Bradley Walsh angers The Chase viewers over 'unfair' end to the show

The Chase viewers have accused host Bradley Walsh of giving an unfair advantage to The Chasers after an 'unfair' end to Tuesday night's episode.

In the latest instalment of the popular ITV quiz show, three out of the four contestants made the Final Chase.

However, after Jenny Ryan, aka Vixen on the show, caught them, people had suspicions over Bradley's style of questioning.

As they watched the Final Chase, viewers reckoned that Bradley was asking the questions too slowly for the contestants by way of sabotage.

And they said the slow speed of his quizzing meant The Vixen had an unfair advantage.

Twitter became a hotbed of comment as one said: "ITV, I have noticed long ago at what speed Bradley Walsh reads questions to contestants and to Chasers. I have tweeted. It's a clever way on the ITV side."

Another commented: "How many more questions get squeezed in for the chaser in the final chase than for the team @ITVchase? It's an absolute joke."

As Nwamaka, Joe and Alicia competed to win £59,000 in the Final Chase Bradley's slow style began to enrage viewers.

Someone said: "The Chase p***s me off, when they have a lot of money they give the chaser easy question, f*** this."

The Vixen meantime was able to get 19 questions with relative ease - and even had 15 seconds left on the clock.

An angry fan of th show said: "P***es me off when Bradley Walsh pretends like he’s on the contestants side but reads their questions out slow, but when it’s the chasers turn sure he spits words out faster then Eminem."

Another viewer accused: "@ITVChase can't tell me your show isn't fixed."

And someone else pleased: "Why am I not seeing the timeline bring up the fact that Bradley Walsh reads the questions out a mile a minute for the chasers and slow as f*** for the contestants? He knocks me sick. #TheChase."

The Chase continues to air each and every weekday from 5pm with episodes also available to catch up with via the ITV Hub streaming platform and on demand service, with Bradley Walsh presenting the show each Monday to Friday.
