At the moment, the winning prize is a holiday to in Florida. page explains that the prize includes: "You and three guests will fly business class to , where you'll stay seven nights at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, experiencing the infinite magic across four Disney Theme Parks, Water Park fun and more! PLUS, you'll receive a $3,000 to spend while you're there!"
But Andi appeared to be a winner already as he shared the competition details from Florida himself - much to the annoyance of fans at home.
Posting to X (formerly Twitter) fans complained about the carbon footprint and the fact that he was getting a "free holiday". One angrily penned: "@GMB @Lauratobin1 Perhaps gmb should stop Andi Peters flying around the world to advertise the £2per entry competitions."
Another ranted: "Elitist women in an elitist's rocket is not inspiring it's typical & pathetic! Ps Laura saying it's great is silly talk when she goes on about climate change & then when we cut to Andi in a tropical country selling a competition that you won't win! Grumpy rant over."
"Who has the greatest carbon footprint? or Andi Peters?#gmb," a third quizzed while another posted: "@GMB @Lauratobin1 if they are so worried about CC then why do they keep flying Andi Peters and a camera team half way around the world for a 90 second promo clip?? Top quality Gas Lighting MSM BS."
One more adorned their post with eye-rolling emojis as they wrote: "Andi Peters getting another freebie holiday in Florida just to pimp the scam-petition."
The show has as Andi is often jetted around the world to promote the competition. Despite fans' complaints, ITV and all other shows are required to meet the BAFTA "albert Certification" standard - an initiative which aims to minimise the environmental impact of productions and promote sustainable practices.
It is understood that ITV are "committed to achieving the highest sustainability standards for both on-screen and off-screen operations" and "it's an area of huge importance across the network".
In a report published last year, Chris Kennedy, chair of ITV's Climate Action Delivery Group (CADG), said: "ITV's purpose is to entertain and connect with millions of people in the UK and globally, reflecting and shaping culture and building brands with brilliant content and creativity.
"This gives us the opportunity to use our content and reach to inspire positive change in the wider world, and to change ITV for the better too. Tackling the devastating impact of the climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. We believe it is the responsibility of all businesses to take meaningful action to reduce their carbon footprint in order to mitigate and prevent further climate change, and to participate actively in building a thriving net-zero economy."
The report also outlined the broadcaster's policies and steps to do what they can to help the climate.
