Bargain Hunt fans livid as show pulled from air AGAIN in BBC schedule shake-up
BARGAIN Hunt fans are livid after the show was pulled off air in ANOTHER BBC schedule shake-up this week.
The BBC show, which has had 60 successful series since it premiered in 2000, usually graces screens Monday to Friday from 12.15pm.
However, the TV schedule has been thrown into chaos because of the Winter Olympics for a second week.
The show's official Twitter account tweeted: "#BBCBargainHunt'ers! Announcement! Due to the winter Olympics, new episodes will not air on @BBCOne this week but rest assured we will have repeats on @BBCTwo & you can always catch up and have your fix @BBCiPlayer."
Viewers took to social media to question why the sporting event was given priority over the popular antiques show.
One wrote: "I'm cross about this! BBC4 sits idle all day while BBC1 & BBC2 is totally disrupted - makes no sense to me!"
Another posted: "Bargain Hunt is the best show on telly - why cancel it for the Winter Olympics?"
A third said: "@BBCBargainHunt and @BBCiPlayer This is typical BBC and why it gets so much bad press."

"Who the f*** cancelled bargain hunt, I will have their head," another fumed.
The Winter Olympic Games, which are currently being held in Beijing, started on Friday 4 February, and will end on February 20.
The antiques show has been a popular afternoon choice with viewers over the past two decades.
Bargain Hunt viewers were stunned when the most valuable item EVER was revealed as a tiny teapot.
Expert Charles Hanson secured a whopping £390,000 fee for the 18th Century find, originating from China, in what he described as "the most important item I've ever sold".
