Fans of ITV's The Chase have expressed frustration after a series of episodes ended with contestants failing to win any money. Monday's episode saw host Bradley Walsh introduce four players—Olly, Michelle, Carl, and Laura—who faced Chaser Anne Hegerty, known as The Governess. Despite strong performances in the cash builder rounds, all four were caught by Anne, leaving with nothing.
Bradley Walsh praised the team, saying, 'One of the best we've had on in a long, long while. You don't come to the table collectively 27.' Anne Hegerty noted, 'I believe this may be the highest scoring set of cash builders that I've ever wiped out.' However, viewers took to social media to complain, with one writing on X, 'Think it’s fair to say that #thechase has died its death now and needs to be removed or the design of it needs a revamp.' Another added, 'ITV should be ashamed of themselves.'
This comes after a previous episode where contestant Nick shocked fans by taking a minus offer of £14,000, reducing the prize pot. In that episode, three players faced Chaser Jenny Ryan, with only Bev successfully adding £40,000 to the team pot before Nick's controversial move. Despite the backlash, the show continues to air weekdays on ITV.
