I'm not sure why there is concern around currently signing up for 2 series. It's been off the air for 5 years, a brand that has been heavily tarnished by Channel 5 and TV audiences has changed. At this point, we have no idea how it's going to perform. The six week run is perfect for a testing how it goes and if it goes well, next time around it could be extended. This was very much the strategy with Love Island that proved to work.

ITV have said that they don't just imagine this being a two six week series thing - it appears they're in this for the long haul.
Right? its seems people just love to moan
