It feels quite awkward and clunky to me at the moment - I don’t think that’s a symptom of the set but it definitely is due to how they’re utilising it. The shot of them in front of the audience just sort of emphasised how small it is to me.

I will always love Elstree’s early C4 sets - I know that’s biased because of nostalgia, but the housemates walking up the stairs back into the real world always felt iconic. It felt like more of a separation from the outside world to the show, and the tension of the housemates waiting to be let out into the audience was amazing and humanised it all. ITV2’s exits seem quite manufactured and camp which ruins the whole “social experiment” vibe they said they were going for. They may as well hand the evictee some sparklers and shoot them out of a cannon instead.
