“Abysmal”, “embarrassing”, “mind-numbingly bad”: Twitter was not impressed by Stars in Their Eyes
ITV swapped Matthew Kelly for Harry Hill – but should the original have ever been rebooted?
Published:
But against this tide of dislike, it wasn’t all bad – a few lone voices were fans of the new series, and took to social media to defend it.
Loved Harry Hills #starsintheireyes last night he’s just reinvented the show and made it his own.Brilliant.

And some others managed to find silver linings even if the format didn’t entirely convince
At least if #StarsInTheirEyes fails, sorry I mean WHEN, there might be a chance TV Burp returns

At the end of the day we have to ask – was it even worth reviving? This guy seems to sum up a lot of Twitter feeling on the subject.
But a series of embedded tweets can’t fully gauge the reaction – what did you think? Was the Stars in Their Eyes reboot a disaster that should never have happened, or is it a big improvement on the Matthew Kelly years? Vote now!Should Stars in their Eyes have been revived?
