The Chase viewers were left stunned last night after a contestant was sent packing – despite winning £10,000 in his cash builder round.
During Tuesday’s show (February 2), contestant Marryk bagged himself the impressive sum in his first round with host Bradley Walsh.
However, he sadly lost out of the chance of winning it as he went up against Chaser Anne Hegerty.
What happened on The Chase?
Marryk shocked viewers during his incredible cash builder round, where he answered all ten questions correctly and won £10,000.
But his luck soon changed as he failed to give a single correct answer in the head-to-head.

He chose to play for £10,000, despite being offered a higher figure of £50,000.
After Marryk was knocked out by The Governess, host Bradley stated: “I’ve never seen that.”
A disappointed Marryk replied: “Questions didn’t fall for me, they fell for me in the first round and not this one. These things happen.”
Meanwhile, Bradley repeated: “I’ve never seen that before.
Questions didn’t fall for me, they fell for me in the first round and not this one
“I’ve never seen a 10 go out without answering a question in the head-to-head.”
In addition, Anne was just as stunned.
Furthermore, the Chaser said: “He was an amazingly strong player, he would have been a tremendous threat in the Final Chase.
“I’ve done myself a big favour getting rid of him.”
What did viewers say?
It didn’t take long for ITV viewers to share their disbelief on Twitter.
One said: “No way did Marryk just get £10k on the cash builder and get every question wrong on the ladder.”
