The Chase’s Mark Labbett hits out at cruel Twitter trolls who ‘give contestants grief’ for taking low offers

THE Chase's Mark Labbett hit out at cruel Twitter trolls who 'give contestants grief' for taking low offers on Monday's instalment.

The quiz head, who goes by The Beast, addressed the negative commentary players receive online when they take the lower offer and insisted it's sometimes the wisest way to play the game.

Earlier this week, viewers saw Mark offer contestant Ieuan £4,000, or a low offer of £-2,000, and a higher offer of £46,000.

Looking to his fellow players for advice, team mate Pauline advised him: "We've got two back already, taking the middle offer seems to be working, take the £4,000.

Fellow contestant Catherine agreed with Pauline and shared: "I think you're plenty smart enough for the £4,000, take the four grand."

"I think both of us have said we should've gone for the top offer, four grand, okay," Geoff, his other team mate, added.

After taking their advise, Ieuan was caught by the Chaser on his final question, which was: "In Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, the Pharaoh is usually portrayed in the style of which singer?"

The answer options were, Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, or Sid Vicious.

Looking unsure, Ieuan guessed B, Freddie Mercury, which proved to be incorrect while Mark had correctly guessed Elvis.

The Beast joyfully shared: "No, I didn't know it, but Elvis is the King baby, who else could it be!?"

Discussing 'negative offers', Mark insisted that people at home shouldn't turn their noses up at them, alluding to the "low offer klaxon" viewers have created on Twitter when a player takes the infamous offer.

He added: "There are people at home who give people a ton of grief for taking negative offers, but if Ieuan had taken the negative offer he'd be home now and you'd be looking at a full house."

Vile Twitter trolls have blasted previous contestants who have taken the offers and filled the platform with expletive-filled tweets about the player's decision.
