Fans of The Chase have raged online after a ‘correct’ answer given by a contestant was rejected by host Bradley Walsh for a pedantic reason.

The ITV quiz show, which started in 2009, sees four players aiming to land a huge prize jackpot by answering more questions than the show’s experts, aka Chasers.

It’s meant to be a tough quiz to crack, with hundreds of contestants not having the requisite knowledge to take home the big prize.

But one viewer was denied a point by Bradley, 64, during Wednesday’s episode, despite giving a ‘correct’ answer during the tense final round, which sees contestants answering quick-fire questions to stay ahead of the chaser.

Facing off against chaser Darragh Ennis, aka The Menace, teammates Gary, Sarah, Ailsa, and George took a fair chunk of money into the final round.

Their total was £48,000, and that was after George took the minus £9,000 offer, knocking his team’s potential takings down from a whopping £14,250 each.
