ITV The Chase viewers in stitches over contestant's 'brilliant' jackpot plans

A player on tonight's episode of The Chase left viewers amused when she revealed what she wanted to spend any potential winnings on.

In the episode of the smash-hit quiz show, which was a repeat, contestant Suzanne told presenter Bradley Walsh she wanted to get a gastric band - a common type of weight loss surgery.

The player said the surgery usually costs around £5,000.

Suzanne managed to earn £6,000 in her cash builder round, which prompted Bradley to say: "You know what you can get? A gastric band and a grand's worth of chocolate."

The player also confessed her husband Bill didn't think she needed to get a gastric band.

Her unusual desire amused viewers, who took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One viewer said: "Gastric band - klaxon said no one ever".

Michael commented: "What will you spend your theoretical winnings on? - "A gastric band, Brad" Brilliant".

Irma said: "“what will u do with the money? Get a gastric band “ woman after my own heart".

Joe added: ""What would you like if you win some money?" "A gastric band" F***ing hell".

Suzanne made it back to the Final Chase to take on Shaun 'the Dark Destroyer' Wallace for a stab at a cash jackpot.

*The Chase airs on ITV weekdays from 5pm
