Anger as ITV The Chase player does something she 'never said I'd do'

A Chase player caused some anger among viewers tonight as she did something she vowed she'd never do.

Author Julie from Scarborough told host Bradley Walsh that she had had three novels published, with a fourth set to be published next year.

In her spare time Julie said she was a brown owl and led a brownie pack of 24 girls, she also collected teddy bears.

If she won some cash Julie said she wanted to put it towards publishing her next book and getting a proper cover created.

Julie scored a respectable £4,000 in her cash builder and went up against Shaun Wallace, The Dark Destroyer, who was tonight's Chaser.

Julie admitted she was scared of Shaun, but had decided to treat him like one of her "cuddly teddy bears."

Shaun offered Julie a £1,000 low offer and after chatting to her teammate she decided to go for it.

She said: "I never said I'd do it but Terry is lonely, so I'm going for the £1,000."

Viewers were left unimpressed at home with several tweeting a series of expletives, after she took the low offer.

Shaun said it was a "wise decision" and Julie ended up managing to get past him with ease.

Bradley said: "You'd have had two goes at the four grand, but it doesn't matter you've made it into the final well done, congratulations."

And Shaun said: "You made a wise decision to go low because Terry needs the support."

In the final Chase Julie and Terry managed to set a target of ten for Shaun to catch, which he did so with ease, meaning they went home with nothing.

*The Chase continues at 5pm on ITV on Monday
