HOLLY Willoughby and Bradley Walsh’s fans have shared their confusion over the timing of their new game show Take Off.
The BBC One show kicked off tonight with plenty of fun and games and in-flight entertainment – but viewers said they spotted one BIG problem.
As people watching at home tuned in they wondered why it was on air in the first place, as lucky contestants were awarded holidays.
Some fans said it was inappropriate timing during the pandemic as they can’t travel due to Covid and are desperate to get away.
Trips to America were dished out by Holly, 40, and Bradley, 61 – but the US isn’t currently accepting travellers from the UK.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer moaned: “So have I got this right? Bradley Walsh’s and Holly Willoughby’s new show is about people trying to win holidays…even though we can’t travel anywhere?”
Another scoffed: “Sooo bbc1 Saturday night primetime show is #Takeoff about holidays…crazy these schedules”
And one more pondered in a tweet: “Given when this was filmed, I bet the winners are still yet to go on their holiday?”
As another fumed: “Begging for a holiday so badly, and now we have to put up with TakeOff being on TV!”
No ones taking off…
“No ones Taking Off …what an inappropriate show for this moment in time,” another commented.
In a shock move Holly, 40, has teamed up with The Chase star Bradley, 61, on the new series that last aired as a one-off Christmas special back in December 2019.
Before tonight’s programme aired a BBC announcer introduced the show and said it was filmed before lockdown.
This evening’s winners nabbed trips to star-studded Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and Blackpool.
Holly previously explained the show’s concept on The One Show and said: “So basically what we’re doing is giving away holidays.
“We have a big plane in the studio so people have to do different tasks and games and if they’re lucky enough they get a seat on the plane.
“So they could go to Mexico, the Caribbean, Las Vegas..”
She added: “Most of my job on that show is babysitting Bradley Walsh. He is a law unto himself.
“He is a complete joy to work with but a complete nightmare!”
