TENABLE fans rejoiced today as Warwick Davis returned to the show - but they weren't happy for long.

The 51-year-old actor has hosted the ITV quiz show since it began in 2016, but last month revealed actress Sally Lindsay would be standing in for him for a number of episodes.

However, all was not as it seemed, as eagle-eyed viewers quickly realised today's episode was a repeat from an earlier series, meaning it would be a while before Warwick would be back with any new puns.

Sharing their disappointment, one viewer tweeted: "Oh yea ffs why???? I thought he be coming back with new? Dont get it #tenable."

Another wrote: "#tenable So we are back with #Warwick and Repeats of his old shows. @ITV getting Desperate for Material."

A third added: "Boooooooo #tenable repeat!!!"

Warwick previously told fans on Twitter: "Sally is stepping into my hosting shoes for a run of shows while I’m in pre-production for another project.

"With this change, You can be assured of 2 things - the jokes won’t be as bad and the show will have a touch more glamour! Thanks for your continued support. Cheers!Break a leg Sally! x"

Tenable's new presenter Sally said: “I’m a huge fan of Tenable and am delighted I’m able to share the presenting responsibilities with Warwick.”

Tenable airs weekdays at 3pm on ITV.
