THE Chase fans have been left in shock after a solo contestant made a record-breaking win - after his teammates failed to make it.

On Thursday night, four hopefuls headed to face The Chaser with the hopes of taking home a mega cash prize.

Bradley Walsh welcomed the four quizzers to the show, Gemma, Elizabeth, Sydney and Eden, to work together to win some money in the repeat episode first aired in 2021.

However, things didn't look promising after the first rounds, three of the contestants were caught by Chaser Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis.

Eden, 20, was the only contestant who remained going into the dreaded Final Chase, leaving Bradley, 62, concerned.

However, the young TV star left the presenter and fans at home in shock as he stormed through the round, after going for the highest option as a cash builder.

The young brainbox opted for the £75,000 offered by Darragh, 43, as he approached the table to face the Chaser.

And after bringing home the highest possible amount of cash, Eden went on to face the Final Chase alone without any teammates.

Leaving Bradley open-mouthed, the contestant managed 18 correct answers, which proved too much for Darragh to keep up with.

The show's host was seen shouting out and jumping for joy as Eden was awarded the record-breaking cash sum.

"That is the highest ever single win in TV quiz show history - and you're only 20!" Bradley explained of the win.

"Congratulations, you have outrun the Chaser," he continued. "75 grand! 20 years of age! What a show."

And fans at home were left equally stunned - taking to Twitter to celebrate the historic win on the programme.

"What a legend! What a bloody legend! Yes, Eden!" one wrote, as another chimed in: "He was bloody good for a young lad."

"Well done Eden, you thoroughly deserved your £75000 I hope you enjoy watching it in your bank account!" a third said.

While a fourth chimed in: "That was the best episode of The Chase I've ever seen."
