Scots The Chase contestant in 'worst team ever' with smallest collective score and three lower offers

A Scots The Chase contestant has been branded as one of the 'worst ever' as the team collectively brought in what is thought to be the lowest recorded score in the programme's history.

Donna, from Carnoustie, appeared on the ITV show on Monday evening in a bid to win money to 're-vamp' her Renault Clio.

Donna, who works as a sign-maker, was asked by host Bradley Walsh what she does in Carnoustie and she said at home in her spare time she does 'not a lot' but she admitted she does enjoy arts and crafts.

Brad went on to ask her what she likes to do to 'switch off and relax' and again she said: "Arts and crafts, I like to play mobile games, Pokemon Go is one of my favourite."

The presenter laughed: "Yeah, ok, cool, excellent stuff, it was a massive craze about 4 or 5 years ago?"

She replied: "Yeah I'm still playing it!"

He then went on to ask her if she had any ambitions should she win some cash and she said: "Well if I win anything I would like to wrap my own car, for my job I do a lot of vehicle wrapping for other people, so I would like to do my own...it's a Renault Clio."

In Donna's cash builder, she only managed to get two questions correct.

Some of the questions included: "Leave before the lights come on" is a hit from what Sheffield rock band?" Donna passed but the answer was The Arctic Monkeys.

Bradley also asked: "In 2022, who won his fourth consecutive men's singles title at Wimbeldon?" Donna answered Roger Federer but the answer was Novak Djokovic.

She only managed to secure £2,000 but opted for The Chaser's lower offer of £1,000.

Donna said: "I always said I wouldn't take a minus but I never said I wouldn't take a low offer so I'll take the £1,000."

The 36-year-old made it back for the final chase, however the contestant before Donna - Bob - was caught and sent home and Catherine, who followed her, also took the lower offer, bringing back £1,000.

Mark 'The Beast' Labbett said that it could be the lowest amount in the show's history, adding: "I'm trying to work out if this team will get the lowest ever combined score."

The final contestant to take to the table was Reise who managed to get £3,000 but also opted for the lower offer which meant the final chase was worth only £3,000 - a show first.

In the final Chase Catherine answered 14 of the the questions correctly, Donna answered one right and two wrong while Reise didn't answer any at all.

Bradley, Donna and Reise gave Catherine a round of applause as the team secured 18, which included their three-person head start.

And fans took to Twitter to talk about the performance, one wrote: "This Reiss, Catherine & Donna episode of the chase is the worst I've ever seen #TheChase."

Another said: "Probably the worst contestants ever on The Chase today."

While one penned: "There was only one body working."

Another wrote: "Donna stay in Scotland."

One commented: "Terrible episode."

While one added: "Only Catherine answered 99% of the questions, the rest were just there like statues."

The Beast caught up with the team with eight seconds to go, meaning Donna's Renault Clio will remain green for the time being.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on STV.
