THE GAMES fans have complained about the number of adverts and said the show is overly “padded out” to fill an hour slot.
On Wednesday’s instalment, popstar George Ezra opened the third episode with his new track.
But ITV viewers have suggested that the show doesn’t know what it wants to be and were baffled by tonight’s “random” start.
One wrote: “Why is George Ezra here? #TheGames”
Another posted: “This has more padding than a bubble wrap factory. #TheGames”
A third said: “I’m not sure what this programme knows what it is – part chat show, part advice/interview show, part music, loads of adverts. One thing for sure – very little sports/games. #The Games”

“#TheGames It’s that bad they are padding out the show before it’s even started,” a fourth commented.
“Just when I thought #TheGames couldn’t get any sh***** they hit us with George Ezra,” another chimed in.
Another added: “That was a random start to the show. Anyone else feel that they are filling the show to pad and there are too many adverts? #TheGames”
The sporting competition has been pushing the celebrities to their limits.

Actor Colson Smith revealed the heartbreaking reason he never learned to swim until The Games.
The actor – who plays Craig Tinker in the ITV soap – is taking part in the new sports series alongside a host of other well known faces
The sports show sees the celebs take on a variety of sports, one of which was swimming.
However, Colson, 23, revealed he had only learned to swim five weeks ago in preparation for the show.
In the last couple of years Colson has lost an incredible 10 stone after taking up running, and he admitted it was his weight that had stopped him getting in the pool during his school years.
He said: “In school I hated swimming because I was the fat kid. So I used to basically refuse to swim.
“When I found out about this I didn’t want to do it, and then I kind of said it’s about time I stopped saying no because of the way that I look and the way that I feel.

“This competition is kind of gonna be me versus me, I just want to show myself that Colson has no limits and he really is just gonna keep pushing it all the way.”
When it came to the race, Colson finished in last place but he was far from disappointed as he still achieved his personal best by completing the race in under a minute.
The Games continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV.
