ITV's The Chase contestant slammed for going out on 'easy' question

Fans of ITV's The Chase slammed a contestant on today's episode for being eliminated after an "easy" question.

Hayley, from Leeds, went up against Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan in a new instalment of the hit quiz show.

After getting £2,000 in her cash builder, Hayley almost made it through to the final round before answering an "easy" question incorrectly.

Host Bradley Walsh asked Hayley: "The expression "turn over a new leaf" refers to what type of leaf?"

The options were the leaf of a plant, the page of a book or gold leaf.

Hayley selected the leaf of a plant, much to Bradley's dismay.

Bradley and the Chaser told Hayley the meaning behind the correct answer, which was the page of a book, to signal embarking on a new chapter or phase in one's life.

Bradley told her she played well before Hayley left the set.

Viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Polly said: "What an easy question to go out on [awkward emoji]"

Mace said: "Hopefully, Hayley will turn over a new leaf when she reviews her performance on"

Peter added: "The leaf of a plant! REALLY!"

Another Twitter user commented: "I’m turning over a new plant ..."

Mark joked: "You can 'leaf' by the nearest exit!"

John added: "No Brad. She didn't play well at all."

*The Chase continues tomorrow on ITV at 5pm
