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".
