ITV The Chase fans praise Liverpool contestant for brave decision

The Chase fans praised a contestant from Liverpool for making a brave decision on tonight's show.

Alicia, 28, from Formby, took on The Dark Destroyer, Shaun Wallace, who was tonight's Chaser.

Before heading to the board Alicia chatted to host Bradley Walsh and said she loved to travel.

Civil Servant Alicia said she had recently travelled to four countries in a week with her dad Brian and her best friend.

If she won cash on the show Alicia said she was planning a trip to Spain and then Canada, where she wanted to get into translation.

Alicia managed to score £2,000 in her cash builder, with Bradley telling her it "didn't matter."

Alicia was then faced with the option of taking a minus £2,000 offer, taking her £2,000 or a high offer of over £30,000.

Her team urged her to consider the low offer and viewers at home were also convinced she would take the lowest offer.

So when Alicia opted for the £2,000 fans took to social media saying how much they respected her decision.

Declan Kincaid said: "Good for her sticking with the £2,000."

Steve Evans said: "Fair play well done girl."

Russell Ferguson said: "Respect."

And Patrick Cahill said: "Go Alicia!!!"

Sadly Alicia couldn't make it past Shaun when it came to the final game and she left with nothing.

But as she left Bradley told her: "Give my love to Formby, what a beautiful place."

*The Chase continues at 5pm on ITV tomorrow
