The singer was heartbroken after she was told she wasn't allowed to appear on beloved BBC quiz show Pointless, despite being a huge fan of the programme.09:49, 28 May 2026One British pop star was left devastated when she was informed she wasn't permitted to feature on the much-loved BBC quiz show, Pointless.‌Singer PinkPantheress, whose real name is Victoria Walker, launched her career five years ago and is best known for her tracks Boy's a Liar and Just for Me.‌Yet despite rocketing to stardom, she's been barred from appearing on the long-running programme, something she recently revealed to her fans during a gig in Manchester.‌The 25-year-old explained: "[Pointless] is my favourite trivia show, and I wanted to be on the show, and I made it to before they put you on TV at the last stage."I was in Manchester, I was ready to go on TV to play Pointless. Then someone comes in, and he goes, wait, hold on - we know who you are... it was a "regular Pointless", it wasn't the celebrity version."‌She continued: "He goes, 'You're too famous to be on Pointless.' I said, babes, let me be on this TV show now. And I never ended up on Pointless because I'm too 'famous'."The singer received an enormous outpouring of support following her revelation, with the crowd cheering her on enthusiastically. During her candid chat, Victoria also mentioned she'd happily donate any prize money she won to charity.‌She further revealed her burning desire to meet host Alex Armstrong, who has fronted the quiz programme for nearly 20 years, reports the Express.According to Metro, she added: "I'm going to go to the BBC and go, 'Let me on that TV now. You have to make things correct.'"It didn't take long before her followers flocked to social media to voice their backing for the star to feature on the quiz programme. One user on X declared that PinkPantheress should be "allowed on every British game/quiz show, no matter how famous she gets."‌Another chimed in: "We need to get her on The Wheel, The Chase... Taskmaster, The Traitors... and especially Pointless."A third enthusiast shared: "She should go on the next series of Celebrity Traitors! Follow in Cat Burns and Leigh-Anne's footsteps." One devoted fan urged: "@BBC you're missing out, get her on Pointless PRONTO."‌While another commented: "Let pinkpantheress on pointless!!!" As one supporter added: "Let her do pointless, and I'll actually tune in. I hardly watch that show."Despite reportedly being 'banned' from Pointless, the singer has previously featured on another much-loved quiz programme — the celebrity edition of The Weakest Link.Just days after attending the Grammys earlier this year, the 25-year-old appeared on the programme alongside the likes of Alex Brooker, Anna Haugh, Harriet Kemsley, Hilary Whitehall, Luca Bish, John Hartson and Gareth Malone.Article continues belowThe artist progressed to the sixth round of the programme before being eliminated, with Gareth Malone ultimately triumphing over his fellow celebrity competitors.Pointless airs on BBC One at 5:15 PM every weekday.
