Fans of Tipping Point took to Twitter to voice their outrage that the programme was cancelled.
Instead of the hit quiz show, fronted by Ben Shepherd, an hour-long news special was aired as the nation welcomed a new prime minister.
Liz Truss officially became the UK’s leader today after sensationally beating former chancellor Rishi Sunak to the post.

But despite such big news, Tipping Points fiends were not impressed.
One irate watcher simply said: “Where the f*** is Tipping Point” while another added: “What a waste of time could have had #tippingpoint on!”
Another called the news special “drivel” and said they were “devastated” at the rescheduling.
A third admitted that even though they were not a Tipping Point fan, they would prefer to watch than “hearing the words of Liz Truss for the millionth time”.
Yet another lamented how “domestic programming” such as Tipping Point had “fallen foul” of the news.
Happily, the show returns at the normal time of 4pm on ITV1 tomorrow.
In other Tipping Point news, fans were also rather upset at a recent formatting change.
One of the major disparities with the new series is that there are now only three contestants playing instead of four and no elimination after the first round.
The quick-fire question round has also been tweaked with contestants given 45 seconds to answer their questions instead of the usual 30 seconds.
“Oh man, new series and it’s shi**y 3 player start, I don’t like it #tippingpoint.” Blasted one viewer.
One annoyed spectator said: “Had enough of the constant changes. Bye tippers.”
A third said: “Hate the new format!! 3 contestants at the start then ALL go through to the next round, just c**p! Way too much talking between contestants!! That’s us done!! Will have to find something else to watch, should be easy though!!”
