Beat The Chasers viewers left heartbroken as young player with 13 GCSEs is 'robbed' of £100k

Fans of Beat The Chasers were left screaming at their televisions on Sunday night as a young player lost out on a whopping £100,000.

Student Rahim stole the hearts of viewers with his bravery as he decided to take on all five of the chasers at once for the jackpot prize, the Mirror reports.

The brainy youngster, who revealed he had 13 GCSEs, was commended for his fantastic playing style as he decided to gamble for the £100k jackpot.

The audience was impressed when he decided to take on Anne Hegerty, Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Paul Sinha and Jenny Ryan.

Rahim told Bradley: "I'm not losing anything and I got to meet you."

Clearly touched, Bradley replied: "More importantly, I got to meet you."

"I'm only here once so I think I'm going to take the five," said Rahim, who added that he would use the money to visit the Seychelles, where he is originally from.

"I wish you well, I want you to do great," Bradley told him.

The nerves started to get to Rahim and he began to stumble over some of his answers, taking too long and passing over four questions at the end.

In the end, Rahim was caught by the chasers and went home with nothing.

Bradley called him a "brilliant player" and assured him that one day he would return as one of the chasers.

One viewer tweeted: "Can someone set up a Go Fund Me page for Rahim. I've never been so sad to see someone lose £10000 #gofundme#BeatTheChasers ".

"Raheem was robbed there. So frickin’ close... #BeatTheChasers," added another.

"RAHIM!!! OMG, heartbroken for the lad #BeatTheChasers," wrote a third.
