ITVThere’s no doubt the contestants have to be physically fit for the show but the latest task takes things down a different route entirely.
It seems producers behind the tough assault-course based programme in the UK suffered a total fail when their choice of font for the latest title caused hysterics.
Instead of the innocent ‘Final Stage’, which was supposed to caption the next level to the competition, their use of font makes the words appear to read ‘Anal Stage’.

I can’t imagine that was the effect TV bosses were hoping for…
Unfortunately for the creators, their font error did not go unnoticed as fans picked up on the blunder plastering it across the internet.
Here’s some of what is doing the rounds on Twitter:
Really need to work on that font!!

Here’s a video if you fancy seeing it in action. The title, not anything else.
Oh dear.
Producers are not going to be happy with that one. I really hope it’s just a case of blurry font though and not a new unconventional challenge they’ve decided to add.
