Mark Labbett hits back at The Chase complaints
On Twitter, Mark, 56, reached out to his 147k followers over the complaints.
He said yesterday (August 31): “Would people who have complaints about #TheChase please direct them to @itvchase.
“Otherwise you are wasting your time.”
You are wasting your time
The post didn’t go unnoticed by Anne, who was quick to respond to her fellow Chaser.
The 63-year-old quizzer replied: “Well, if Twitter is anything like Facebook, I’m guessing people are saying it can’t be ‘new’ if it was filmed last year.
“Because apparently everything they ever buy was made in the last week.”

Speaking to The Mirror, Darragh said: “I’ve had some really horrific people being extremely nasty to me.
“I had some people accusing me of crimes, I had people being really disgusting.
“I genuinely don’t care what people think of me so if people are mad at me then that is their own business. So I kind of feel sorry for them. I don’t get mad at them, they are very sad people.”
