In a tweet, the official Bargain Hunt account announced the disappointing news to its followers.
“#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,” they wrote.
It’s safe to say not everyone was too happy to hear the news.
How did viewers react?
Plenty of viewers were furious to hear the news of the show’s temporary cancellation due to the Winter Olympics.
“I’m cross about this! BBC4 sits idle all day while BBC1 & BBC2 is totally disrupted – makes no sense to me!” one viewer ranted.
“@BBCBargainHunt and @BBCiPlayer This is typical BBC and why it gets so much bad press,” another grumbled.
“Who the [bleep] cancelled bargain hunt, I will have their head,” a third fan of the show said.
“Bargain Hunt is the best show on telly – why cancel it for the Winter Olympics?” another tweeted.
Bargain Hunt takes the fall
This isn’t the first time Bargain Hunt has been sacrificed in favour of the Winter Olympics.
Last week the long-running BBC show was cancelled too, and viewers weren’t happy then either.
“Yes, yes, the Winter Olympics is all good fun but the real sport is chasing Bargain Hunt around the schedules as a result…” one viewer said upon hearing the news last week.

“Why swamp BBC 1 & 2 with Winter Olympic coverage when BBC3 & 4 aren’t showing anything during the day?” another asked.
“So the Winter Olympics has booted out @BBCBargainHunt from our screens. Can’t stand the Winter Olympics…Prefer Bargain Hunt any day…!” a third said.
Have no fear, Bargain Hunt fans! The Winter Olympics is set to end on Sunday, February 20, so it looks like next week’s scheduling will be back to normal!
Bargain Hunt is available to watch on BBC iPlayer now.
