The Chase viewers were absolutely raging during Thursday's episode when player Kelly took a minus offer from chaser Anne Hegerty.
Kelly accepted the offer of -£6,000, which many viewers believe is always a complete no-go.
They took to Twitter in droves to share their outrage at Kelly's game playing tactics, branding her a "thief" and a "w***r".
However, Bradley Walsh defended Kelly's decision to take the lower offer after she faced Anne, because she might have been caught.
"I am so sorry I took the minus," she told her fellow players.
"You had to get there, you had to get there," Bradley reassured her.
After Kelly's cash builder round, Anne told her: "Well it's not the greatest cash builder I've ever seen, but you will know things the others won't know, so I need to get rid of you.
She offered Kelly a low offer of -£6,000 and a high offer of £48,000, warning her "cowardice is expensive".
Consulting the other players, they all told Kelly they would not mind if she took the low offer.
Ciaran told her: "If you take the -£6k, and you take it back and we win, that's £12k each.
The important thing for you is to do what you are comfortable with, and get back."
David added: "I think that you've got to make the decision yourself, but I would be very comfortable with you going with £4,000."
"I don't think the chaser has got many questions wrong today, so it's a tough decision," commented Bradley.
"I can't believe I'm going to say this, because I said I never would, but I am going to take the -£6,000," resolved Kelly.
Twitter was much less forgiving than Kelly's fellow players, with one writing: "Kelly is a THIEF #TheChase ".
"How disappointing #TheChase " added another.
"NO WAY?! MINUS £6k?! #TheChase " remarked a third.
Another raged: "Kelly kelly kelly......total low offer w****r #TheChase ".
"-£6,000 offer, get in the f**king sea #TheChase " ranted another.
"There is always one to ruin it. LOW OFFER B!TCH Twitter, do your thing. #TheChase " wrote another angry viewer.
* The Chase airs on weekdays on ITV at 5pm
