Fans were left gutted after the sat down at breakfast and discovered the loveable lady had left and wished that 'annoying' Joe had had the chop instead.

Taking to X they fumed: 'Why didn't they murder Joe? The public deserve better': 'They didn't murder the awful Joe? Big Mistake Huge!': 'Wait I realise they didn't murder Joe': 'How dare they murder a woman of god'.

However fans were quickly distracted and left in hysterics when the contestants set off on their latest task and were challenged to haul huge Easter Island style statues up a mountain in order to add more money to the prize.

Once the props had been placed on their side to be carried it couldn't help but be noticed they resembled something very rude indeed.

Again taking to X they shared a whole host of double entendre and laughed: 'Is it meant to look like... that?': 'I'm sorry priest Linda I have sinned with my dirty mind': 'They knew what they were doing with those torsos haven't laughed so much in ages'.
