ITV The Chase fans compare contestant to a 'backup dancer' in final

Fans of ITV's award-winning gameshow The Chase branded a contestant a "backup dancer" after a poor performance in the last round.

Viewers were cheering on the team to take home £10,000 between them - despite one taking the minus offer.

But when Adebola failed to help the team in the final chase, people couldn't forgive her.

James and Gareth took the score to 19 in the hope Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha would fail to catch them.

Following a tight round, and with nine seconds to spare, The Sinnerman caught them leading fans on Twitter to comment on the team's performance.

@caLisGod said: "Adebola the backup dancer."

@irishmarvelfan said: "And they lost. Feel sorry for James he was decent. Adebola goes home with what she deserves though with absolutely nothing."

@darrenbizzle2 said: "Having Adebola in the final chase is like turning up to an earthquake with a dustpan and brush.... pointless"

But others felt it was was great effort by the team and the show's host Bradley Walsh said it was a "fantastic contest".

Even the chaser said it was "well played" and viewers at home also congratulated Paul for keeping his cool and making it to the end.

One, @gerryod51 said: "Paul @paulsinha keeping calm under pressure, well played."

*The Chase is on ITV1 weekdays from 5pm and available on BBC iPlayer.

This was a repeat.
