BBC Michael McIntyre's The Wheel sparks complaints as fans 'can't watch' anymore
The Wheel returned to screens on Saturday night with comedian Michael McIntyre back at the helm Viewers of Michael McIntyre 's The Wheel were left underwhelmed by the latest episode of the BBC quiz show. Saturday night (July 19) saw the return of the gameshow with comedian Michael McIntyre once again steering the ship. A new group of celebrity experts, including Harry Redknapp, Carol Vorderman, Nick Grimshaw, Andi Oliver, Tom Read Wilson, Angela Scanlon, and Chunkz, joined him to assist contestants in their quest for a substantial cash prize. Despite the star-studded lineup, fans quickly voiced their displeasure upon realising they were watching a repeat. One viewer vented on social media: "@BBCOne really going for it this Saturday night with 5 (FIVE) game shows back to back." Another expressed confusion: "Don't understand why they repeat quiz shows.", reports the Daily Record. A third remarked: "As soon as we saw Angela's topic we knew it was a repeat," alluding to Angela's speciality subject of 'redheads'. Yet another commented: "Love the show even if it is a repeat." Some viewers also reported feeling queasy while tuning in. One person wrote: "Has anyone every got motion sickness on The Wheel whilst it's spinning?" Another shared: "Can't watch The Wheel on the BBC. It makes me feel dizzy and sick." However, there's a silver lining for fans of the show, as a brand-new sixth series of Michael McIntyre's The Wheel is set to air later this year. In April, the BBC announced that it had commissioned two more series each of Michael McIntyre's Big Show and Michael McIntyre's The Wheel. Michael McIntyre has expressed his delight over the success of his hit shows, stating: "I'm so proud of the success of both The Big Show and The Wheel. This will take the Big Show up to its 10th series, which is an amazing achievement for everyone involved." The comedian went on to say: "The Wheel was a show we made in lockdown while we couldn't film the Big Show, but it's become equally beloved." He also shared a humorous anecdote: "Someone came up to me recently while I was walking the dog and said they "loved The Big Wheel", I have no idea whether they meant The Big Show, The Wheel or both shows, they may have just come from The London Eye".

Michael McIntyre pictured with rarely seen wife as he leads stars at Wimbledon
Comedian Michael McIntyre beamed alongside his wife Kitty as they joined fellow celebrities at Wimbledon Michael McIntyre was all smiles as he cosied up to his glamorous wife Kitty during a rare date at Wimbledon on Monday. The comedian, 49, was spotted looking dapper at the All England Lawn Tennis Club for day eight of the tournament, joining fellow famous faces Gabby and Kenny Logan, as well as Lenny Henry and his partner Lisa Makin. The second week of the iconic event got underway with No1 seed Jannik Sinner back on Centre Court to face 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov, as the Men's Singles fourth round continued under sunny skies following a damp start to the day. Michael kept things classic in a sharp navy suit layered over a crisp white shirt and dark tie, while Kitty turned heads in a pink floral mini dress. The aromatherapist, who shares sons Lucas, 20, and Oscar, 17, with the comic, finished her summery look with pastel heels and a matching bag as the couple posed before taking their seats. Also soaking up the action was TV presenter Gabby Logan, 52, who nailed courtside chic in a navy polka dot co-ord teamed with a cream blazer draped over her shoulders. She was joined by husband Kenny, 53, who looked equally smart as they enjoyed the day without their 19-year-old twins Reuben and Lois. Meanwhile, Lenny Henry, 65, and partner Lisa Makin kept cool in matching summer suits and shades as they enjoyed the sunshine. Lisa, a casting director and theatre producer, has been with the comic for over a decade after they first started dating in 2012. Lenny shares daughter Billie, 34, with ex-wife Dawn French. Despite their long-standing relationship, Lenny and Lisa have largely kept things low-key and out of the spotlight. Michael, meanwhile, has shared how his own romance with Kitty began when he was 'pretending to be a really cool writer' while trying to break into film. He previously said he hired her to work on his movie, admitting: 'I wasn't very good with girls' at the time. The star sweetly compared his love life to a rom-com, recalling on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2022: 'A long time ago. We met through a friend. She didn't like me for a while. I wanted to get into comedy in some way so I started writing a film - a romantic comedy. I finally got the girl.'

Comedians Sir Lenny and Mr McIntyre were also seen on day eight of the championships. Broadcaster Gabby Logan was another famous face spotted at the grounds of the tournament on Monday. Last week, a number of celebrities were spotted at SW19 including Sir David Beckham, Sir Gareth Southgate and Gary Lineker – who were all seen in the Royal Box. US music stars Olivia Rodrigo and Dave Grohl were also among the top celebrity names spotted at Wimbledon, along with adventurer Bear Grylls and actor Rory Kinnear. Paralympic champions packed the Royal Box on day seven of the championships on Sunday. Wheelchair tennis duo Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid occupied prime front-row positions. Wheelchair racers Hannah Cockroft and Sammi Kinghorn, canoeists Emma Wiggs and Charlotte Henshaw, archer Jodie Grinham and fencer Dimitri Coutya were among the other star names. Cricket great Brian Lara, triple Olympic swimming champion Tom Dean and former footballer and presenter Chris Kamara were also in the premium seats. British singles hopes at Wimbledon rest on Cameron Norrie after his gruelling five-set win followed Sonay Kartal's defeat on Sunday. He next faces defending champion Carlos Alcaraz on Tuesday. Norrie, a semi-finalist in 2022, is only the third British man to reach the last eight more than once in the last 50 years, after Tim Henman and Sir Andy Murray.
