Multiple tapings were scheduled for the morning and evening on Tuesday however, The U.S. Sun can confirm that both episodes were canceled at the last minute.
“Both October 9th tapings of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune have been abruptly cancelled the day of the show.
“They are being very quiet about what is going on but they wouldn’t cancel like this if it was something with the guests.
“It most likely has something to do with Vanna or Ryan. It’s extremely rare they have canceled tapings like this,” a source claimed.
The insider added: “The celebrity contestants were notified as they were already making their way to the studio.
“The next taping is scheduled for October 22 and is expected to resume as normal.”
Members of the studio audience, who come from all over the world to attend a taping, were also notified the day of that the show had been cancelled.

Season 6 of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune kicked off on September 26th and celebrated fellow ABC show, Dancing With the Stars.
