The Chase Star Makes Record-Breaking Move as Contestant Makes Jaw-Dropping Demand
A dramatic episode of ITV’s The Chase aired on Wednesday, April 30, saw contestant Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan make a record-breaking move after being presented with a staggering demand by one of the contestants. According to a report from the Express, the show’s contestants were competing for a major cash prize, with the opportunity to earn money in their cash builder round and take it back to the prize pot.
The Express reports that after the first two contestants chose to play for lower amounts on the board, a frustrated Jenny was heard telling the third player, Libby, "there’s has to be a breaking point" to get players to take more risks on the show. In a shocking turn of events, Libby stunned host Bradley Walsh by demanding £100k from Jenny in order to take the high offer. The Express notes that without hesitation, Jenny agreed, and a high-stakes chase ensued.
Unfortunately for Libby, she was caught by chaser Jenny after stumbling on her second question and was unable to recover, sending her home with nothing. As the Express reports, Jenny commiserated with Libby, saying: "If I was offered £100k to take on a chaser I’d go for it any day of the week." This move by Jenny has been hailed as a record-breaking moment, with £100k being one of the highest offers ever on the show.
The Express states that the game did not end there, as player Alex, who had encouraged Libby to take the low offer, took his turn at the podium after scoring an impressive £7k in the cash builder. However, Jenny was determined to keep the stakes high, stunning him with an eye-watering offer of £120k. The Express reports that Alex was blown away by the staggering prize money, but ultimately met the same fate as Libby after stumbling on his questions and going home empty-handed.
Despite the contestants’ unsuccessful attempts to win big, fans at home applauded their efforts, praising them for at least trying to win big money on the show. As one fan commented: "it’s good to finally see some high stakes action on the chase for once! shame they didn’t get there but fair play to them #thechase." The Express notes that Martin, the final remaining player, took to the final chase round solo and impressed everyone by scoring a massive 19 points, putting himself in a great position to take home the £6k he earned against The Vixen.
In the end, Martin emerged victorious, with Jenny losing her focus and failing to catch him. The Express reports that Martin was delighted to take home his prize money, with one viewer commenting: "Fantastic performance from Martin, completely deserves the money!" Another added: "Well done Martin! It proves my point that it’s better for a decent player to face the chaser alone than be hindered by someone who’d guessed/blagged their way into the final." As the source, the Express, so aptly put it, Jenny’s record-breaking move was a thrilling moment in the show, showcasing the high-stakes action that The Chase has to offer.
The Chase continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of strategy and suspense, and this episode was no exception. With contestants pushing the limits and chasers working tirelessly to catch them, the show remains a must-watch for fans of game shows and competitive television.
