Paul was second up to the plate and managed to rack up an impressive £5,000 in the cash builder round.

However, it was what he did after that grabbed viewers’ attention.
As Anne sat down at the table, Paul said: “Hello sexy.”
If he was expecting a response from Anne, he was disappointed, as the Governess simply nodded.

Plenty of viewers picked up on Paul’s comment and couldn’t help but cringe. Many took to Twitter to discuss it.
“Hello sexy plssss,” one viewer cringed.
“‘Hello sexy’ [vomit emoji] @anne_hegerty so glad you got shut of him!” another tweeted.
“‘Hello sexy’? You [bleeping] cringey weirdo,” a third wrote.
“Bye bye sexy [vomit emoji],” another joked when Paul was eliminated.
What else happened on The Chase last night?
Before Paul called Anne “sexy”, his fellow contestant Caroline went up against the Governess.
Caroline won £7,000 in the cash builder round, however, she failed to evade Anne.
After Paul fell to Anne, it was Gus’ turn. He managed to win £6,000 in the cash builder – and took it back with him to the table.

Last up was Vicky, who picked up £4,000 in the cash builder. However, when offered the high offer of £54,000, she took it.
She managed to evade Anne too, meaning she and Gus were playing for £60,000 in the Final Chase.
However, despite getting a 14-point lead over Anne, she managed to catch them with 31 seconds remaining.
