The Chase viewers all make same complaint minutes into show as viewers 'switch off'

The Chase fans were on the look out for new episodes but were sorely disappointed today as the ITV show seemingly offered nothing new. "These are repeats. #TheChase," one exasperated fan exclaimed.

A second follower groaned: "Governess again? Wasn't she on on Monday?" A third pointed out: "They're still [screening] 'new' episodes of The Chase Celebrity Special and Tipping Point: Lucky Stars on the shelf that were filmed in 2022."

Another wrote: "One of the great poor episodes tonight #TheChase."

Others suggested they would be switching off as a fourth remarked: "Any point in watching the rest of #thechase?"

Another said: "Not much point watching the final chase. That was embarrassing. #TheChase." While a sixth added: "The final chase is sending me to sleep… #TheChase."

As the show kicked off, host Bradley Walsh joked about a contestant's choice of outfit despite him being a fashion guru - but not everyone was impressed.

"I like the chinos, is that why you're hiding your hands there?" Bradley teased, before adding: "You're a teacher of fashion!" The contestant went on to reveal that he produced his own clothes, while tutoring a group of 16-19 year-olds at college.

Bradley went on to tell him: "It's a wonderful thing to do!" Later, as the interrogation began, he correctly answered "Alan Sugar" to one of the questions, but one tweeter thought the host had delivered a patronising response.

He responded: "Alan Sugar”, while Bradley shot back: "It’s Lord Sugar but I’ll give you that!”, prompting the bemused social media user to exclaim: "Er…yeah COS IT’S RIGHT!!"

Meanwhile, another contestant was brutally mocked by fans for seemingly not getting a single question correct.

The embarrassing moment saw one lament: "I suppose they have to try and balance the team out to make it reasonably fair on The Chaser, but it's a bit painful to watch when they've put someone on who seems to be there just as cannon fodder."

"Wait, did she not get a single question right?" another concerned viewer chimed in.

Another ambitious contestant reported her plans to visit all of the castles and stately homes in Britain, already having ticked a mammoth 50 off her list.

Over in France, she's been even busier, having visited 103 of its "prettiest historic villages" out of a possible 159.

However, Reunion in the Indian Ocean is one French-owned territory she says she won't be travelling towards, as she "can't get the motor home there".

The Chase airs weekdays on ITV at 5pm
