The Chase fans rage 'enough is enough' as they blast 'incredibly annoying' problem with show that has their 'fingers twitching to change the channel'
Fans of The Chase raged 'enough is enough' and blasted an 'incredibly annoying' problem with the show this week. Tuesday's instalment of the ITV quiz programme, hosted by Bradley Walsh, saw four players, Andy, Jan, Billy and Hannah take on Chaser Darragh Ennis, known as The Menace. In the end, the entire team made it to the final chase against Darragh with a prize pot of £8,000. They managed to beat the Chaser with just one point remaining between them. But viewers were left frustrated with something completely unrelated to the game play. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Gala Bingo adverts played in the intervals due to the company sponsoring The Chase. Some fans expressed on X, formerly Twitter, how they were 'sick' of seeing the ad and posted: 'Absolutely sick to death of those #Galabingo ads before, after and during #thechase. Enough is enough please.' Another added: 'Who else is fed up with the Gala Bingo ads during the chase? Been going on for too long now fed up with repeats of The Chase too.' It isn't the first time watchers have picked fault with the adverts either, others previously penned: 'It's getting to the point where the repetitive Gala Bingo ads are more entertaining.' 'Does anyone else agree with me that the woman on the Gala Bingo sponsor between the ads of The Chase is cringefully unfunny?' someone else chimed in. Fans took issue with another episode earlier this month when Toby, Becca, Sophia and Neil attempted to take on on Chaser Jenny Ryan, known as the Vixen. The team of four all made it to the very last round with a hefty £20,000 prize pot and scored 20 points together. Gala Bingo adverts played in the intervals due to the company sponsoring The Chase and some fans expressed on X, formerly Twitter, how they were 'sick' of seeing the ad Questions like ' Lashana Lynch plays an MI6 agent in what Bond film?' and 'Pat Rafter Arena is a Brisbane stadium court for what sport?' were asked of the players and tripped them up at times. While Jenny's questions included 'A clumsy person is said to be like a bull in a what?' and 'The term 'spousage' refers to the state of being what?'. Many viewers felt the team's questions were difficult and some suggested a few of Jenny's were 'easy'.
