The Chase format change makes viewers despair as they switch off

The Chase is one of the most popular shows on TV but viewers have been switching off in their droves this week.

The last week in August has seen a run of celebrity episodes, which aren't always popular with loyal viewers.

Thursday's episode of the show saw celebrities such as Greg Wallace and Denise Lewis take on Chaser The Dark Destroyer, Shaun Wallace.

But as Greg chatted to host Bradley Walsh about his hopes of bringing cash back to the team lots of viewers were driven to despair.

Many fans complained that another celebrity episode was on, following weeks of repeats in the summer already.

Liam T said: "More #thechase repeats. I'm off to #pointless "

Arthur Summersell said: "Bye chasers."

Simon said: "I hate the celebrity ones."

Andrew S said: "And so it goes on - day after day, week after week of repeats!"

swearycharley3 said: "Oh goodie a celeb edition today again (rolling eye emoji)."

Thankfully Chase fans won't have to wait long until new episodes arrive on screen, as the latest bunch of new episodes are set to air from Monday August 30.

*The Chase continues at 5pm on ITV tomorrow
