ITV The Chase fans in uproar as player loses £1000 after claims Bradley Walsh made 'mistake'

The Chase fans were in uproar tonight after they claimed a player lost £1000 after Bradley Walsh made an unusual error.

Barbara from Bristol was on the show hoping to win some money to spend on London theatre breaks.

The 68-year-old put in a stellar round, managing £7000 in the cash-builder.

But fans weren't happy as they believed Barbara should have had an extra £1000 in the pot.

They claimed Bradley marked one of Barbara's answers as wrong when it was actually correct.

Many thought Bradley had asked Barbara what was in the centre of a Ferrero chocolate.

Barbara replied 'hazelnut' but Bradley told her it was an 'almond'.

There was drama on Twitter as users were quick to say a whole roasted hazelnut is encased in a Ferrero Rocher.

Twitter user @misslionheart wrote: "Ferrero Rocher is a chocolate and hazelnut confectionery produced by the Italian chocolatier Ferrero @ITV."

Donna wrote: "#TheChase just diddled the contestant Barbara out of £1000 as Ferrero Rocher does have a hazelnut in the middle not an almond!!"

Steve said: "Ferrero Rocher answer wrong? Pretty sure its a Hazelnut NOT an almond??"

And another wrote: "It's a hazelnut in Ferrero Rocher."

But in this case, viewers were incorrect to call Bradley out.

In fact, the host had asked what is at the centre of a Ferrerro Raffaello.

So Barbara's answer of hazelnut was in fact wrong, as a Ferrerro Raffaello is an almond confectionery.
