ITV The Chase fans fuming after Anne Hegerty gets question incorrect about Mersey Gateway Bridge then is wrong again about Merseyside

The Chase fans were left fuming tonight, after Anne Hegerty got a question wrong on the show and then followed it up with more wrong information.

Tonight there was a question about which town the Mersey Gateway Bridge connects Runcorn to, with Bradley suspecting Anne would get the question right because it was "her neck of the woods"

The options were Wigan, Warrington or Widnes and contestant Orchid picked the wrong answer.

There was a tense moment but then it was revealed that Anne had picked Warrington - another wrong answer.

The correct answer was of course Widnes - with Bradley shocked Anne had got it wrong.

But it was what Anne said next that got fans incensed as she said "I knew it was Warrington or Widnes, they're both in Merseyside, I just didn't know which one it was."

However Warrington and Widnes are of course in Cheshire, and fans were quick to point out her mistake on social media.

And Paul said: "Tut tut @anne_hegerty #thechase Warrington and Widnes in Cheshire not Merseyside."

But some were just happy to see their hometown mentioned on The Chase.

Vladimir Raul said: "Runcorn got a mention on The Chase."

Laura said: "When Wigan is mentioned on #thechase "

And Polly K said: "Wigan! (thumbs up emoji) It's not that though."

Sadly Orchid, 20, crashed out of the competition, along with fellow contestants Steve and Coralie.

Leaving driver Josh, 35, to go up against Anne on his own in the final chase.

Josh set a target of 15 for Anne to beat, but she managed to catch him with 43 seconds remaining.
