Survival of the fittest

Last night saw the start of ITV2's brand-new reality TV show Survival of the Fittest and it was right up our street.

Not only were we introduced to whole bunch of mega fit new stars and a swanky AF lodge in the middle of the South African Sahara, we also saw the guys and girls take on their first challenge.

Which, unfortunately, lead to Danny Dyer's daughter Dani injuring her shoulder and being forced to drop out of the competition.

Check out the full line-up below:

But while we were in our element watching a load of super fit boys and girls battle it out for a chance of bagging a share of the £40,000 prize, not everyone was as impressed.

Viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the new show and some were not particularly complimentary.

While show bosses had hoped Survival Of The Fittest would fill the huge empty void left my last summer's Love Island until the new series starts up again in summer 2018, for some it didn't quite live up to expectations.

Several Twitter uses harshly branded it a 'BTEC version of Love Island' - referring to the A Level qualification alternative.

One viewer wrote: "Survival of the fittest just seems like a BTEC Love Island tbh."

Another said: "Why am I watching the BTEC Love Island! Survival of the fittest?? More like survival of the biggest munter."

Bit harsh, in our opinion.
