how after the trailer hit, fans swarmed social media to deliver a brutally honest verdict. One viewer snarkily remarked on YouTube: “Celebrities? I have no idea who these people are, I’ve never seen any of them before in my life.”
Another shared a backhanded compliment on : “Honestly seems like a cool idea but I’ve never heard of any of these people haha, I get it though for a new show and budget, you obviously can’t get Tom Hanks off the rip.”
Someone else queried: “Does anyone know who any of those ‘celebs’ are or they just only fans and influencers? Cause there is a difference between celebs and them.”
Another individual expressed their thoughts, writing: “I was kinda excited by the prospect of Bear Grylls hunting more recognizable folks.”

They continued: “I was picturing him, you know, springing out of a bush, covered in sloth vomit for some reason, dive-tackling Timothee Chalamet.
“That would have been fun to watch. No idea who these folks are, probably won’t watch.”
Yet, a supporter of the show’s cast countered the criticism, stating: “Some people don’t realise this is a British show – They are all British ‘celebrities’ we see them all the time, not household names but all people you have seen regularly on the telly.”
The line-up of celebrities braving the show includes Spice Girl Mel B, tennis icon Boris Becker, design guru Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, broadcaster Steph McGovern, and ex-rugby star Danny Cipriani.
