The Chase makes history with highest money offer EVER to grace show – leaving player lost for words
THE Chase made history with its highest money offer ever to grace screens on the ITV show.
Presenter Bradley Walsh and contestants of the ITV hit game show were stunned by the eye-watering amount offered.
The Chase star Paul Sinha, dubbed The Sinnerman, made the most significant money offer in daytime history after offering a player a whopping £109,000 on the latest episode.
Four new players were welcomed to by the 63-year-old presenter for a chance to answer general knowledge questions in order to win a large cash prize.
The last player to face The Sinnerman was Myles, who witnessed two of his teammates make it through the final chase.
53-year-old Paul was seen taunting Myles with the money offer, which led to the contestant admitting that he didn't think the proposal would tempt him, but it did.

The offers soon popped up on the board, and Paul told Myles: "I taunted you a little bit earlier that you wouldn't go high. What if you got the highest offer we've ever offered on a daytime show of £109,000."
Myles's teammates advised him to take the £6,000 he already had, but he was convinced otherwise.
Bradley agreed with the 26-year-old's decision as he expressed: "Complete no-brainer."
Myles replied: "I didn't think I'd go for the higher offer, but it's a six-figure sum. It's got to be the 109."
The show's presenter exclaimed: "You've got to!"
Bradley shook his head in awe as Paul replied: "I have no idea what's about to happen next, but by taking that offer, you've made history, whatever happens."
Myles was three from home before he was caught by the chaser and was eliminated from the game, walking away with nothing.
Despite the loss, Bradley reassured him that he had made the right decision, while Paul gave him a round of applause for his performance.
Reassuring the young man the presenter said: "I think just going for it shows a lot about you,"
"You absolutely 100 percent chose the right amount.
"Despite not getting through, you have to go for it!"
In the final Chase, The Sinnerman faced and defeated John and Anna, who made it through to the final round by scoring 16 points in two minutes.
Paul caught the duo with only 26 seconds remaining on the clock.
