ITV quiz show finally returns with new episodes – after viewers slammed back to back repeats
A BELOVED ITV quiz show is finally returning with new episodes after fans hit out over repeats.
Bosses at the broadcaster have revealed brand new episodes of Tipping Point: Lucky Stars are on the way.
The hit show, which is presented by Ben Shephard, is the celebrity spin-off to the main series.
Unlike the regular version, Lucky Stars airs in a primetime slot on ITV1.
A brand new series kicks off on Sunday, September 8th at 7pm.
The news comes after fans blasted ITV for airing back-to-back repeats of the series.
more on tipping point
Despite Tipping Point having racked up over 1,700 episodes in total, ITV appear to have been opting to re-broadcast the same 20 episodes from series 13 in an odd move.
Just last week fans were left tuning in to episode 72 of the thirteenth series starring Norm, Maria and Ash as they battled to earn the jackpot on the Ben Shephard show.
What is often a high-stakes game and enticing for those watching along at home fell rather flat when fans quickly realised the episode had only been aired two weeks prior on the 6th August.
In another bizarre move, currently only 19 episodes from series 13, those currently being aired on a regular re-run, as well as one episode from series 14 are available to stream on ITVX as opposed to the huge back catalogue of those at ITV's disposal.
The channel has offered no explanation as to why the same episodes are being repeated within weeks of each other as well as to the limited selection being offered up on their streaming service.
