ITV quiz show The Chase has become a tea-time favourite for many across the country - but from next week it will be replaced by another game show called Cash Trapped.
From Monday, November 11, The Chase's regular 5pm slot will be filled by a show which is already on its third series, although many may not be familiar with it as Cash Trapped initially ran between August 2016 and September 2017.
For those who mainly tune in for comedian Bradley Walsh's warmth and wit, do not fear, as he is also the host.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the show sees six contestants compete through four rounds. All six remain on the show until one of them successfully "escapes" in the final round.
Any contestant who wishes to leave the show at the end of an episode may do so, but will forfeit their accumulated money; they are replaced by a new contestant who start with nothing.
ITV hasn't announced if the replacement is permanent, although a popular Chaser has shed some light on what the future holds for the show.
When a fan took to Twitter to ask Anne Hegerty when The Chase would be starting again, she replied: "CT is only on for five weeks, and this year we have TWO Christmas specials for you!!"
The fan then asked if the next series of The Chase would start in December or January and Anne replied: "I have no idea, transmission schedule and recording schedule are quite seperate."
Some fans are not happy about the scheduled change.
Sue Goldsmith said: "Not happy that we are losing The Chase for Cash trapped. As much as I think you're great Bradders, it isn't the same as The Chase."
Strictly Superfan said: "Please axe @CashTrapped , nobody likes it, and there will be a major uproar from the chase fanbase. I for one will not watch."
And Stephanie Treasure said: "Um... what is this #cashtrapped coming on Monday @ITV ? Where is my beloved #TheChase ?!"
ITV has been contacted for comment.
