The Chase contestants mocked for repeating same wrong answer and losing £8000

RUTHLESS The Chase fans mocked Tuesday's hopefuls after the final pair repeated an incorrect answer given by chaser Mark "Beast" Labbett.

During the final chase, host Bradley Walsh asked Labbett what year the Balfour declaraton was written in, to which he answered: "1918".

It was incorrect and so the contestants were given the chance to offer the correct answer and gain a space on the chaser.

But instead of offering a new answer, the pair accidentally gave Bradley the same answer of 1918, after suggesting 1917 amongst themselves, the correct answer.

"Plonkers" was one of the nicer phrases used against the finalists while one viewer called on them to give "less jokes and more answers".

Earlier in the show, the contestants had also annoyed viewers by being unable to answer questions and consistently passing.

The ITV quiz sees contestants attempt to build up a cash pot by beating the chaser during a series of individual rounds.

If the contestants can make it through to the final, they answer a series of questions and try to get as far as they an on the board in the allotted final two minutes.

But if the chaser catches them during their own round, it's game over.

It's rare for a team to beat the chaser but in early March the Governess was beaten with three questions left to spare and the team successfully executing two pushbacks.

Fans were loving The Chase's underdog Bhagwan and took to Twitter to share their joy at his win after he had earlier put zero cash into the pot.

One said: "Well played team I'm a Bhagwan Fan! #TheChase."

While another said: "Bhagwan’s played an absolute blinder there. £0 in his cashbuilder but got himself into the final chase. Strong teamwork leaves The Governess 3 adrift at the final buzzer and the team walk away with a healthy £4K each. You couldn’t write it #TheChase @ITVChase."

This fan didn't hold back: "Bhagwan is the real winner here, got no questions right, brought no money to the prize pot, did f** all, and won £4000 #TheChase."
