Chase’s loyal viewers were left “hot” after ITV decided not to air on Wednesday due to coverage of President Joe Biden’s US inauguration ceremony.
The game show featuring a new squeezer called Darragh Ennis won’t be airing on Wednesday and fans will have to wait for the next fix until Thursday.
Like The Chase, Tipping Point does not air as planned.
Instead, the broadcaster decided to broadcast the inauguration of the new president Joe Biden.
