From intense Who Wants To Be A Millionaire moments to cringeworthy Oscars coverage, ITV is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Dive into the chaos with us!

ITV has been a whirlwind of excitement and chaos recently, with Who Wants To Be a Millionaire contestant Gerard Crowley turning heads. Fans were so impressed by his performance that some even suggested he could become a 'new Chaser' on rival ITV quiz show, The Chase. However, not all Millionaire viewers were pleased, as some fumed over a £250k winner being given 'easy' questions. Moving from quiz shows to awards ceremonies, ITV's Oscars coverage faced criticism when fans encountered technical difficulties, leading to a message from ITV to address the issue. With Sky losing the rights to air the awards, Jonathan Ross took the stage on ITV for the Oscars, but his performance left viewers divided with some branding it 'painful' and 'embarrassing'. Turning to film critiques, Ross's comments on Oppenheimer and the 'major problem' he identified in the Oscar-nominated World War II drama added more fuel to the chaos.
