Official ratings are taken from BARB and include ITV2 +1. Catch-up service totals are added to the official ratings. Because the Saturday episodes are weekly catch-up episodes  rather than nightly highlights, these are not included in the overall averages. Controversies. Ollie Williams. Viewers called for contestant Ollie Williams to be axed after pictures were obtained by "The Sun" showing him posing next to animal corpses from endangered species in South Africa. A representative of Williams claimed he is a "conservationist and worked with an anti-poaching unit in Mozambique" involved in the culling of sick animals. However, according to "Metro" Williams is the director of a hunting business known as Cornish Sporting Agency. In since-deleted images on his social media, Williams is seen posing with dead  animals alongside his clients. It led to a Change.org petition to remove Williams from the series. Regulator Ofcom received 272 complaints after the first airing, 231 of which regarding Williams inclusion on the show. The producers stated they had no intention of removing Williams, saying they "refuse to back down to the public" and that they believed it would "blow over".
