Bravely, Heidi went for the high option. “I’ve got nothing to lose, I’ve got no team there,” she said.
“Good for you! Seriously, well done,” said Brad.
She beat Mark and made it through to the final chase.
She set up 10 steps for the chaser to beat. Unfortunately, she didn’t get to walk away with her cash prize.
The Beast caught her with 56 seconds remaining.
