Q: So Why Are There No Women Hosts On ITV's Game Shows?

Channel slated for lack of female TV presenters

ITV has come under fire for having no female hosts fronting any of its game shows.

The channel will air 20 game shows or quizzes between now and next Friday – all of which are presented by men.

These include The Chase’s Bradley Walsh, Tipping Point’s Ben Shephard, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host Jeremy Clarkson and Lingo’s Adil Ray.

Paul Sinha’s TV Showdown and Stephen Mulhern’s Catchphrase also feature in the listings.

Michael Kelpie, managing director of Potato – which makes The Chase – was quizzed about the lack of women hosting game shows in a BAFTA talk this week.

Presenter Charlene White asked him: “Women do like game shows too and there’s not many women.”
