ITV was forced to pull The Chase from the evening schedules last night after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak held an emergency press conference.
Rishi announced that a general election will be taking place on July 4. And he did it during a press conference that was due to start at 5pm. The same time that The Chase is on.
As a result, quiz show fans were entirely up in arms.
Rishi Sunak wins zero fans as ITV pulls The Chase from schedules
The PM announced that he’ll be holding a general election on July 4.
And, after his short speech went out live on air, ITV1 and BBC One both handed over to political correspondents for their reaction.
Sadly for The Chase fans, the episode didn’t move in the schedules, it was completely removed from them.
‘Nobody’s interested in the general election’
“Whatever happened to a quick newsflash between programmes?!” wrote one disgruntled fan of The Chase on Twitter.
