Richard Osman slammed for ‘conspiring against’ leading House of Games contestant with ‘unfair’ tactic

HOUSE of Games viewers have slammed Richard Osman and accused him of trying to sabotage a contestant.

The 51-year-old quiz show host was presenting his show on BBC Two last night.

It sees four famous faces take on a series of general knowledge quiz rounds – all of which are picked by Osman.

On the show this week competing is BBC Breakfast‘s Charlie Stayt, comedian Eddie Kadi, presenter Natasha Raskin Sharp and Steps’ Faye Tozer.

However, while Natasha was top of the leader board fans accused Richard of conspiring against her.

They claimed he was ‘ganging up’ on the Scottish antiques expert.

“I’m not sure I like the way Richard gangs up on the person who is in the lead. He does it constantly. Then the other contestants join in. Natasha held back this evening when she should have quite rightly won. #BeKind,” said one viewer.

Another said: “Richard conspiring to make sure Natasha loses – wasting time in answer smash so there weren’t many questions and letting people take ages to give their answers #houseofgames.”

“@richardosman trying his very best to stop @NatashaRaskin from winning #houseofgames again today,” said a third.

Speaking to Natasha at the end of the episode, Richard said: The way to play the game is to win, win, win and then lose, unfortunately you know and lose gallantly which is exactly what you did.”

“Such manners,” he concluded.

Despite the setback, Natasha remains in the lead and during Friday’s episode the winner will be revealed.

House of Games airs weekday evenings at 6pm on BBC Two.
