The Chase and Tipping Point dropped from TV schedules due to racing

ITV1 gameshows The Chase and Tipping Point have been temporarily axed from TV schedules as different programmes are aired. Presented by Ben Shephard and Bradley Walsh, many viewers tune into the weekday quiz shows to test their knowledge.

Tipping Point normally airs at 5pm on weekdays and The Chase straight after at 6pm. However both shows are missing from the TV schedule for Wednesday, June 21.

Both shows will also be missing on Thursday, June 22, and Friday, June 23. This is because, on all three days, ITV1 is instead airing racing live from Royal Ascot.

Ascot coverage will air from 1.30pm to 6pm on each of the three days. Tipping Point and The Chase will return on Monday, June 26 in their normal timeslots.

Recently on The Chase host Bradley Walsh was left very unimpressed when one contestant said that she thought she was going to be on Tipping Point and wanted to meet host Ben Shephard. Kerry appeared on The Chase and brutally told Bradley how handsome she thought Ben was and made it clear she preferred him while Bradley was left speechless.

Bradley managed to reply: "I'm not Ben Shephard – more like a German shepherd." Further insult was added when Meg, a contestant who is 21, did not understand what Bradley meant when he referenced the comic Desperate Dan. While Meg laughed Bradley said it was "over" for him.

He said: "You don't remember the comics I used to read, its all gone horribly wrong! It's over for me, it's over!" while the other contestants laughed along. You can keep up to date with the latest TV and showbiz news by signing up to the newsletter here.
