Gary Barlow is to host yet another celebrity travel show, and people have run out of patience – 15 favourite reactions

There’s no shortage of celebrity travel shows, providing people who can already afford holidays with one that’s not only free, but they get paid for it.

Off the top of our heads, we can think of –

Travel Man

Amanda and Alan’s Italian Job

Breaking Dad – with Bradley and Barney Walsh

Jack Whitehall – Travels with my Father

Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip

The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan

And never forget the irrepressible Michael Palin, who has done too many to list here.

But there’s to be a new kid on the block in the form of Take That singer and X Factor judge, Gary Barlow.

It looks like ITV’s plan to let Gary shine might be one travel show too far. These reactions said it all.

Person you don’t like travels to places you’ll never visit with people on a freebie they don’t need to say things you already know in a show you won’t watch. https://t.co/AxFFIolB9D

Sink a pint every time he mentions the fact he owns a vineyard, or makes his own wine, and you'll be on your way to A&E before the 2nd ad break. https://t.co/J46AAW9MlM

New show should be called
“Peasant Aspirations” and should specifically contain a talk to camera section every week where the celeb talks to viewers telling them how they will never be able to afford this & yet they can & are offered this for free & are actually paid to do it https://t.co/YeICm4hyNU

Alan Partridge has been thinking up TV programme ideas again. https://t.co/RJJrJqtEmy

Not all boy band spinoff shows are out of the question. Get ready for it.

Either give us 'Boyzone's War Zones' or don't bother at all https://t.co/C3ZaZq6sRf

We pray a programme commissioner somewhere sees this and gives the public what it wants.
