Jenny Ryan has hit back at an accusation that new quiz show Beat The Chasers is fixed in favour of the Chasers.
After much hype, The Chase's spin-off show kicked off this week and there have so far been two episodes, with the contestants having varying degrees of success at taking on The Chasers, who have united for the first time ever to become one formidable team of quiz brains.
Monday's first episode sparked some controversy when Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha was accused of giving Jenny a 'dirty look' after she got a question wrong.
Both Paul and Jenny denied this and on Tuesday night, Jenny, better known to millions of Chase fans as The Vixen, denied an accusation from a viewer watching Beat The Chasers at home, that the show is fixed, claiming that the Chasers were getting easier questions than the contestants.
It stemmed from the Chasers being given 'what animal lives in a warren?' compared to the contestant getting a difficult history one about Edward I.
Jenny hit back to the now deleted tweet to say: "It's the same single set of questions. If the contestant had correctly answered "ticks" previously, the Edward I question would have come to us, and the warren question to the contestant. That's the way this quiz works. "
Other viewers weren't happy either. One tweeted: "that beat the chasers round was ridiculous. What animal lives in a warren compared to the contestants questions. Don’t tell me they are random," and, in agreement, another posted: "Questions on Beat the
Chasers far too easy. Chasers just got asked what animal lives in a warren ffs."
Being even more sceptical, another reacted: "loving Beat the Chasers. Can’t help but think when Sally was chasing 75k the ITV accountant threw in the rabbit/warren question."
