The Chase’s Mark Labbett swiped at ITV for ‘ruining’ a rival game show with a major problem and some fans ‘totally agree’ with him.

Mark is a long-standing Chaser and is known as The Beast on the Bradley Walsh fronted programme. 

He often impresses with his tremendous general knowledge and quick thinking. 

However, when not taking on hopeful contestants on The Chase, it seems Mark has been watching another game show – Genius Game. 

Hosted by Dr Who star David Tennant, 54, who takes on the role of The Creator, the eight-part reality game series takes inspiration from a South Korean show.

Genius Game sees players test their intellectual acumen and attempt to win a cash prize. 

However, Mark pointed out a ‘problem’ he thinks he has spotted on the show and took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his thoughts.

Mark posted: ‘Editing is ruining the play-along factor 🙁 #geniusgame.’

An account that seems to belong to Rebecca, who featured on the show, responded to Mark and said: ‘Totally agree.’ 

Another viewer posted about the same problem and penned: ‘The editing of this show is awful. We know the red team has won now. There’s no jeopardy #GeniusGame.’

It comes after many viewers during the first episode took issue with the new programme and commented on how ‘complicated’ it seemed, with many not understanding the premise.

Some took to social media to share their concerns and posted on X: ‘Just starting this. Seems very complicated. I’ll watch it out but not looking good tbh #GeniusGame.’

‘Still have no idea how this works #GeniusGame.’

According to The Sun, one watcher turned off the show in just ten minutes and penned: ‘Bye bye.’ 

Others said: ‘Sorry #GeniusGame it’s a no from me, way too complicated for that time of night, I need mindless entertainment after a busy day, ITV should’ve just extended #CBBUK instead.’

‘I didn’t understand the rules fully’ – Most relatable contestant ever.’ 

‘I’m struggling to understand. I’m clearly no genius, the rules on rules on rules are something else #GeniusGame.’

The Chase airs weekdays on ITV1 from 5pm and is available to stream on ITVX.
