Anne Hegerty fires insult at complaining contestant on The Chase

Anne Hegerty made a savage dig at a contestant on The Chase after they complained about her offers.

Steve, Dennis, Sacha and Rebecca joined forces in the hope they could win thousands of pounds.

The first contestant, Steve started well, earning a solid £6,000 for the team.

Up next was Dennis, who flaunted his quizzing knowledge by securing £7,000.

The pressure was then on Sacha, who was hoping to buy a new bed for her dog with the winnings, to perform as well as Steve and Dennis.

Unfortunately, some of the questions caught her out and she finished the cash builder with £3,000.

Meeting The Governess, Anne said she was not impressed by Sacha's performance.

Anne said: "I have a suspicion that Phoebe the pug could have done better than that."

Sacha said: "Thank you, I've trained her well."

In the head to head, Anne offered Sacha a low offer of -£1000 and a high offer of £20,000.

Turning back to her team for advice, Steve said: "Well, the minus is an insult, you did really well.

"Go for the £3,000 and get back here."

Sacha, unhappy with Anne's offers, said: "Well I'm not going for the minus and £20,000 isn't really tempting enough.

"So, we'll go with the three."

But Anne bit back: "I have a feeling we've already seen the brains of the team."

However, the safe option paid off for Sacha who made it through to the final, along with final contestant Rebecca, to win a total of £21,000.
