Fans tuning into the Big Fat Quiz of The Year were unified in their critique following the appearance of a Strictly Come Dancing winner.

The popular yearly quiz show made a return this evening to cap off 2024, featuring pairings that included Richard Ayoade and Katherine Ryan, Chris McCausland with Maisie Adam, as well as Judi Love and Rob Beckett.

While Jimmy Carr took the reins as host for this particular quiz extravaganza, viewers were left scratching their heads over the show's setup. Strictly champion Chris McCausland's participation was baffling to many as they felt the show hadn't made changes, given the reliance on visual rounds; his teammate Maisie had to verbally relay the content of images to him.

One viewer remarked on social media: "#BigFatQuizOfTheYear the questions are tough for Chris, but basically this show isn't much about questions," while another pointed out: "Chris McCausland is hardly the best booking for the #bigfatquizoftheyear when almost every round involves something visual."

const loadOvpScript=()=>{let el=document.createElement('script');el.setAttribute('src','https://live.primis.tech/live/liveView.php?s=118222&playerApiId=v118222');document.getElementById('ovp-primis').appendChild(el)};window.top.addEventListener('primisPlayerInit',e=>{try{if(e.detail&&e.detail.playerApiId==="v118222"){if(window.document.getElementsByClassName('jwplayer')[0]){e.detail.float('disable')}}}catch(e){}});window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',()=>{setTimeout(()=>{if(typeof flagTcfLoaded!=='undefined'&&flagTcfLoaded===!0){loadOvpScript();ExpressApp.Log('[Load] OVP flagTcfLoaded',new Date())}else{document.addEventListener("tcfLoaded",()=>{loadOvpScript();ExpressApp.Log('[Load] OVP tcfLoaded',new Date())})}},1500)})

Adding to the conversation, another tweet read: "I'd say almost every round involving something visual is hardly the best format when one of the bookings is Chris McCausland."

Another shared: "I love #bigfatquizoftheyear but was thinking about how they would have adapted it to make sure Chris could be involved with the picture rounds etc... the answer seems to be not at all?!?!

"I'm not visually impaired so rly not an authority on this but... what is going on? " while another fan expressed their delight, saying, "Love seeing Chris on soo many shows atm #BigFatQuizOfTheYear."

Fresh off his Strictly Come Dancing triumph, Chris shared on Lorraine just how draining the experience had been. He described the aftermath of his victory: "It's been a really emotional Saturday night and I'm still kind of feeling worn down by it. Three and a half months rehearsing is relentless, it's consuming. Physically and mentally it takes its toll."

Earlier today, the comedian excitedly announced his appearance on the quiz show, posting on social media: "Tonight you can catch me on #BigFatQuizOfTheYear on @Channel4 - We filmed this during the semi-final week of Strictly so I had already done eight hours of dancing before I got to enjoy this sit down, so tune in to see me looking tired but grateful for the rest."
