ITV The Chase's Paul Sinha 'irritated' after 'losing his mojo'

Paul Sinha seemed to have met his match on The Chase tonight.

Trevor, Emily, Mark and Viv were welcomed onto the ITV quiz show by Bradley Walsh. Working as a team they took on Chaser Paul to test their wits and hopefully go home somewhat richer.

But the quiz master faced a tougher challenge than normal as the team surprised him with how good they were. First up was 64-year-old Trevor.

He answered six questions correctly in the cash builder round and went on to play for a middle offer. He made it back to the bench with £,6000 in the prize pot.

Next up, 21-year-old medical student Emily told of her plans to buy a goat named Matilda with any winnings. She also bagged a place in the final chase, adding another £5,000 to the jackpot.

Third to play was Mark, 38, from St Helens. The player followed in the steps of Trevor as he too took a middle offer and secured a further £6,000 as the Chaser failed to catch him.

With three excellent players gaining places in the final round, Paul began to feel nervous. He joked that his mood was ruined as he said: "I'm just getting really irritable and very annoyed by how well they're playing. I've lost my mood."

Bradley laughed as he said: "So your mojo's gone?" The chaser replied: "Yeah, my mojo's gone.

"I'm over here but I'll get some right, I'll get some wrong..." He added: "They're just playing so well."

Viv was the final player to take on the Chaser. She got the lowest cash builder score in the game with four questions answered correctly. After advice from her team mates she decided to opt for the middle offer of £4,000 and was sadly sent home empty handed as Paul's luck finally turned around.

But Bradley warned the Chaser that the rest of the team were good. He said: "They're really good, even as a trio."

Between them they set 14 questions for Paul to answer in the final round. He said: "That wasn't very good, sorry. I'm not going to patronise you because you're a really good team but that's an underscore of maybe four or five."

It appeared the Chaser got his mojo back in true form as he flew through the questions with only one pushback. He ultimately beat the team with 52 seconds remaining - sending them home with nothing.
