Why isn't The Chase on TV today? Absence explained and when it next airs
The Chase is missing from today's TV schedules – but why? Here's everything you need to know.
Weekday nights usually go a bit like this on ITV - Tipping Point, followed by The Chase with Bradley Walsh, and an evening of soaps, but fans might have noticed that two of those shows have been been pulled from the schedules this week!
The Chase, which has been a weekday staple since 2009, usually airs from 5pm. However, the hugely popular show has been removed from programming to make way for coverage of The Royal Ascot Festival.
As a result, you can expect not to see Walsh and the Chasers on the small screen for a little while.
The last time the show was cancelled was due to the World Cup fixtures, which aired on both ITV and BBC.
Luckily, fans won't have to wait too long for its return!
