Fans of The Chase declared that yesterday’s (January 23) show was the “best in ages” after contestants won a huge sum of money against Darragh Ennis.
The ITV quiz show, which is hosted by Bradley Walsh, saw three contestants – Frank, Laura and Jake – make it to the Final Chase, where they answered 22 questions correctly.
Darragh, also referred to as The Menace, he admitted they did so well that they are an example of “how to do a Final Chase”.
The Chase contestants win a whopping £75k
While trying to answer 22 questions within two minutes, Darragh struggled on some, with contestants having five attempts to push back, three of which were executed. As the time whittled down to the final seconds, the Chaser managed to answer 20 within the time frame.
As a result, Frank, Laura, and Jake won £25,000 each. Celebrating their victory, they congratulated one another with a group hug.
Host Bradley described the final chase as “brilliant” and said the Chasers target of 22 was “extraordinary”.
When asked what each of the contestants would be spending the money on Jake said he would rent a private jet, while Laura said she would put her cash on a deposit for a house and as well use some for a holiday.
Frank also will be splashing the cash on a holiday to Chicago.
