BBC Michael McIntyre's The Wheel sparks complaints as fans 'can't watch' anymore
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".

EastEnders fans left in tears as Linda Carter says goodbye in 'end of an era'
EastEnders fans were left feeling tearful watching last night's episode, as Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) left the Queen Vic pub. Linda chose to put the boozer up for auction as she became ready to start a new chapter in her life. The Carter family has lived in the pub since 2013 and have faced a multitude of dramatic ordeals since then. In recent years, Linda has dealt with Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) getting lost at sea, murdering Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), covering up his death with The Six and earlier this year, the pub exploded as a result of Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) crashing his car into the side of the building. And that's not even the half of it! It's no surprise that Linda wants to start again. In the instalment that aired last night, she handed the keys over to Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), who became the new owner as a result of Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) gaining access to Martin Fowler's (James Bye) life insurance. To get her head around the change, Linda decided to temporarily leave Walford. Having been handed tickets for a cruise from mum Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe), she packed her belongings and waved goodbye to Albert Square. The scenes marked a massive end of an era, and fans of the BBC One soap were incredibly moved watching Linda depart. Taking to social media platform X, this fan said: 'Truly the end of an era, just glad that this time it's a decision that's been made on her terms and she's been allowed to say a proper goodbye to the old place and that next chapter of linda carter is going to be sublime, i can feel it #eastenders.' This audience member reflected on the 12 years Linda lived in the pub and wrote: 'Twelve PHENOMENAL years of having Linda Carter as landlady has come to an end. Kellie has been a powerhouse since joining the show and embodied the landlady role to perfection. 'Going to miss Linda front and centre in the Vic but excited to see what she moves onto next.' Another wrote: 'Still blows my mind that Linda first took over the pub nearly 12 (!!!) years ago, where has the time gone #EastEnders.'
