Four celebs took to the panel to face Chaser Anne Hegarty in the hopes of taking home some cash for their chosen charities.

While viewers had hoped to see some new faces, they were greeted by four celebrities who they had already seen compete on the show.

Among them were EastEnders actor Perry Fenwick, comedian Jenny Eclair, TV presenter Ore Oduba and Good Morning Britain’s Richard, 65.

“Not this repeat again,” one fan angrily tweeted within minutes of seeing the line-up, as a second chimed in: “We’re watching the 80th repeat.”

“You could watch a celebrity edition of The Chase in a few mins (a repeat where they don’t win anything),” a third scathed.

Richard has been regularly missing from his role on Good Morning Britain in the past two weeks – with stand-in’s drafted in to cover for him.

Despite the presenter normally having Thursdays off, the 65-year-old only worked two days last week as he was replaced by Martin Lewis.

After noticing he was “missing” from the breakfast show again today, fans asked where he was – and even threatened not to watch in protest.

But of course it was Ben Shephard’s turn to take the reins alongside Susanna Reid on Thursday.

One said: “Time to switch off. Miss goody two shoes is fun to watch when hosting with a Piers Morgan or a Richard Madeley serious journalist but no fun whatsoever with another male goody goody.”

“Where is Richard Madeley?” another asked.

Someone else wondered: “Why is Richard Madeley not on Good Morning Britain?”

But yesterday viewers were grateful to see guest host Martin return for a money-saving special.

Richard ended his working week early to make room for Martin, who impressed viewers with his passionate and helpful advice.

One person wrote: “How refreshing to see Martin instead of the tripe that’s Richard #GMB.”

Another added: “Quite liked having Susanna Reid flying solo without Richard Madeley talking about himself for the first hour.”

While someone else remarked: “What no Richard Madeley? Thank God for that!! I’ll watch today. I love the programme but don’t watch when he’s on it.”
