"I was there," he said, nodding to the picture of a crowded beach on the screen.

Zoe turned to him and exclaimed: "You were there?!"

"I mean, we were all social distancing from each other but there were groups where people [weren't]."

This comes after a major incident was declared in Bournemouth last week after thousands of people flocked to the beach on the hottest day of the year.

Thousands gathered on the beach as temperatures soared to 33C in the UK, with officials describing the scenes as "appalling".

As pictures were shown on screen of packed Bournemouth beach, the celebrities on the Channel 4 show gasped at the scenes.

Zoe exclaimed: "Oh my god, people with their kids - what are you doing?!"
