ITV The Chase contestant completes rarely seen feat before heartbreak

A Chase contestant shocked Bradley Walsh and the rest of the studio tonight, as she completed a rarely seen feat.

Roberta, 48, chatted to Bradley about her plans for what she'd do if she won some cash and said she wanted to travel to Graceland with her boyfriend who was a huge Elvis fan.

The train driver from Newport started off with her cash builder and stunned Bradley as she managed to score £10,000 by getting 10 questions right in a minute.

Bradley said: "Wow that hasn't happened in a long, long time."

And Paul Sinha, who was tonight's Chaser, was also full of praise for Roberta, he said: "Very well played Roberta, are you sure you're a train driver and not a quiz Jedi?"

Paul offered Roberta a rarely seen low offer of £3,000, but she decided to play for the £10,000 instead.

But her joy soon turned to heartbreak as she was knocked out during her head to head, after getting a couple of key questions wrong.

Roberta looked very sad to be leaving, with Bradley also sad to see her go.

And viewers at home also thought she'd had some bad luck.

Mace Windu said: "Roberta's performance turned into a train wreck !"

Pollyk said: "What a damn shame! Hard luck Roberta . What a waste"

Simon said: "£10,000 in the cashbuilder... And then caught! Must feel gutted."

And Liam said: "Went from absolute scenes to a massive let down."

*The Chase continues at 5pm on ITV tomorrow
