The Weakest Link viewers have accused reality star Charlotte Crosby of shouting her answers during the BBC show’s New Year’s Eve Party Special.
As host Romesh Ranganathan quizzed the celebrity contestants, many watching at home took to social media to comment on the former Geordie Shore star’s volume. Romesh himself teased her, asking: “You know your mic is on, don’t you? How far away do you think I am?”
Charlotte giggled and explained she got “excited like a seagull”, leaving Romesh baffled. When he asked for clarification, she said: “They do it when they want a chip.” Viewers on X, formerly Twitter, were quick to react, with one asking: “Why is she shouting?” and another pleading: “STOP SHOUTING CHARLOTTE!”
Despite the criticism, some fans found her entertaining. One wrote: “Loving @CharlotteGShore on The Weakest Link. She’s frantically pressing the button. Hilarious.” Another noted her strong performance, saying: “Who knew Charlotte would be the best?”
The special episode also featured EastEnders’ Patsy Palmer, potter Keith Brymer Jones, Steps’ Ian ‘H’ Watkins, comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri, First Dates’ Merlin Griffiths, Bash the Entertainer and Luke Hamnett. The celebrities competed to win up to £50,000 for charity.
The Weakest Link originally ran from 2000 to 2012 with Anne Robinson as host, before being revived in 2021 with Romesh at the helm.
