CHANNEL 4’s Rise and Fall set the bar for shock TV high early in the series when contestants had to eat dog food for cash.
But last night participants were again put through the grinder – leaving several viewers furious.
Rise and Fall’s ‘Grafters’ had to clear a room of cockroaches with kitchen utensils
Some viewers complained about ‘cruelty to animals’ during the show
The cast of Grafters – who live lives of misery in the basement – were made to handle hundreds of live cockroaches.
Meanwhile, the Rulers in the penthouse, who stand to benefit from the money they raised, watched on.
The contestants were left screaming as the insects surged into the room – with their challenge to get a certain number of them back into a see-through box.
Many viewers felt the same way, with one tweeting: “Omg my worst nightmare!”
Others were more worried for the animals, who were scooped up with kitchen utensils, carried, or even thrown.
One viewer wrote: “So many roaches being crushed & killed for the sake of entertainment.”
Another said: “Cruelty to animals in the name of entertainment. Shame on you.”
A third said: “why are reality shows still using animals for entertainment I don’t care if it’s a snail or a cockroach it’s still a living being that doesn’t deserve being chucked into a room of people for entertainment.”
Several pointed out the similarities between the challenge and the Bushtucker Trials of the jungle with one branding it “I’m a Celeb indoors”.
They were also challenged to tackle snails, with locusts and maggots also available to be unleashed.
