BUTT OF THE JOKES

The Chase contestant causes uproar over her name which viewers reckon sounds like a cheeky body part

Brainy Annis, a management trainee from Cardiff, stole the show on last night's episode for more than just her performance

A CONTESTANT on The Chase was the butt of viewers' jokes last night - due to her "childishly rude-sounding" name.

Annis, a 23-year-old management trainee from Cardiff, turned out to be a very competent player, securing £5,000 in her cash builder round and beating The Dark Destroyer.

But viewers were distracted by the fact her name sounded vaguely similar to a cheeky part of the human body.

One tweeted: "Am I the only person that did not notice that Annis on #TheChase has a slightly childishly rude sounding name?"

Another wrote: "Annis looks like pure filth. Must be the name. #thechase".

Last night's team performed well, with all contestants making it through to the final chase, where they competed for £21,000.

But sadly, Chaser Shaun Wallace caught them up, meaning they went home with nothing.

Earlier this week we told how The Governess Anne Hegarty raised a few eyebrows when she shamelessly flirted with a 19-year-old student.

Meanwhile another contestant, Georgia, was revealed to have a saucy sideline career as a topless model.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
