ITV The Chase fans in stitches as player confused about road crossings

A player on The Chase questioned his whole life after getting an answer wrong on Wednesday.

Host Bradley Walsh welcomed on Chris, Chloe, Ekow and Jo to take on Chaser Shaun Wallace. They had to answer questions correctly across three rounds to be in with a chance to go home slightly richer.

Ekow was third to play after Chris was sent home with nothing and Chloe added £25,000 to the prize pot. During the 28-year-old's cashbuilder round he was asked 'what crossing shares its name with a black and white bear?'

Obviously feeling a bit put on the spot, Ekow's mind went to the first crossing he could think of, as he answered ' zebra ' - which clearly isn't a bear. Fans thought it was hilarious, as did chaser Shaun.

At the end of the round the chaser joked: "I don't mind quizzing with you but I wouldn't want to cross the road with you."

Ekow said: "I said zebra? And what was the answer? Panda? Panda crossing?" His face showed an expression proving that he didn't have a clue what that was.

Questioning his whole life, Ekow said: "Have I been calling it the wrong thing all of my life?" Brad said: "No there are zebra crossings, but also panda crossings. Pelican crossings too."

Fans on Twitter were in tears with laughter at the question. Jade said: "'Shares its name with what black and white bear?' 'Zebra' #thechase" accompanied by crying laughing emojis. Gem said: "Just spat my drink out #TheChase."

Sierra added: "Black and White bear? Zebra. Never gonna live that down."

But other fans felt for him as they had never heard of a panda crossing either. One user said: "#thechase to be fair… what is a panda crossing! Never heard of it!"

Fiona said: "Never heard of a #panda crossing #TheChase". Steve added: "There is no such thing as a panda crossing #TheChase".
