Fans of The Prodigy have criticised The Chase after an ill-timed question about the band popped up just hours after it was announced frontman Keith Flint had died.
The pre-recorded episode asked the contestant - and Chaser Anne Hegerty - the question:
Which chart act has the fewest members
The multiple choice options were:
A) The Proclaimers
B) The Pretenders
C) The Prodigy
Viewers slammed the station for not assessing the episode in advance and in light of the news, replace it with a different one.
Tributes are continuing to pour in for the musician, who was found dead at his home in Essex over the weekend.
