VERNONG Kay's new show Game of Talents turned some viewers off their dinner after one contestant showed off a gross talent.

After a hugely successful stint as a campmate on last year’s I’m A Celebrity, he is back in the big time as the presenter of Britain’s Got ­Talent replacement, Game of Talents.

Game of Talents sees members of the public team up with celebrities to try to figure out the hidden talents of eight mystery ­performers.

In tonight's first episode, Vernon's wife Tess Daly, 52, joined in on the fun as did her Strictly Come Dancing co-star Craig Revel Horwood, .

But not everybody was keen on the show after one man named Paul showed off his incredible belching skills.

Tess was paired with contestant Ryan, and correctly guessed the man in front of them was in fact, the world's loudest burper.

Vernon laughed: "Yes Paul, the world's loudest burper!" after he ran over to the microphone and burped very loudly into it.

"Oh my gosh, I don't know whether to be impressed or not!" said Tess.

But fans watching at home knew exactly how they felt and that was 'disgusted'.

"That is disgusting # GameOfTalents," wrote one viewer on Twitter.

Another added: "Heart stopping moment when we thought this bloke wasn't going to burp. This is what Saturday night has come to. #GameOfTalents ".

And a third said:  "#GameofTalents sorry Vern... love you.... but that’s gotta be the worst tv show I’ve ever watched".

The last time Vernon and Tess — who have daughters Phoebe, 16, and ten-year-old Amber — worked together was on reality singing ­contest Just The Two Of Us, in 2007.

She was the main host while Vernon was on backstage duties, chatting to celebrity contestants after their duet with a professional singer.

Now Game of Talents has fired up the couple’s appetite to reunite on screen again.

He said: “When we did Just The Two Of Us, I had the role where you’re pretty much reactive to what you’ve just seen backstage, so I didn’t really have much to say.
