Destination X viewers left distracted by 'naked people' as new clue exposed

Destination X returned to BBC One on Wednesday evening (August 6) with yet another gripping episode, though viewers were utterly perplexed by one particular moment.

Host Rob Brydon is currently guiding a team of participants across various European destinations with a single mission - to work out their location using solely the hints collected from tasks in each programme.

Throughout the reality series so far, contestants have already explored Paris in France, and Switzerland's iconic Matterhorn whilst travelling aboard the mysterious blacked-out coach.

However, in the coming episodes, additional players face elimination from the journey if their guesses prove too inaccurate when pinpointing their position on the map. The final remaining contestant will claim an incredible £100,000 jackpot.

In Wednesday's episode, participants journeyed by rail through stunning rural landscapes in an undisclosed nation, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Their challenge involved sampling local cuisine and deciphering transport tickets written in foreign languages to unlock clues about their next stop.

Yet as their train crossed a bridge, a small gathering of individuals could be spotted beside a camping structure, apparently without any clothing whatsoever.

The group appeared to be observing the passing locomotive and gesturing enthusiastically as it sped by, leaving players amused.

Destination X audiences were completely mystified by this bizarre sequence, with one viewer posting on X: "Dying at the naked people just casually waving #DestinationX."

One fan couldn't contain their excitement, exclaiming: "Nude! #DestinationX", while another quipped about the contestants' reaction: "It was at this point that the contestants asked for the windows to be frosted over again.."

Speculation ran rampant as one viewer pondered: "Could this weeks Destination X be Copenhagen? Red Shoes on the football magazine could refer to The Red Shoes by Hans Christian Anderson, and naked people Emperors New Clothes? #DestinationX".

Meanwhile, another fan found humour in the unexpected, joking: "#DestinationX didn't expect to see a man waving his sausage".

The third destination of the show was later revealed as Munich in Germany.

Destination X currently airs every Wednesday on BBC One and is available to catch-up on iPlayer
