ITV's new reality show, Celebrity Sabotage, has drawn criticism from viewers following its debut on Saturday, March 21. The programme features celebrities such as Joel Dommett, Judi Love, Sam Thompson and GK Barry sabotaging unsuspecting contestants who believe they are taking part in a genuine reality show.
In the first episode, business enthusiasts were tricked into participating in challenges overseen by Dragons' Den star Sara Davies. Celebrities, including comedian Jo Brand, disrupted tasks such as wedding video filming and a wellness face mask activity by adding green food colouring.
Several viewers took to social media to express their dissatisfaction. One wrote on X: 'This is as much fun as having a toothache.' Another said: 'How do programmes like these ever get commissioned. Utter rubbish.' A third commented: 'This is appallingly bad even for ITV.'
However, not all feedback was negative. Some viewers praised the show's silliness, with one stating: 'This is what Saturday night telly should be.' Another added: 'Cackled with laughter for this whole show. What a vibe.'
After two days of sabotage, the contestants discovered the truth and learned they had won a shared prize of £29,000.
