As often happens when there are huge shifts in an established element of modern culture, people went a bit mad.

Reacting to Osman leaving the safe confines of his table and chair to stand up and banter with the contestants, while Armstrong took a seat, fans of the show were in despair:

Even Osman was a bit out of sorts, after revealing to Radio Times: "I was happy when I got back behind the desk."

This is even freaking me out #Pointless1000
