ITV Beat the Chasers contestant wins huge jackpot with second to spare

Beat the Chasers fans were thrilled when a contestant won £100,000 with a second to spare on tonight's show.

Jean from Chester was the last player on tonight's show, and had a mediocre cash builder round.

But despite her OK performance the former teacher decided to go up against all five Chasers to win the huge jackpot.

The magistrate had a run of good questions, while the Chasers floundered over several.

It came down to the wire but Jean managed to beat them with one second spare.

Host Bradley Walsh looked stunned as did Jean, Bradley rushed to hug her and the audience went wild.
