ITV HAS had another schedule shake-up as a beloved show was delayed to make way for racing coverage.
The broadcaster has adjusted its daytime telly offering this week to make way for the Cheltenham Festival.
Loose Women has been axed for the week to bring rolling coverage to racing fans.
And now Tipping Point fans have been left disappointed as the programme started later than normal.
The popular quiz show, which is presented by Ben Shephard, typically airs from 4pm on ITV1.
However, it came on air 30 minutes late on Tuesday – and with a twist.
Rather than seeing brand new gameplay, viewers watched as a compilation special aired instead.
Featuring a selection of reruns, the show was titled ‘Tipping Point: Best Ever Finals’.
Fans were outraged and took to social media to vent their anger at ITV.
One said: “Tipping Point replaced by four legged equine animals klaxon!”
A second fan reasoned: “Can’t understand why ITV can’t put the racing on one of its other 3 channels or put Lingo, Tipping Point on one of them instead.”
“No #tippingpoint because of that horse sh**e,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “Bloody horse racing taking tipping point off air.”
ITV plans to air another episode of Tipping Point: Best Ever Finals today at 4:30pm.
Meanwhile, Channel 4 has dropped A Place in the Sun from its schedules for the entire week.
