ITV The Chase fans predict player is new Chaser after huge win

The Chase fans predicted that a contestant was in fact the new Chaser after he helped the team set a huge target to beat in the final Chase.

Environmental consultant Richard did amazingly well as he went up against The Vixen, Jenny Ryan, who was tonight's Chaser.

Richard, from Aberdeen, managed to get £7,000 in his cash builder but decided to play for the big money and went for the high offer of £50,000.

This meant the team were playing for a huge £60,000 and the Chase was on.

The team compromising of Richard, Rebecca and Alex managed to set a huge target of 23 for the Chaser to catch in the final Chase.

Jenny was clearly rattled by the team as she got several questions wrong and gave them the chance to push her back even further.

The team managed to win £20,000 each, with Jenny fuming she couldn't catch them.

All week the Chase have been teasing their new Chaser but he is yet to emerge and now viewers thought that Richard might be the new Chaser following his very impressive performance.

Kenny Jones said: "This time next year Richard will be revealed as a new Chaser."
