The Chase’s Bradley Walsh noticed one contestant’s shock reaction to his teammate taking the lower offer of minus £2,000.
Daniel, Ollie, Cate and Anne were on the show hoping to win a large sum of money.
Up first was Daniel, a management assistant from Hertfordshire, saving for his wedding day.
He had a strong cash builder, answering six questions correctly before playing in the head-to-head.
Choosing to stick to the middle offer of £6000, Daniel stormed through to the final.
Next was Ollie, 21, from Manchester, who didn’t fare so well in the cash builder.
After answering no questions correctly, The Beast offered Ollie £20,000, £0 or -£2000.
Anne advised Ollie to stick with his £0 and come back to the team.
But Cate’s suggestion caused a stir.
She suggested Ollie take the minus offer, which was more than likely going to secure him a place in the final.
As soon as Cate spoke, Bradley noticed a change in atmosphere.
Whilst usually he wouldn't comment on contestant's choices, he couldn't help but say: “We’ve got raised eyebrows there.”
Referring to Daniel, who had just worked very hard to secure a decent sum of money, Bradley asked for his opinion.
Daniel told Ollie to stick with the £0, but Ollie decided against it and controversially chose the minus £2000.
Viewers were furious at Ollie’s decision, with many taking to Twitter.
Nicole said: “Don’t want Ollie to have any of the money.”
Jay tweeted: “Ollie should have stayed at home.”
Keven said: “I hope Ollie feels ashamed by taking away any cash if the team win! Added nowt, took away 2K! FFS.”
And Grey said: “What a waste of space, Ollie taking -£2000. Selfish.”
