ITV viewers left fuming as broadcaster drops ‘stupid spoilers’ for Deal or No Deal BEFORE the episode airs
ITV VIEWERS have been left fuming as the broadcaster continues to ‘spoil’ Deal or No Deal before the episode airs.
The hit game show was rebooted by channel bosses last year after seven years off air.
Stephen Mulhern took over hosting duties from Noel Edmonds after receiving the veteran host’s blessing.
But after fans accused ITV of ‘killing’ the show by reducing the risk and prize money up for grabs, they’ve called out another issue.
They’ve been left furious as the continuity announcers who introduce the programme have been ‘spoiling’ the episode.
Just before Deal or No Deal kicks off, the voiceover artist has been revealing who is playing on that day’s show, ruining the surprise.
The contestant picked to face off against the mystery banker is picked at random each day in a surprise to viewers.
Posting on social media, one fan said: “Stop telling us who’s playing!! #DealOrNoDeal.”
A second wrote: “#DealOrNoDeal The tv announcer guy just told us whose turn it is today!!!! Before the show even started – it’s meant to be a surprise even though we know they know!!”
“Thanks to the @itv announcer for the spoiler before #DealOrNoDeal telling us who is playing today before the programme started #spoileralert,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “Oh god no silly narrator telling us who’s playing #dealornodeal.”
The Sun previously revealed how Deal or No Deal had teamed up with I’m A Celebrity for a special spin-off.
It means a string of Ant and Dec’s favourite contestants from I’m A Celeb will take on Stephen’s famous red boxes and try to win money for charity.
