Not a single minute, no.



I have not watched it since the days of Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. I have given it a very wide berth since the awful Swash got involved.

This show is truely horrendous. I have watched every one of the spin off shows from durdan-smith, willis, flack, whitmore but these 4 ...no no no.

It does not work in the slightest. They are just dreadful.

The show needs proper people with presenting skills, there must be hundreds out there who would kill for a job like this who has actually studied in presenting. Let them make a name for themselves instead of these muppets. The kids from secret lives of 4 yr olds would make a better job of it than this mob.
Similar thoughts from me.

I stuck with it, hoping it would improve, because it's been an integral part of my enjoyment of the main show, but finally gave up.


As well as having ALL the presenters being inarticulate, and inexperienced, the whole structure of the programme was terrible. There was no ''light and shade'' with different sections for different aspects.

Even the name ''Extra Camp'' was dumbfoundingly unoriginal.

It was one long ''we're all mates together'' Laugh Laugh Laugh ad infinitum (except only funny to them, seemingly)

I had no interest in the 'guests' (who?) or them being rivals in the tasks (yawn. Seen 'em already)

And as for the ridiculous 'quiz' times? (I'd yawn again, but for the screeching )

In fact, inane screeching is my main recollection of watching.

A complete disaster, and spoilt my enjoyment of IACGMOOH more than I would like to admit to intelligent company!

Maybe if everyone contacted them about how dire Extra Camp was, it might give them food for thought.

That is exactly the same email as I got DD but I did send another to ask if they had a response from the relevant team and their reply to that was that they like to refresh their format from time to time. I was trying to encourage people early on in the series to email ITV but I think only a couple of people did. However, I don't expect ITV to say yes actually it was a lot of s**t and we made a huge mistake. It will be interesting to see what they do next year.

Well at least we tried and hopefully others will have done or will do the same.

Cummon folks.........get complaining.

The show was a mess, I hope that none of them are ever on there again. Swash is only there as he will do the trials that no sane person will do day after day. I cannot think of any other reason other than he pays them!

Stacey couldn't reign things in, she was like a young Peggy Ollerenshaw (Hi-de-Hi) on speed. She just couldn't control her excitement and her voice kept getting higher.

Vicky...omg, cant believe the thing she said to Joel on the final night I hope she disappears off our screens.

I watched the first show, then taped the rest to fast forward to the campmates interviews...although that was a chore with these amateurs.

They need to get rid of the current presenters, get rid of the stupid quiz/game show bits and do something completely different if its going to get viewers.

I too got the same email. I switched Extra Camp after 15 minutes of the first episode. I could not understand Solomon or Pattison all the time. Extra Camp was DIRE, unfunny - same old 'guests' and it felt stale.

Won't bother with either main program or spin-off next year.

Awful - Vicky needs to go
Pattison trying to act like a mid nineties ladette about twenty years too late, Swash like a cut price Joe Pasquale and for the love of god Solomans shreiking voice was unbearable after the first ten minutes.felt sorry for the other guy to be honest.how some people stuck with this excruciating mess night after night I cant Imagine.

I don't think I ever managed to watch more than fifteen minutes. Vicky is just insufferable and not cut out for a presenting gig, far too "in your face" and vulgar, though what do you expect from a former Geordie Shore cast member. I wouldn't be surprised if Scarlett ends up on the show, because she has the same characteristics as Vicky but is a lot more family-friendly.

From what I did see, however, Chris Ramsay showed potential and was quite natural, he seemed a very decent presenter.

agreed. chris was a pleasant suprise, only one capable of presenting. He held the show together , it would have been an even bigger trainwreck if he wasnt there.

the other 3 couldnt hide their bias. staceys love for adam was stomach churning , she wouldnt have a bad word said about him.

however bad the show was the penultimate quiz i cracked up to the point i was in tears , funniest moment of the series.

Didn't watch it. The 5 second preview we saw looked bad enough. The main presenter/comedian guy I have seen on stuff before and hes funny. But I can't stand Joe Swash. Stacey actually seems OK. I liked Vicky in last years IACGMOOH too but I think the whole combination looked awful.

I've gogled a link (its from the Sun), the video is at the bottom of the page,
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...aked-sex-tape/

With a bit of luck, P45 forms have been swiftly issued (I'm willing to bet Swash will return next year, nobody else will do all the trials).

Well lets hope that that comment will be the final nail in her coffin. Surely ITV wont be daft enough to have that team back next year.

''Terrible presenters. Awful television. But I watched every single second just to make sure. Why would I want to sit through TV I actually enjoyed when I can moan instead?'' - What an honest opinion from a DS former would look like...

I think Scarlett Moffatt is an absolute shoe-in to replace Vicky Pattinson next year on the Extra programme.

As for Joe Swash - just HOW does this inarticulate cretin get presenting work year in, year out?

Same. I will never even give it another chance until he's gone. He is the reason they put me off it years ago... well, and Russell Kane.

Well there doesn't seem to be any end to Vicky getting tv work thrown at her.

The segment she did with ferne McCann travelling in Italy will now turn into a full show for itvbe

Well Ive come to the conclusion that I'm officially an old fuddy duddy. Cant believe that the viewing figures on Extra Camp were more than double on some shows.

I'm certainly out next year if they are back on Extra Camp and I'm beginning to think that I wont even watch the main show as there seems to be no chance of anyone older 30 and not a reality tv 'star' winning.
