Alongside Coronation Street's Jennie McAlpine was Strictly star Ugo Monye and comedians Joe Pasquale and Felicity Ward.

One round saw the four celebs work together in teams of two to get find the average of different questions, one of which was: "According to the United Nations, how many litres of water does it take to produce a single pair of jeans?"

When it came to Ugo, 38, to give his answer, he said: "I think it's a stat I have heard before and hence the reason why I've decided not to wear jeans because they're not sustainable....are they Joe?"

Ugo then looked over at Joe, 60, who was wearing jeans and he replied with a laugh: "I'm only wearing one pair over the whole week though."

Jennie replied: "That's very sustainable Joe," while Ugo said: "That's rogue."

However, some viewers took issue with Ugo's comment, with one writing on Twitter: "@ugomonye just watching you on House of Games are your trainers sustainable."

Another replied: "With synthetic rubber soles, I doubt it. #beachball. So he doesn't wear cotton jeans because cotton uses water.

"He doesn't wear woollen trousers, so maybe he's wearing nylon or polyester, which are made using petroleum. Cotton sounds pretty sustainable given the practical alternatives."

A fellow viewer tweeted: "I watched House of games last night. A stat came up about how much water is required to make one pair of jeans.

"I assume it's about cotton growing really. Well Richard was wearing what looked like a pure cotton shirt. No mention of that. I wonder why?.. Hypocrisy maybe.Surely not."

But another viewer asked them: "Why is it hypocrisy? It was simply the answer to a question, not a documentary."
