Celebrity Traitors charity choices draw in negative reactions
Some social media users objected to the money supporting refugees, arguing that other causes should have benefited instead.
One viewer wrote: “Those charity choices just ruined that whole game…”
“As a licence fee payers, I’m disappointed to see that neither chose to support charities that support British people,” another said.
“Did the BBC pick the charities????” a third asked.
“I mean there are so many charities that don’t already have millions of £ in donations that could have used the money!” a fourth insisted.
