The Chase’s Mark Labbett threatens to DESTROY cheeky contestant

She branded Jenny Ryan "not as good" as the other Chasers

The Chase’s Mark Labbett put contestant, Lucy, in her place in last night’s show after she branded fellow Chaser, Jenny Ryan, “not as good”.

The Beast warned Lucy that he was going to “destroy her” after she claimed The Vixen didn’t have the level of knowledge as the other Chasers.

When it came to facing The Chaser, TV host Bradley asked Lucy, a charity worker, which of the five chasers she would like to take on.

Lucy replied: “I’d love to take on The Vixen.

“She’s not too much older than me, but she is older than me, but I think her knowledge isn’t quite as good, so I reckon I could have a good chance of winning.”

Sadly for her, Mark walked on stage rather than Jenny, but he wasn’t too happy at Lucy’s comment!

The quiz master said: “Do you want to know how good The Vixen is? She’s way better than you and I’m gonna whoop you for that comment. I got a message from backstage. Destroy her! Written in red lipstick.”

And the Beast definitely wasn’t joking, as he caught up with her while she was still two answers from home, after she bagged £4,000 in the cash builder round.

Looking pleased, he said: “On behalf of both Jenny and myself, ta-ra.

“You insult one of us, you insult us all.”

Bradley joked: “Don’t mess with the Chasers!”

Even the Vixen herself commented on the show from home, tweeting: “That was a daft thing to say, Lucy…big trouble for you. #TheChase”.

She then went on to thank her fellow Chase buddy for defending her by saying: Aww, thanks @MarkLabbett #TeamChaser #TheChase” followed by a thumbs up GIF.

Fans of the show were happy to see Mark have Jenny’s back and expressed it through Twitter.

One viewer said: “Love how @MarkLabbett always sticks up for Jenny Ryan on #TheChase.”

Meanwhile, viewers weren’t impressed with Lucy’s comment.

One viewer said: Goodbye Lucy, that’ll teach you. #TheChase”.

Another said: “Haha really glad the beast caught Lucy on the chase #don’tmesswiththebeast #TheChase @MarkLabbett”.
