ITV schedule shake-up confirmed as Tipping Point cancelled this week

An ITV schedule shake-up will impact the broadcast of Tipping Point.

The popular game show usually airs each weekday at 4pm and sees Ben Shephard welcome four contestants to test their general knowledge skills in the hope to win big money from the arcade style machine. The Good Morning Britain anchor will host a regular edition of the programme today, but the show will be replaced for the rest of the week by ITV Racing Live.

Ed Chamberlain and Francesca Cumani will present coverage from 12.50pm as the Cheltenham Festival gets underway tomorrow. The prestigious racing event continues until Friday and airs until 4.30pm.

The broadcast will hit Tipping Point which will be replaced by a 30 minute compilation edition. The show will take a look back at the greatest ever finals when the contestant is competing for the £10,000 jackpot.

Tipping Point is not the only show to be impacted by the horse racing as Loose Women will be cancelled for the rest of the week. Anchor Ruth Langsford confirmed the panelists will be temporarily off the air at the end of Monday's episode.

She said: "We are off for the rest of this week because the racing is on ITV. So we will you again next Monday."

It is a week of sports on ITV as Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and Starstruck will be replaced by coverage of a Six Nations double-header. The channel will broadcast Ireland vs Scotland before England take on France in the rugby union competition on March 19.

Tipping Point: Best Ever Finals airs tomorrow at 4.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub
