ITV The Chase fans stunned after contestant does the impossible against all odds

The Chase fans were thrilled tonight after contestant Sandy did the seemingly impossible.

A&E Doctor Sandy from County Tyrone scored £6,000 in his cash builder and showed he was a good player.

He told Brad that he wanted to take the nurses at Derry hospital out if he won, to show them that they're appreciated and to thank them for all the unseen work they do in the NHS.

And he went up against Anne Hegerty who was The Chaser today.

Sandy was the only person to get past The Governess today, with Wirral student Beth crashing out, along with two other contestants.

Sandy set a target of 16 for Anne to beat all by himself, but Bradley doubted it would be enough to beat her.

However a series of pushbacks and some sloppy errors on Anne's part meant that Sandy won with seconds to spare.

And fans took to Twitter in their droves after the against the odds shock victory.

Badger said: "Excellent, well done to Sandy the doctor from Derry, the whole A&E dept out on the town! They all deserve it, respect."
