Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway aired its final ever episode last week too as the Geordie duo rested the beloved format.
And now viewers have pointed out how they've spotted a sign ITV bosses are 'struggling' to fill the TV guide.
TVZone tweeted how the broadcaster has been airing a number of repeats in their primetime slots.
They said: "If you wanted sign that ITV are now starting to struggle to fill the schedule, Sunday 28th April is a repeat of #TheChase Celebrity Special, followed by a repeat of #DealOrNoDeal (one of the daytime episodes, not a celebrity special), followed by a repeat of #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire."

One said: "And they showed series 1, episode 1 of Celebrity Catchphrase the other night. From 2013!"
A second wrote: "They have also a load of Midsomer Murders epsidoe that are new that they haven't shown yet. Why are they struggling?"
"Saturday night TV used to be so good—from morning to midnight. Now, there’s nothing on but repeats," added a third.
