Emmerdale actors and actresses appeared on The Chase today to take on the Chaser and be in with a chance of winning a huge cash prize for their chosen charities – but fans at home were fuming because the show happened to be a re-run.
The panel was made up of Amy Walsh who plays Tracy Metcalfe, Matthew Wolfenden who plays David Metcalfe, Charley Webb who played Debbie Dingle and Mark Charnock who plays Marlon Dingle.
Hopeful to take home some cash for their charities, they took on The Sinnerman, Paul Sinha.
Fans at home though couldn’t concentrate on the gameshow, because many moaned that the episode aired on Sunday night (March 13) had already been aired – multiple times in fact.
One person fumed: “I’ve lost count the amount of times they’ve repeated this episode #TheChase.”
While another said: “@ITV have repeated this episode of #TheChase more times than they’ve repeated the bloody Harry Potter films.”
And a third added: “Repeat Repeat Repeat!!! Round and round this episode goes!! How long are ITV going to constantly fill our screens with repeats on Sundays?? Thank God for Netflix #ITV #TheChase.”
Someone else fumed over celebrity specials in general, writing: “I hate celebrity versions. 1. I don’t know who they are. 2. The laughter track is turned up to number 11. 3. Too much time is spent massaging the egos of ‘celebrities’ who I’ve never seen before and I’m not interested in.”
The final chase saw Amy, Matthew and Mark take on the chaser for a whopping £14,000 to split between their three chosen charities.
Earning 21 steps, The Sinnerman ended up beating the players with one second to spare – something that left the Emmerdale hopefuls completely gutted.
The episode was originally aired in 2018, and has been re-run multiple times since, much to the fury of viewers watching at home.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm, while on Sundays it airs at 5:30pm – each time on ITV and ITVHub.
