THE Great Yorkshire Show viewers were forced to "switch off" as they blasted Emmerdale's Paddy for his hosting.
Actor Dominic Brunt – who plays veterinarian Paddy Kirk on the ITV soap – appeared on the agricultural show on Wednesday.
However, viewers were confused to see the actor on the Channel 5 programme.
One viewer wrote: "Today at the #GreatYorkshireShow on Channel 5 well not really is it? It's just yak yak yak from presenters! 30 mins in and seen nothing yet.. total disappointment."
Another posted: "Only channel 5 could make the #GreatYorkshireShow totally unwatchable, congratulations."
A third echoed: "Just watching Today at the #GreatYorkshireShow on #channel5. Stick to the acting Paddy."

"I am frightened I am going to make a fool out of myself in front of thousands of people at The Great Yorkshire Show.
"I'm looking forward to it, but I am also super nervous that I am going to be rubbish."
Dominic was shown the ropes by farmer Erin Fflur McNaught and her sheep dog Theo.
She taught the actor everything she knew about sheepdog handling in one afternoon.
The TV star admitted he was still nervous about participating in the trial.
Dominic was told the dog would do all of the work, but he admitted: "I am very much a fish out of water at the moment, so I hope you can look after me."
Dominic did his best to learn three basic commands which were, "come by", "stand" and "away".
He then took on the challenge and entered the show ring with his flock of sheep and Theo.
