Gordon Ramsay's Bank Balance was panned by viewers this evening, some of whom switched off as they branded it a "rip off" of Million Pound Drop.
The usually sweary celebrity chef, 54, returned to screens with a brand new quiz show on the BBC which left viewers a little puzzled.
Its format saw a pair of contestants answer various questions so that they can place stacks of gold bars on a Balance Board.
The more bars they were able to build up, the more they were be able to win - which can escalate to a prize pot of £100,000.

Yet fans found it tough to watch, with some blasting it as "unbearable" and suggesting that it was too similar to hit Channel 4 show Million Pound Drop.
One tweeted: "This is a rip off of The Million Pound Drop #BankBalance."
While another wrote: "*switches off* #BankBalance."
A third fumed: "I've just switched off #BankBalance two of the most annoying contestants in the world and charmless bully boy Ramsay in charge... Give me the chase any day!"
"#BankBalance had enough already switching off this c**p!" another raged.
A viewer fumed: "#BankBalance nope, not getting any better and @GordonRamsay is no game show host. Switched off."
Another lamented: "#BankBalance an hour of my life i will never get back the auditions must of asked for annoying,loud,talk a lot about nothing in particular, I'm off now to take some paracetamol."
