THE Chase and Tipping Point fans have been left ‘furious’ as both shows have been hit by another schedule shake-up.
Both ITV quiz shows typically air weekday afternoons – with Tipping Point on air at 4pm.
Ben Shephard presents Tipping Point
Bradley Walsh presents The Chase which usually airs at 5pm
It’s presented by Good Morning Britain‘s Ben Shephard and sees four players take on an ‘extraordinary’ machine to win a cash jackpot.
The Chase typically follows afterwards at 5pm and is presented by Bradley Walsh.
It also sees four contestants take part, as they answer general knowledge questions while trying to beat a professional quizzer known as a ‘Chaser’.
However, due to coverage of the FIFA World Cup, both shows were on earlier than usual.
Tipping Point kicked off at the earlier time of 3:30pm while The Chase aired at 4:30pm.
Fans weren’t happy with the changes – while some were unaware of the new timeslots.
Taking to social media, one wrote: “What in the space / time continuum is going on , it’s not 5 o’clock yet #TheChase.”
While another said: “#TheChase is on at the wrong time.”
Posting about Tipping Point, one viewer said: “Ey up sorry I’m late didn’t realise it was on early or at all!!”
“Aaaand bloody wonderful to have an ep of #TippingPoint on, even though it’s weird time & a repeat,” said another.
Soaps have been affected by the World Coverage also which has left fans bewildered.
It comes as the major broadcasters prioritise coverage of the games which are taking place in Qatar.
Fans weren’t happy as they tuned in to discover Tipping Point was already on air by 30 minutes
The Chase began on ITV1 at 4:30pm
