ITV faced a number of complaints today as furious viewers asked why two presenters were sent overseas for the competition segment.
Both Lisa Snowdon and Andi Peters are in the Seychelles fronting one of ITV’s competitions.
However, against a backdrop of huge cuts at the network, viewers have questioned if both presenters needed to be flown out to front the segment.

ITV cuts… yet competitions still filmed overseas?
Last May, ITV announced huge cuts. Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women were all affected.
Lorraine Kelly and her daytime show has arguably been the hardest hit. It’s been cut from 60 minutes to 30, and will only run over 30 weeks of the year, instead of the usual 52. This means that Lorraine’s half-term stand-ins, Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh, have seen their roles on the show slashed.
