The Chase and Tipping Point yanked off air ALL WEEK in dramatic ITV shake-up

ITV has decided to overhaul its schedule for the coming week, with The Chase and Tipping Point being taken off the air.

Throughout the week, each show airs on the network, entertaining millions of viewers on a regular basis but this is all set to change.

Tipping Point, which is fronted by ITV favourite Ben Shephard kicks things off at 4pm, and sees four contestants battle it out to win a prize of £10,000 as well as a string of other luxury prizes.

Whereas The Chase, hosted by Bradley Walsh sees four brainy contestants go up against some of the finest quizzing brains in the nation including Anne Hegerty, Jenny Ryan and Mark Labett.

Unlike Tipping Point, there is no limit on how much a contestant can win on The Chase, with The Chaser having the final say on the grand total – although quizzers are able to choose if they would like to remain with their sum or change it for a higher or lower offer.

Sadly for fans of the show, they will have to wait a week to watch their favourite quiz programmes.

ITV have pulled them from the broadcasting schedule in favour of the horse racing at Royal Ascot.

Fear not – The Chase will be airing their celebrity edition of the programme on Saturday night which will include several famous faces swapping their regular jobs for the quiz desk.

However, viewers won't be able to tune into Tipping Point until it returns to screens on Monday, June 26, just one week after it last appeared on the network.

Racing coverage of the historic event kicks off at 1.30pm every day and continues until 6pm across ITV.

Viewers will see the likes of the Queen Anne Stakes race at 2.30, as well as others at 3.05, 3.40, 4.20, 5pm and 5.35pm.

The event which will likely see Their Majesties, King Charles and Queen Camilla, alongside other members of the Royal Family in attendance runs until Friday.

King Charles recently announced that this year's event will pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth's life and reign with the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.

This will also include pictures of some of her 24 winners in a special exhibition.

His Majesty, who has a passion for the environment also announced that the Village Enclosure at the regal event will be net carbon zero.

For the first time in over 70 years, the official racing at Royal Ascot carries a new cypher for Their Majesties, rather than E II R signifying Elizabeth Regina which was used over the course of the late Queen's reign.
