Viewers tuning in to watch legendary duo Ant and Dec’s new Limitless Win gameshow have been left bemused with many complaining they couldn’t follow the complicated rules.

Some even compared the shows complex rules to the legendary joke gameshow Numberwang created for sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Look:
