DEAL or No Deal viewers have attacked ITV for adding ‘too many’ ad breaks and show host Stephen Mulhern for constantly leaving them on a cliffhanger.
The 46 year old took the helm of the game show, which was rebooted on ITV in November, after being off air since 2016, when the show was fronted by Noel Edmonds.
During Tuesday’s instalment of the iconic show, fans took to X(Twitter) to complain about the various ad beaks.
Show viewers also ripped into Stephen for leaving them anticipating what could be in the box until after the break.
One user wrote: “2 breaks in 24 minutes. F*** OFF ITV!! #DealOrNoDeal.”
Another added: “After the break doesn’t surprise anyone anymore, Stephen. It’s the same everyday #DealOrNoDeal.”
A third quipped: “Even the other contestants are fed up of the ad breaks #dealornodeal.”
While a fourth typed: “Why is everyone surprised when it’s a commercial break? ffs it’s been 3 weeks, and they still can’t see it. I’m sat on my sofa and can see it every single time. #Dealornodeal.”
A fifth said: “After the break fourth time #DealOrNoDeal.”
However some Deal or No Deal fans were favourable about Stephen and shared more positive thoughts.
One penned: “Really warming to Stephen Mulhern on Deal Or No Deal #dealornodeal #stephenmulhern.”
A second shared: “As upset as I was about not having #TippingPoint, I’ve got to admit I have absolutely fell in love with #DealOrNoDeal. I love @StephenMulhern.
“I think he is the perfect presenter for this. Can’t believe tomorrow will be the last ‘live’ one I’ll see because of work. I’ve loved it.”
Last night’s episode saw the biggest win in the game so far after Rochelle walked away with an eye-watering £30,100 with three boxes left.
The ITV show recently sparked a ‘fix’ row after deaf contestant Jane W, who needed an interpreter, was chosen to play, and viewers wondered how she had managed to be picked already when she had only been on the show for a week.
Deal or No Deal is on at 4pm on weekdays on ITV and ITVX.
