Late and Live has now being by a visualised podcast series called Big Brother: The Group Chat.

Reacting to the all new show, which aired on Monday night, fans were left disgruntled as they moaned about the new programme.

One person said on X: “I couldn’t watch anymore of the group chat its boring as hell bring back Late & Live.”

Another echoed: “Omg I could NOT cope with 2 minutes of the quietness on Group Chat, this is boring garbage. Scrap it asap!!!!”

“Nah I’m sorry but the Big Brother: The Group Chat isn’t for me. It feels the same as Late & Live and what’s with the awkward stare before the ad break it just feels odd,” penned a third.

“Begrudgingly I hope @bbuk The GroupChat absolutely flops, and they realise they screwed up,” said a fourth.

“Just did about three minutes of that Group Chat thing, It’s awful,” added a fifth.

While a sixth said: “Bit of a yawn fest this group chat.”

And a seventh penned: “As a podcast on top of the normal level of Big Brother coverage, The Group Chat would be a decent listen

“As a television show and the ONLY content we’re getting in addition to the main show this year, it’s beyond dire

“It’s really beginning to feel like #BBUK is on its knees.”
