The week 6 Sunday episode did not air due to the passing of former host Caroline Flack. ==Controversy==

Viewers called for contestant Ollie Williams to be axed after pictures were obtained by The Sun showing him posing next to animal corpses from endangered species in South Africa. A representative of Williams claimed he is a "conservationist and worked with an anti-poaching unit in Mozambique" culling sick animals, while Metro reported Williams is the director of Cornish Sporting Agency, a hunting business. In since-deleted images on his social media, Williams posed with dead animals alongside his clients. A Change.org petition was started to remove Williams from the series.
