Danny Dyer and Emily Atack’s new quiz show Nobody’s Fool has got many fans ‘hooked’ following its debut on Saturday – although some have slammed it as being nothing more than a rip-off of The Traitors.
The programme is a quiz show with a twist, and it’s not contestants’ ability to get the right answer that counts – but how well they can convince their fellow contestants that they know what they are doing.
Like The Traitors, it’s fundamentally a game of deception with a big prize pot of up to £100,000 on offer.
The show’s synopsis reads: ‘It’s not about how smart you are, but how smart your rivals think you are. Expect lying, scheming, and a whole lot of quizzing.’
Following the show’s debut on Saturday, viewers were quick to take to social media to share their thoughts – and many were left thoroughly impressed.
They wrote: ‘Nobody’s Fool is addicting! It’s like I’m watching The Traitors and Secret Genius at the same time! Great new reality competition show! I’m hooked!’

Others praised: ‘Liking this new Nobody’s Fool so far on ITV.’;
‘I’m really into this now! #NobodysFool has me hooked.’;
‘This is the exact type of sh*t telly that I can’t help but love #Nobodysfool’;
‘#NobodysFool I enjoyed that. A bit of lighthearted entertainment, albeit got a wee bit heated.’;
‘Ooo I’m really enjoying this show. Nobody’s fool and I usually hate this kind of thing [sic].’
Other viewers had more mixed opinions with some describing it as ‘alright’ and others slamming the programme for being a rip-off of The Traitors.
Telly fans remarked: ‘Thought Nobody’s Fool was alright. Thought the Spa memory game was very Stu Francis Ultra Quiz – somebody bring that back with Atack and Dyer.’;
‘#NobodysFool is a poor rip off of #TheTraitorsUK.’

‘It looks like they have bits from several different shows and thrown them all together hoping it will make a good show, but it has failed miserably.’;
‘The elevator pitch for Nobody’s Fool was clearly “The Traitors but no likeable characters”.’
While the show has had a mixed reaction from fans, Emily and Danny said that they were fans from the get-go and praised the show’s unique format.
Danny Dyer said: ‘This is a blinder of a game show and unlike anything I’ve seen before.
‘Emily and I had a brilliant time making it and much like the audience at home will be, we were kept guessing right until the very end.’
Emily, meanwhile, added: ‘It’s so exciting to be part of something this new and fresh. The chance to work with Danny again was a no brainer for me.
‘We had such a laugh. Can’t wait for everyone to watch, it’s an absolute must see.’
Danny also hit out at allegations that the show is ITV’s answer to the BBC’s smash hit The Traitors.
Danny told The Chris Evans Breakfast Show: ‘I actually watch it unfold on the television and I would sit back and, you know, it’s a different kind of thing. And it does sound a bit like The Traitors… but it’s got its own energy.’
Nobody’s Fool continues on ITV1 on Mondays and Sundays at 9pm and is available to stream on ITVX.
