ITV schedule in major shake-up leaving Tipping Point fans filled with rage

ITV revamped their regular programme scheduling on Monday, leaving fans completely frustrated.

Tipping Point is slated to air on weekdays at 4pm, often drawing in audiences in their millions as hopefuls battle it out to walk away with £10,000.

But on Bank Holiday Monday (May 8), fans were far from impressed as they were left watching an episode of Tenable which is normally off the air by 4pm.

The shake-up came after the network completely revamped its broadcasting schedule to coincide with King Charles and Queen Camilla's Coronation celebrations over the weekend.

Instead, those who wanted to tune into Tipping Point were informed that it would air at a later time of 5pm, while The Chase would start at 6.30pm.

This didn't go down too well with fans who rushed to social media to share their thoughts, with one writing: "Tipping Point or Pointless or Tenable? Can't keep up ITV!"

A second went on to type: "Bloody hell, thought it was time for #thechase! so confused lol. Go again! Good evening Tippers! #tippingpoint."

"#tippingpoint starting now #thechase after the news folks, don't ask me why the schedule is all messed up," said a third confused fan.

Another typed: "Late time (again), but here we go! #TippingPoint."

"#BankHolidayMonday screwing with the TV schedule #Tenable #TippingPoint," fumed a fifth.

Meanwhile, fans were left complaining over host Ben Shephard's "annoying" habit during a recent episode of the game show.

As each hopeful continued to progress through the competition in a bid to raise cash to add to their banks, fans noticed that the host often repeats a question in full.

If the hopeful runs out of time while Ben is asking a question, he makes the decision to read the question out in full, to find out if they knew the answer.

However, this hasn't gone down too well with some viewers believing it's a waste of time.

Over on Twitter, they rushed to complain with one penning: "Ben we don’t care about you repeating questions when you just said 90% of it."

"Show would last half as long if Ben didn’t repeat all these bl**dy questions.. #tippingpoint," said a second.

Before a third commented: "Why does Ben Shephard repeat the questions on #TippingPoint after the end of a contestant's go when they've got the answer right?"

"Repeats question that no one cares about klaxon! #tippingpoint," typed another on the micro-blogging site.
