Gordon Ramsay fronted his new game show Bank Balance last night (February 24) and it’s fair to say viewers were less than impressed.
In fact, some branded it the “worst game show ever”, while others went one step further and said it was the “worst thing I’ve ever seen on TV”.
Chef Ramsay is yet to respond to any of the negative comments that surfaced on Twitter.
