Viewers have been left disappointed after two ITV shows have been pulled from air all week. Due to organisation's coverage of the Royal Ascot Festival, ITV has had to scrap the gameshows on its channel this week.
Tipping Point and The Chase will not be aired all week, with fans having to wait until Monday, June 26. Hosted by Good Morning Britain's Ben Shephard, Tipping Point sees four contestants compete against each other by answering questions and dropping counters into the tipping machine in a bid to win £10,000 in cash at the end of the show.
Whereas the Chase, hosted by ex-Corrie star Bradley Walsh, airs straight after and shows hopefuls compete against serial quizzers for a cash prize. From Tuesday, June 20 to Saturday, June 24 ITV will be airing coverage from the Royal Ascot each day from 1:30pm until 6pm reports Bristol Live.
Should the TV Licence be scrapped? Let us know
Tipping Point and the original version of The Chase will return to our screens on Monday evening next week. However, last week fans of the latter were left astounded as a "rubbish" contestant made history on the show.
Beautician Janty tried her luck on The Chase, but was unable to answer any of the questions thrown her way in the initial cash builder round. As a result, she met Chaser Jenny Ryan, also known as The Vixen, she had no money on the table.
Fans of the show expressed their confusion over Janty's "worst ever" cash-builder round on social media, with one questioning: "Did that actually just happen?" However, the Essex girl soon had viewers eating their words when it came to her showdown with Jenny.
As The Vixen refused to offer Janty a sum lower than zero, she tempted her with an eye-watering higher offer of £40,000. Janty had branded her performance as being "rubbish" and after losing two of her fellow contestants, Janty told Bradley "you're only here once" as she accepted the high offer.
To everyone's shock, Janty smashed her head-to-head with Jenny, managing to escape the Chaser and making it through to the Final Chase with a whopping £40,000. Bradley was unable to contain his surprise at Janty's unexpected victory.
He ran off set with his arms in the air as he shouted: "I can't believe that! Janty, that was tremendous," Bradley continued.
"That will go down for me in Chase history. That was absolutely thrilling. I loved every second of that."
But despite Janty's unbelievable victory, the beautician failed to bring the same knowledge to the Final Chase. Standing as a one woman band, Janty was only able to answer six questions correctly, enabling Jenny to catch her within just 34 seconds.
