Escape to the Country fans rage ‘it’s unwatchable’ as they slam celebrity spin-off
ESCAPE to the Country fans have fumed 'it's unwatchable' as they slammed the celebrity spin-off.
In their quest to relocate to the sticks, former Strictly Come Dancing pro dancers Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec searched for their dream place.
But BBC viewers were not impressed with the show and took to X/Twitter to express their criticism, calling it out of touch.
Fans were furious over the celebrity edition of the show, exclaiming, "Just because you can make a celebrity version doesn't mean you should!"
One follower fumed that it was "out of touch" and "condescending" to feature "two rich celebrities shopping for houses that are pushing £1m on a property show at 7pm on the BBC".
Another blasted: "Our licence fee is paying for their house in the f*****g country!!! Talk about rubbing it in our noses! Who the f*** commissioned this?!!"

Some viewers also slammed the properties shown in the episode.
One wrote: "Nothing about this episode is watchable. And please explain why 'celebrities' need help finding properties?"
A second complained: "Switching off from this show already, there's nothing interesting about it, and these houses are hideous."
Other names joining the incredible lineup for the celebrity spin-off, are: The nation's favorite panto dame and King of the Jungle, Christopher Biggins and TV quiz sensation, Jenny Ryan, AKA 'The Vixen' from The Chase.

Julie Shaw, Commissioning Editor, BBC Daytime and Factual, said: “Escape to the Country has been a staple in the BBC daytime schedule for 21 years. Audiences love this programme and watching the journeys the house-hunters go on, so it was about time we got to go house hunting with some famous faces. I can’t wait for this to land in the schedules.”
