What Happened?
A new ITV challenge show faced turmoil when three contestants had to be urgently taken to the hospital. The show, inspired by Squid Games, required participants to jump into a 20ft hay pile to avoid elimination.
Background on the Show
The upcoming ITV show '99 to Beat' features contestants competing in physical tasks to avoid elimination until one winner remains. The show, hosted by Adam and Ryan Thomas, is produced by Initial TV, known for hits like Big Brother and Total Wipeout.
Medical Emergencies
During filming, three contestants needed hospital care due to allergic reactions, with others receiving on-site treatment. One individual fainted in the toilets post-challenge, sustaining a head injury but no life-changing harm.
Past Incidents
In a similar incident, contestants on a Netflix Squid Game spin-off in November 2023 faced health issues, leading to legal action. Some reported serious injuries like hypothermia and nerve damage after prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures.
Production's Response
The production company assured that contestant welfare is a priority, with health and safety protocols regularly reviewed. Filming was temporarily halted but is set to resume soon. ITV declined to provide comments on the matter.
