ITV's The Chase has fans divided as they all question 'blunder'

The Chase has come under fire from fans tonight after they were confused by the same thing.

Many thought that one of the questions was incorrectly worded but others were ready to prove them wrong.

As four more hopefuls, Sean, Becs, Hayley and Stephen, went head to head against chaser Anne Hegarty, fans on Twitter were busy arguing among themselves.

Hayley, a 35-year-old accountant, played first and managed to beat the Chaser and make her way back to the team adding the first lot of winnings to the pot.

As she got through to the final, adding £5,000 to play for, Bradley said: "First up and first through, well done."

Next up to play was 62-year-old retired teacher, Stephen.

But it was on his round were the confusion came into play.

One question was: "The website 'Plenty More Fish' is devoted to what activity?" with the possible answers being: "Angling, Cooking or Dating?"

Viewers took to Twitter to question the dating site's name as they shared their comments.

Bobby said: "Erm isn’t it called Plenty Of Fish? #TheChase"

Alexis said: "It’s Plenty OF Fish, not more! #TheChase"

Col said: "Take it from somebody who’s desperate like me, it’s POF not PMF #TheChase"

However, other fans were quick to correct anyone who questioned it, proving that ITV hadn't got it wrong.

Bri said: "Plentymorefish exists, I just looked it up for…. ahem ….research purposes #TheChase."

J said: "Plenty of Fish is a Canadian online dating service, popular primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Brazil, and the United States. It is available in nine languages #TheChase"

The game continued without a hitch as Stephen went on to join Hayley in the final, adding a further £8,000 to the prize pot with Sean also joining them with £6,000.

The final saw the three players go head-to-head with Anne as they played for a total of £19,000.

The Chaser had to correctly answer 25 questions within the two-minute time period.

She said: "If I catch that it's going to be a miracle. Very well done guys in advance."

The team luckily encountered three knockbacks which they answered correctly securing their cash prizes.

Each contestant went home £6,333 richer.
