The Chase: Bradley Walsh SHAMES Jenny Ryan after player embarrassingly outshines chaser
THE CHASE continued this evening with another thrilling episode of the popular ITV quiz show, fronted by lively TV presenter and quiz host Bradley Walsh.
The Chase: Intelligent contestant Janet outshines the chaser
However, host Bradley Walsh wasn’t taking any prisoners today after the first player exceeded all expectations.
Janet, a 58-year-old former IT project manager who is between jobs but looking to retire, stunned The Chase quizmaster Jenny Ryan and viewers alike.
The Hertfordshire-based player brought back a whopping £40,000 to the final chase.
One particular question got the rest of the team talking.
Bradley asked: “Which of these historic battles took place most recently? Balaclava, Bannockburn or Bosworth.”

Both the chaser and Janet chose the correct answer of Balaclava.
Jenny then explained: “Balaclava was… it was in the Crimean war so we’re talking the mid nineteenth century.
The Vixen added: “Bosworth was 1485.
“It was the last significant battle of the war of the roses.”
Bradley then replied: “Right, thank you very much. Bannockburn?”
Oh come on! See! Ssh. Knew he was going to get it!
Revealing that she wasn’t sure, Jenny said: “Now you’re asking! I’m not good at the specific year.”
Unimpressed, Bradley turned to contestant Will, a 37-year-old postman from Wigtownshire, for an answer.
He asked: “Will? Bannockburn?” with will showing off his quizzing knowledge, replying: “1314!”
Bradley was not impressed that Will had outshone Jenny.
He quipped: “Oh come on! See! Ssh. Knew he was going to get it!”
Jenny laughed it off, smiling: “Lunchtime, quarter past one.”
Bradley added: “Come on, well played Will!”
Although Jenny managed to save £41,000 of the show’s funds leaving the studio, viewers praised contestant Janet for securing the huge amount.
One viewer tweeted: “Well done, Janet! #TheChase #GangOfChase.”
“#TheChase Well done Janet, but don't say do what you want to the rest. #Gangofchase,” posted another.
A third added: “Janet makes it safely back to the team with £40,000. Koala-ty start! Let's keep the good times rolling with our next contestant Dan! #TheChase.”
One fan of the show even suggested Janet, who is in between jobs, could secure a role as a new chaser.
They tweeted: “40K ... brilliant. Maybe Janet should be the next chaser @ITV #TheChase?”
