ITV The Chase under fire over 'embarrassing' end to show

The Chase came under fire as fans slammed the end of today's show.

Bradley Walsh welcomed four new quizzers on Tuesday's edition of the ITV gameshow. Nathan, Victoria, Rich and Pam tested their wits against Shaun Wallace on the latest episode.

Nathan was up in seat one and Bradley was taken aback by his impressive stature after he revealed he was 6"10. He joked: "He makes The Beast look like Janette Krankie".

The 43-year-old continued his superb display as he proceeded to navigate his way past The Chaser. Nathan was joined in the Final Chase by Victoria and Pam as they aimed to take home £19,000.

They built up 16 steps but fans felt one of Nathan's answers was unfairly marked as incorrect. Bradley asked: "Daniel Bedingfield had a first number one hit with what UK single?"

Nathan answered "I Gotta Get Thru This" but Bradley denied the answer as the specific name of the song is just "Gotta Get Thru This."

Bradley and the Chaser were both sympathetic after the decision as the host explained the rules have to be "strict". Viewers following the show on Twitter were unhappy the team were denied a point.

Rich said: "Pathetic and pedantic on the Daniel Bedingfield song question"

Adam added: "Seems harsh to not give the Daniel Bedingfield one, surely they shouldn’t give “Simpsons” without “the” either then"

Lee posted: "Hope they don’t lose out because of that. Harsh"

Penev commented: "How can you not give him that Daniel Beddingfield answer, embarrassing that"

The team built up 16 steps and it is unlikely the extra step would have made too much of a difference as they were caught with 17 seconds remaining.
