Bradley Walsh and today’s Chaser, Mark Labbett, were joined by four new contestants on The Chase who all hoped to outsmart the Beast and take home their share of the jackpot prize. However, some viewers weren’t impressed with one contestant after he made a shocking confusion when Mark offered him a higher and lower offer in the usual fashion. 

Lexi, 33, Pete, 26, Helen, 70 and Amit, 19 were all welcomed onto the show by ITV host Bradley. 

First up to face the Chaser was Lexi who earned an impressive £8,000 in her cats builder round and breezed her way into the final. 

Next up was Pete who admitted he wasn’t happy after earning just £1,000 before taking on the Beast.

However, he proved the Chaser wrong and managed to secure his place in the final.

Then it was Helen’s turn to face Mark, who after a shaky start, added £5,000 to the jackpot prize fund. 

Amit was last up and followed in the footsteps of Pete by answering one question correctly in his cash builder round. 

Mark offered Amit the option of minus £2,000, £46,000 or the £1,000 he had earned. 

But when Amit gave his explanation for sticking with his £1,000, many viewers weren’t impressed. 

After listening to the advice from his team, Amit revealed he didn’t want to “take away from the team” and opt for the lower offer.

However, he also suggested the higher offer “wasn’t tempting enough” to persuade him to take a gamble.

One viewer slammed his confession as they wrote: “46k offered for 1k and that’s not tempting enough? What did he expect? #TheChase.”

Another shared: “£46,000 not tempting enough?! Greedy t**t! #TheChase.”

“The higher offer isn’t tempting enough so he goes for the measly grand #TheChase,” a third questioned.

“£46k isn’t enough to tempt me to have to answer one extra question oh f**k off #TheChase,” a fourth tweeted.

Someone else added alongside a rolling eyes emoji: “Offer of 46k isn’t enough #TheChase.”

“D***q? 46k is not enough? #TheChase,” a sixth remarked.

Unfortunately Amit was caught by the Chaser and was unable to add his £1,000 to the winning pot.

Lexi, Pete and Helen set the Beast a target of 16 questions but this wasn’t enough for them to scoop the £14,000 prize.

Despite correctly answering the one push-back opportunity they were given, Mark caught the team with 43 seconds spare.

The Chase airs weekdays on ITV at 5pm.
