The Chase viewers distracted by contestant's 'stupid' habit throughout ITV show

The Chase fans were left less than thrilled, taking to social media to urge one contestant to 'stop' after noticing her distracting habit.

In the episode aired on Friday (January 3), host Bradley Walsh, 64, was back on our screens with four hopefuls aiming for a hefty cash prize.

The team, comprising Tom from Oxford, Yasmin from Surrey, Mercedes from Blackpool, and Gary from Wigan, faced off against Jenny Ryan, also known as The Vixen, in a battle of wits.

Yasmin, who was second to challenge The Vixen, chose to play for a modest £1,000. Despite giving it her all, she failed to outsmart the chaser and was knocked out of the game.

However, it was her constant giggling throughout the round that caught viewers' attention, prompting them to express their annoyance on X, formerly known as Twitter, reports the Mirror.

One viewer exclaimed: "Who's giggling now? WHO'S GIGGLING NOW? ! " while another remarked: "Bet she ain't giggling now #TheChase."

A frustrated fan commented: "Oh my word, the giggling... Please make it stop #TheChase."

And yet another advised: "Might do better if you listen to the questions rather than stupidly laughing and giggling! ! #TheChase."

A recent episode of the show saw a contestant make history. Audiences were left in shock when they found out that Margaret, at 92 years old, was the oldest female participant on the show.

Margaret shared that she had resided in Cambridgeshire for the last eight years, but due to her husband's RAF career, they had relocated 33 times. She also disclosed that her son Matthew had previously been on The Chase and won £25,000, which motivated her to try her luck.

Bradley Walsh couldn't hide his surprise at Margaret's age, highlighting that she was the oldest female contestant the show has ever had, and praised her for looking so good for her age.
