BBC viewers left moaning just minutes into Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel airing
Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel viewers were not too impressed with the latest instalment of the BBC gameshow.
The programme returned to screens on Saturday night (July 19) with comedian Michael back at the helm. Joining Michael was a fresh batch of celebrity experts tasked with helping contestants win a whopping cash prize.
The famous faces included the likes of Harry Redknapp, Carol Vorderman, Nick Grimshaw, Andi Oliver, Tom Read Wilson, Angela Scanlon and Chunkz. However, it didn’t take disgruntled viewers long to share their complaints that it was a repeat episode.

One person fumed on X: “@BBCOne really going for it this Saturday night with 5 (FIVE) game shows back to back.”
Fans were not impressed
Someone else added: “Don’t understand why they repeat quiz shows.” A third chimed in: “As soon as we saw Angela’s topic we knew it was a repeat,” referring to Angela’s topic of ‘redheads’. A fourth also penned: “Love the show even if it is a repeat.”
Meanwhile other fans complained about feeling “dizzy and sick” while watching the show. One person penned: “Has anyone every got motion sickness on The Wheel whilst it’s spinning?” Another also wrote: “Can’t watch The Wheel on the BBC. It makes me feel dizzy and sick.”
Carol was one of the celebs on the show
It’s not all bad news though as fans of Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel can expect a brand new sixth series later this year.
It was announced in April that BBC commissioned a further two series of both Michael McIntyre’s Big Show and Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel.
Michael McIntyre says: “I’m so proud of the success of both The Big Show and The Wheel. This will take the Big Show up to its 10th series, which is an amazing achievement for everyone involved.”

The funnyman continued: “The Wheel was a show we made in lockdown while we couldn’t film the Big Show, but it’s become equally beloved.”
He added: “Someone came up to me recently while I was walking the dog and said they “loved The Big Wheel”, I have no idea whether they meant The Big Show, The Wheel or both shows, they may have just come from The London Eye”.
