ITV Family Fortunes fans torn over Gino D'Acampo answer 'blunder'

Family Fortunes fans were divided over Gino D'Acampo's answer suggestion "blunder" this evening.

Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo hosts the revamped version of the hit game show on ITV.

The show sees two competing families go head to head to try and outsmart the other by coming up with the most popular answers to questions posed to the public.

The family who scores the most points go through to Big Money, which sees two of them answering just five questions for the £30,000 jackpot.

In tonight's episode, the Wilson family from Worcester took on the Popat family from Harrow.

Host Gino D'Acampo asked the players to name animals beginning with the letter A, with both struggling to find the fifth and final animal.

Gino joked: "I'm surprised nobody said 'amster'." Both families laughed at him before the host said: "Why are you laughing?"

Viewers were divided over the joke and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
