ITV's The Chase slammed by fans after 'pointless' episode

Fans of The Chase were left distinctly unimpressed with the ending of today's episode.

Four new quizzers appeared on the popular ITV gameshow and took on Chaser Shaun Wallace in a bid to win a cash prize.

Bradley Walsh welcomed Rebekah, Rhom, Kath and Mark onto the show to test their knowledge against The Dark Destroyer.

However, it was only Kath, a retired customer service assistant, who made it to the Final Chase.

Rebekah, a 27-year-old project manager, was first up and built up £5,000 before she was caught.

Rhom and Mark both gambled by taking the higher offer and were swiftly caught by Shaun Wallace - who was in imperious form.

Bradley Walsh accused the players of being too 'gung-ho' with taking the higher amounts - and this left Kath competing on her own for £4,000.

Kath only managed to build up five steps in the Final Chase and Shaun Wallace caught her in 27 seconds - and fans took to Twitter to slam the final round as pointless.

One user said: "Only caught the last 5 minutes...Missed a classic ...not.

Another commented: "A waste of an hour see you all tomorrow"

A third added: "What was even the point in airing this episode?"

A fourth tweeted: "This is a cutting room floor episode..."

The Chase continues tomorrow at 5pm on ITV and ITVHub
