity Big Brother final saw Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd crowned the winner. Siwa placed third on the ITV1 reality show while Hughes came sixth.

Molly-Mae Hague's Love Island 2019 audition tape is revealed for first time as she and Tommy Fury are branded one of show's success stories in 10 year anniversary special
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury were included as one of Love Island's successful love stories during ITV's special 10-year anniversary episode on Sunday. The former Love Island star and the amateur boxer, both 26, met on the ITV2 dating show in 2019 and welcomed their daughter Bambi in 2023. In the summer of 2024 they shocked the nation with news of their split as Tommy has claimed his drinking became a problem in their relationship. However, after months of rumours they'd rekindled their romance, the pair finally went Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap. And ITV wasted no time in branding the couple as one of their success stories with a celebratory clip of them to close Love Island: Decade Of Love. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Elsewhere in the show, Molly-Mae's 2019 audition tape was also shown for the first time, revealing some shock confessions about her love life before Tommy. As the episode turned to 'unseen audition clips', Molly was seen confessing that she had been described as 'too much' by her former love interests. In her audition clip she said: 'The last guy I was with literally told me I was too much for him to handle. What ever too much actually means.' The clip then switched to Molly auditioning for the show where she revealed the secrets to her iconic messy top bun. She said: 'I take the nozzle of the blow hairdryer, blow dry it through there and then a bit of hairspray. But it stays there anyway.' Molly and Tommy fell for each other in front of the nation during series five of Love Island, going on to welcome Bambi and then get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when Molly announced on Instagram last August that she and Tommy had split up after five years, with many suspecting he had been unfaithful. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.' The boxer, who's the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, said the reason he and Molly ended their romance was down to his excessive drinking. He said: 'People go through different things in life. I'm 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world... 'Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing.' The pair's split was branded a 'publicity stunt' by fans after they were filmed packing on the PDA at Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw 's Hogmanay party in Cheshire. And in May, Molly began taking to her Instagram Stories to re-introduce his presence more regularly on her social media account. In the picture, Tommy could be seen sharing a kiss with Molly and their toddler, Bambi, while they enjoyed ice lollies in the sunshine. The post comes after she revealed what really happened when they were spotted sharing a kiss as the clock struck midnight and 2025 began in the final installment of her Amazon Prime docuseries. After receiving a call from her manager Fran Britton to inform her of the video, Molly was left shaking as she exclaimed 'No, oh my God,' after watching the footage. The influencer explained: 'Basically, what's happened is I've attended a New Year's Eve party and a familiar someone showed up 10 minutes before the countdown and that was Tommy. 'Basically we shared a kiss at midnight and it would appear that someone has taken a video and sold it to the press.' She continued: 'It was just a moment that we shared and I can't really explain it, it kind of just happened. 'You think you're having a private, intimate moment and nothing is private even in a room of people you think you trust and you know, people like to make a quick buck.' Molly added: 'I'd love to know how much they did make, hope it was worth it. But karma always comes back around don't you think?' Watching the clip she exclaimed: 'Sh**e. Ahhh no. No my God what? I'm literally shaking.' As Fran asked her to explain what happened, Molly swore that the boxer wasn't supposed to at the party and showed up unexpectedly. She said: 'He turned up at 10 to 12. I swear he wasn't meant to be there. 'He messaged me saying "I am outside and I want to see in the New Year with you, I kid you not Fran he was there for eight minutes. He was literally not there. He wasn't there all night.' Since the kiss, Tommy has been seen leaving her Cheshire home and after sharing a family holiday in Dubai, Molly confirmed on her YouTube channel that the pair are 'figuring things out'.
