The Weakest Link viewers all have the same complaint about latest celebrity special

FANS of The Weakest Link all had the same complaint at the latest edition of the celebrity special.

The BBC quiz favourite has seen a raft of famous faces take part in a series of celebrity specials over the festive period.

Fans claimed the celebs were ‘more useless than normal’

Drag queen Lawrence suffered a blunder

The show, hosted by comedian Romesh Ranganathan, welcomed another crop of celebs vying to win money for charity but left viewers all complaining they were ‘more useless than normal’.

Among the celebrities were ex-Loose Women star and actress Sherrie Hewson, TOWIE’s James ‘Arg’ Argent, content creator and social media star Harry Pinero and Drag Race UK winner Lawrence Chaney.

However fans could not believe the amount of questions the contestants were getting wrong.

One particularly embarrassing moment came from drag queen Lawrence.

Romesh asked the Scottish star: “In athletics, the runner who held the women’s world record in the marathon for 16 years until it was broken in 2019 is Paula who?”

Rather than correctly identifying it to be Paula Radcliffe, Lawrence stumbled and gave the name of 80s performer and choreographer and former X Factor USA judge Paula Abdul.

Lawrence remarked: “I don’t know… Paula Abdul.”

The onslaught of incorrect answers left fans at home fuming as one labelled it ‘shocking’ whilst another seethed: “These are as thick as ****. My god how do they get in in life.”

One fan commented: “Wow this group are atrocious.”

“Are they deliberately being thick!,” one fan groaned before another disgruntled telly watched wrote: “Totally asking myself this. I’ve had to switch over. I can’t bear watching it any longer.”

The final showdown was between comedian Susan Calman and TV and radio favourite OJ Borg who managed to salvage their reputations with some decent answers.

They tied in the final round before they were left facing sudden death whereby the first person to incorrectly answer a question would lose.

Susan eventually came out on top and managed to bag a stellar £11,250 for the charity of her choice.

OJ was one of the more impressive contestants
